How does the HTTP params Hash work?

I am working on a Rails engine. When I go from a Main Application route to an Engine route, I think I lose a HTTP param, which I need for a db query.

My questions are,

1) When and how is the HTTP params Hash modified?

2) Is it possible that switching between a application route and engine route effects the params Hash?

AFAIK that all happens here in the Rails/Rack middleware stack.

The middleware that parses the user's data into the params hash is: ActionDispatch::ParamsParser

At least as I understand it.

Sorry, I've not yet created a Rails engine so I don't know the answer to this part.
