    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3403?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13906850#comment-13906850 ] 

Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-3403:
------------------------------------------

Defined new API in Rev. 1570135:
* RequestParameter.getName(): the name of the request parameter
* SlingHttpServletRequest.getRequestParameterList(): List of request parameters in HTTP request order
* Adapt SlingHttpServletRequestWrapper and increase API version

Implementation of the new API in Rev. 1570136 plus:
* Ensure deployment on Servlet API 2 and 3 containers
* Support Servlet API 3 ServletContext API
* Fully parse request parameters for uniform encoding support

> As discussed on the dev list [1], Sling's request parameter support should be extended and improved:
> * Provide list of request parameters in the order specified in the request (the Servlet API does not define the order and servlet containers may or may not respect the order in the parameter map; but there is no official API to get the list of request parameters in the actual order as defined on the request)
> * Support Servlet API 3.0 style multipart/form-data requests
> * Make sure request parameters are uniformely supported on all servlet conainers with respect to character encoding and size restrictions.
> As a corollary to Servlet API 3 support for request parameters, we might also want to extend the ServletContext API to implement the Servlet API 3 methods (even though, most will just throw)
