module FsExtensions =

    type NameValueCollection with
        // Converts the collection to a URL-formatted query string (the part after the question mark).
        member this.ToUrlString() =
let encode = HttpUtility.UrlEncode
// a key can have multiple values, so flatten this out, repeating the key if necessary
let getValues (key:string) =
    let kEnc = (encode key) + "="
    this.GetValues(key)
    |> Seq.map (fun v -> kEnc + (encode v))

let pairs = this.AllKeys |> Seq.collect getValues
