I am trying to pass a link within another in such a way :
http://www.1st_site.com/?u=http://www.2nd_site.com/?parameter1=xyz
I think what the problem is , parameter1=xyz is passed as a parameter for 1st_site
is there anyway to avoid that?

You need to URL-encode the entire URL which is represented as query parameter value, else it will be interpreted as part of the request URL, thus this part:
http://www.2nd_site.com/?parameter1=xyz.It’s unclear what programming language you’re using, but most of decent webbased languages provides functions/methods/classes to achieve this, e.g.
URLEncoderin Java, orc:urlandc:paramin JSP/JSTL,urlencode()in PHP andescape()in JavaScript.Here’s at least an online URL encoder: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/. If you input
http://www.2nd_site.com/?parameter1=xyz, you should gethttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.2nd_site.com%2F%3Fparameter1%3Dxyzback so the request URL should effectively end up in:http://www.1st_site.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.2nd_site.com%2F%3Fparameter1%3Dxyz
