body: <p>how can I pass parameters in the URL using Jetty 9 client Request?
  I tried the following but it did not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String url= http://localhost/myApp    
  Request request = httpClient.newRequest(url);
  request.param("param","value");
  </code></pre>

  <pre><code>http://localhost/myApp?param=value
  </code></pre>
