  imgfetch http://192.168.0.1/auth.cgi##params=mydata

Create a request parameter list with the specified name. If no name is specified, the default (unnamed) request parameter list will be created.

If the --delete option is specified, the request parameter list will be deleted.

Command status

Success	The request parameter list was successfully created
Failure	The request parameter list was not successfully created

Build options

This command is available only when the build option PARAM_CMD is enabled.

Notes

Unnamed request parameter lists can be referenced as part of a URI by appending ##params to the URI specified in an iPXE command. For example:

  kernel http://192.168.0.1/boot.cgi##params

Named request parameter lists can be referenced as part of a URI by appending ##params=<name> to the URI specified in an iPXE command. For example:

  imgfetch http://my.web.server/boot/test.php##params=mydata

Request parameter lists are automatically deleted when referenced as part of a URI. You do not generally need to explicitly delete a request parameter list.
