Brief overview

the Mongo REST API allows querying collections via GET /coll?filter={...}&sort={...}&keys&hint={...} specifying query parameters using query parameters.

Allow to pass the same parameters via headers as well.

Rationale

This feature increases the security (because headers are encrypted) and simplify handling special chars (chars that need to url encoded).

Example

GET /coll/filter={"_id": {"$regex": { "^.*<variable>" }}

If <variable> = " or <variable> = \ or <variable> = + the request fails. The variable must be encoded or quoted. This makes complex building dynamically queries.
