A while ago, I wrote something like (well, actually, it was exactly like):

from urllib import urlencode

def addRequestURL(REQUEST, url, dict = {}):
    "Return an URL with REQUEST.form encoded as a query string."
    newREQ = {}
    # Copy REQUEST.form
    for key, val in REQUEST.form.items():
        newREQ[key] = val
    # Overwrite with supplied values.
    for key, val in dict.items():
        newREQ[key] = val
    return url + '?' + urlencode(newREQ)

which allows you to add new/modify existing items in the query string.
Would that help, Mr Person Who Originally Started This Thread?
