A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator (URL) that assigns values to specified parameters. A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML document, choosing the appearance of a page, or jumping to positions in multimedia content.
Sending a no-cache value thus instructs a browser or proxy to not use the cache contents merely based on "freshness criteria" of the cache content. Another common way to prevent old content from being shown to the user without validation is Cache-Control: max-age=0 .

[9] The resulting string is encoded using a variant of Base64 (+/ and with padding).

Clicking on the hyperlink automatically opens the default email client, with the destination email address pre-filled. It is possible to specify initial values for headers (e.g. subject, cc, etc.) and message body in the URL.
