 +===== Notes =====
 +
 +A [[:​cfgtype:​string]] setting can contain spaces and other "​special"​ characters that can cause problems during URI parsing. ​ You can avoid these potential problems by requesting expansion as a [[:​cfgtype:​uristring]] setting. ​ For example, if you want to pass the SMBIOS ''​[[:​cfg:​product]]''​ name to a boot script running on a web server, you could use
 +
 +    chain http://​boot.ipxe.org/​demo/​boot.php?​product=${product:​uristring}
 +
 +This will ensure that any "​special"​ characters are URI-encoded as necessary. ​ For example, if the SMBIOS product name is "​PowerEdge R210", then the above command will expand to
 +
 +    chain http://​boot.ipxe.org/​demo/​boot.php?​product=PowerEdge%20R210
