+- Also some special arguments (`_anchor`, `_external`, `_scheme`, `_method`, `_server`) passed to `url_for` will have special url building (`_method` is not support now and will be ignored). For example:

+# //server/posts/5?arg_one=one
+# _external requires passed argument _server or SERVER_NAME in app.config or url will be same as no _external

 - All valid parameters must be passed to `url_for` to build a URL. If a parameter is not supplied, or if a parameter does not match the specified type, a `URLBuildError` will be thrown.
