Added a parse_query_string() example #162

Hi

I added one more example that uses parse_query_string() to parse the GET request parameters. I think it might be useful for newcomers. It's a pretty common thing to do and I needed it in one of my projects and couldn't find any examples.

The following GET to path /parse with parameters name=Mary and lastName=Smith

localhost:8080/parse?name=Mary&lastName=Smith

will be parsed with parse_query_string() and the name + lastName will be returned as response.

Its similar to the John Smith example, but instead of parsing a JSON the query_string is parsed.

I also fixed a few typos here and there.

Please consider this pull request, and thanks for this project. I have been using it a lot.
