Hi Roger,

It's specified in the URL spec, [here](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application/x-www-form-urlencoded).

That format isn't actually fixed across all URLs -- or even all HTTP URLs. It was originally defined by HTTP and then migrated into the URL spec later. Furthermore, the URL specification doesn't (yet) specify syntax; only parsing algorithms. For the syntax, RFC3986 is authoritative (although there are some small differences between the two specs).
