just one comment there it's not "best practices" to have both work
based on the protocol description the GET (?var=val) should be used to
retrieve data only, and having a first/last where first/last actually
are variables to the same request is kind of overkill unless your
doing some call "REST urls" in which basically the last element in the
path is an action to take. So the "correct" way to do this is with a
POST message in which case you will probably want a form that will
"hide" the data from the URL but still get it there. unless your doing
a read only request in which case a GET is also aceptable.

just one thing remenber the Widget needs "an iterable" so you can in
your controller create a list that will only have first and last names
and send that to the widget. for example.
[('jorge','vargas'),('nevyn','exile')]
