request:request-parameter($name as xs:string, $default-value as item()*) xs:string*
Returns the HTTP request parameter identified by $name. If the parameter could not be found, the default value is returned instead. Note: this function will not try to expand predefined entities like & or <, so a & passed through a parameter will indeed be treated as an & character.
$name
The parameter name
$default-value
The default value if the parameter does not exist
Returns the parameter value
Deprecated: Renamed to request:get-parameter.
This function could be removed at anytime during the 1.5 development and will be removed in the 1.6 release.
