how to fix that loop?

What I would like to achieve is given an input ( http parameters ) to the tool, send it back to another server but for each http parameter an extra string to the current values

based on @liakoyras help:

......
attributes = ["AAA", "BBBB", "CCCC" ]
inp = input("HTTP parameters:") #aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff
pars = inp.split("&")
for par in pars:
    for attribute in attributes: 
        query = f"{par}({attribute}"
        data = {inp.replace(par, query):"extrastring2)"}
        print(data)
        r = requests.post(url, data=data)
        .....

this is the ( messy ) current results I get, expect the last 3:

{'aa=bb(AAA&cc=dd&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb(AAA&cc=dd&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb(BBBB&cc=dd&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb(BBBB&cc=dd&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb(CCCC&cc=dd&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb(CCCC&cc=dd&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd(AAA&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd(AAA&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd(BBBB&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd(BBBB&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd(CCCC&ee=ff': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd(CCCC&ee=ff=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(AAA': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(AAA=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(BBBB': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(BBBB=extrastring2)

{'aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(CCCC': 'extrastring2)'}
#post request: aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(CCCC=extrastring2)

the last 3 are the perfect results because are valid parameters for the post requests I need to make

So what I wish to obtain is:

aa=bb(AAA=extrastring2)&cc=dd&ee=ff

[..]

aa=bb&cc=dd(AAA=extrastring2)&ee=ff

[..]

aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(AAA=extrastring2)

Is this what you are looking for?:

attributes = ["AAA", "BBBB", "CCCC"]
# inp = input("HTTP parameters:") #aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff
inp = r"aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff"
pars = inp.split("&")
for par in pars:
    for attribute in attributes:
        query = f"{par}({attribute}: extrastring2)"
        data = inp.replace(par, query)
        print(data)
        # r = requests.post(url, data=data)

The output from this was:

aa=bb(AAA: extrastring2)&cc=dd&ee=ff
aa=bb(BBBB: extrastring2)&cc=dd&ee=ff
aa=bb(CCCC: extrastring2)&cc=dd&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd(AAA: extrastring2)&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd(BBBB: extrastring2)&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd(CCCC: extrastring2)&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(AAA: extrastring2)
aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(BBBB: extrastring2)
aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(CCCC: extrastring2)

Your code does not work because it removes the original parameter from the input and then appends the modified one in the end.

You simply need to change calling of replace to inp.replace(par, query) in order to put it in the correct position.

input_params = "aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff"
pars = input_params.split('&')

for par in pars:
    query = par + "(extrastring1" + "=extrastring2)"
    print(input_params.replace(par, query))

This code outputs the expected

aa=bb(extrastring1=extrastring2)&cc=dd&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd(extrastring1=extrastring2)&ee=ff
aa=bb&cc=dd&ee=ff(extrastring1=extrastring2)
