Your impression is correct.

What happens? What are your experiments.

The parameter passing is an essential task of ZPubllisher,
more precisely its "mapply" function. It works very reliable.

Probably, your experiments are slightly wrong.

Submitting a form with method="GET" (the default) is equivalent
to a "URL?c1=v1&c2=v2&...".

You may want to look either at "REQUEST" (display it in the target
(action) page) or in "var/Z2.log" (the ZServer Log file).
Experiment with "method=GET" (until everything works as expected)
because,then, you see the parameters in the ZServer log file.
