That is IE's interpretation of what a URI is. There is a difference between a URI and and URL. I'm not going to get this started into a heated debate here but our interpretation of the breakdown of a URL is the following:

 

 

protocol://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri][HTTP::query]

 

 

(I can't remember if the HTTP::query contains the question mark or not, I'll have to check that one out.

 

 

So for

 

 

http://www.foo.com/somepath/somefile.ext?foo=bar

 

 

HTTP::host - www.foo.bar

 

HTTP::uri - /somepath/somefile.ext

 

HTTP::query - foo=bar (maybe with the beginning question mark).

 

 

Hope this clears things up.
