G'day Lindsay,
I've got a somewhat similar use case, where I want to pass a template
through to another server for processing. So, you might start with
something like this;
http://example.com/login?{redirect_to}
which gets expanded into something like this;
http://example.com/login?http://other.example.net/target/%7btoken%7d
which the recipient knows to interpret as containing the template
http://other.example.net/target/{token}
Is that along the lines of what you're thinking?
Cheers,
