You just put the information in the URL, that's what it's for.

Don't use:
>   <FORM ACTION="http://turkey/htbin/query">
>   <ATTRIBUTE NAME="transactionid" VALUE="42">
Use instead:
    <FORM ACTION="http://turkey/htbin/query/transactionid=42">

You do not want to add busy work like this into the client.
