Dudes, this is so not REST

With the first format you can use the same name more than once:

    /rdio/api/1/artist/1/tracks/2/artist/1

I'm pretty sure the ordering of query parameters isn't a part of the HTTP spec.

I just did a quick check and Django, for example, will just take the second of any duplicated GET params.

Ordering of query parameters is a W3C recommendation:

If Django's ignoring repeated form fields, it's Doing It Wrong.

You're right about the ordering, so I guess Django is actually doing it wrong.

You have to use the "getlist" method instead of "get" if you are expecting multiple values.
