Is there a method to retrieve parameters in a URL, for an example, get the “user” param from the a URL like this.

```
http://localhost:2453/html5/index.html/?user=asdfresdfgh

```

I tried to follow the steps given [here](https://forum.defold.com/t/how-to-get-application-start-parameters-in-html5-solved/5888/7) but it seems difficult to understand. Some clear help on this regard is really valuable at the moment.

I would suggest that you get the URL like this:

```
local url = html5.run("location.href")

```

There is the example of parsing URL params:

Also you can manipulate current user URL args with this:
