-## GET/POST parameters
-
-- `${get_data["param"]}`
-- `${post_data["param"]}`
-
-Case-insensitive. If K/V pairs aren't used (but a string is provided, just without `=`) then
-it can be accessed through `${get_data}` / `${post_data}` (array element 0).
-
-### Arrays
-
-HTTP does arrays through concatenating multiple parameters with the same name. In our case, values
-are passed to a secondary array, and a reference to it is left for application use.
-
-```
-GET asdf/?a=1&a=2&a=3&b=1
-```
-
-will result in:
-
-```
-declare -A get_data=([b]="1" [a]="[array]" )
-```
-
-To get the value set out of an array, call `http_array <param_name> <output_name>`. For instance:
-
-```
-#!/bin/bash
-if ! http_array a array; then
-	echo "Not an array"
-	return
-fi
-
-for (( i=0; i<${#array[@]}; i++ )) {
-	echo "a[$i]=${array[i]}"
-}
-```
