| '''Summary'''
|Creates a new URL from the specified <code>$url</code> string and the , query string <code>$parameters</code> specified in a mapand an optional {{Code|$anchor}} reference. The keys and and values of the map entries will be converted to strings, URL-encoded (see [[#web:encode-url|web:encode-url]]), and appended to the url URL as query parameters. If a map entry has more than a single item, all of them will be appended as single parameters.

| '''Summary'''
|Creates a [[RESTXQ#Response|RESTXQ response header]] .<br/>Serialization parameters and header values can be supplied via the <code>$output</code> and <code>$headers</code> arguments, and status and message attributes can be attached to the HTTP response element with a default caching directive and default serialization parametersthe <code>$atts</code> argument.* <code>media-type</code>: <code>application/octet-stream<br/code>
Header options can be supplied via the <code>$headers</code> argument. Empty string values can be specified to invalidate default values. By default, the following header options will be returned:
* <code>Cache-Control</code>: <code>max-age=3600,public</code>
Serialization parameters can be supplied via the <code>$output</code> argument. Empty string values can be specified to invalidate default values. By default, the following serialization parameters will be returned:
* <code>media-type</code>: <code>application/octet-stream</code>
* <code>method</code>: <code>raw</code>
