Hi!

Thanks for the report. The manual is wrong (/very outdated). I've fixed
it in Git d7709c55..2abe788d.  The old method was bad, because you could
not properly handle cases like  http://example.com/?trailer1&trailer2 with
it.

You should use MHD_get_connection_values() instead, that will allow you
to get all 'trailer'-values.

Happy hacking!
