Push transformations e.g. predicates and sorts onto URL params? #8

Per jhyde: What, if any, transformation rules would be possible? I suppose some web services allow parameters which correspond to columns, and therefore if there is a filter on a column we should populate the parameter. Some may also sort their results, or implement a “limit”

Is there a general mechanism for doing so? This would seem to require a mapping between column and parameter (provided such parameters exist) as well (potentially) as a transformation of e.g. filter criteria.

Ideas, thoughts, use cases?
