(See the best response by Blastcore.)
Code:
        Communicate(procedure, msg, args)
        {
            world.Export("byond://[ip]:[port]?encryption:[encryption]&procedure:[procedure]&msg:[msg]&args:[args]")
        }
        
        OOC(msg, args)
        {
            Communicate("/world/proc/OOC", msg, args)
        }
        
world
    Topic(encryption, msg as text, args)
        if(encryption != md5("xxx")) { return } else { call(world,text2path(msg))(args) }
        
    proc
        OOC(msg, args)
        {
            world << "[msg]:[args]"
        }


Problem description:

Basically im trying to send messages from one server to the other and calling procedures...so far i can't really get it to work any help would be nice

encryption:[encryption]&procedure:[procedure]&msg:[msg]&args :[args]

The proper way to parse the values is to use = instead of : in a the GET procedure.

world.Export("byond://[ip]:[port]?encryption=[encryption]&procedure=[procedure]&msg=[msg]&args=[args]")

You can just save that stuff in a list and then do world.Export("byond://[ip]:[port]?[list2params(MyList)]")

And on world/Topic(T) you would do params2list()

For example:

var/list/MyList = list("Test1" = "Hello!")
world.Export("127.0.0.1:1000?[list2params(MyList)]")

world/Topic(T)
    var/list/MyList = params2list(T)
    if(MyList["Test1"] == "Hello!")
        return "Hello"

thanks i got it working :)

        Communicate(procedure, argument)
        {
            var/list/data = list()
            data.Add(encryption)
            data.Add(procedure)
            data.Add(argument)
            world.Export("byond://[ip]:[port]?[list2params(data)]")
        }
        
        OOC(msg)
        {
            Communicate("/world/proc/OOC", msg)
        }
        
world
    Topic(T)
        var/list/data = params2list(T)
        if(data[1] != encryption)
        {
            return
        }
        else
        {
            call(text2path(data[2]))(data[3])
        }
