HTTP requests use key=value pairs in the URL strings and post bodies yes. In
this case the key is follow and the value is 777925. For multiple accounts
the value would be 777925,123456.

Using curl this would be sent like this (I use -X POST here because I like
being verbose with my calls):
  curl -u username http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json -d
"follow=777925,123456" -X POST

Hope that helps,
Matt
