Section 5.1.2 defines a Request-URI as:
Request-URI = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority
where it gets abs_path by reference to RFC 2396; however, the abs_path in RFC 2396 doesn't include a possible query part:
hier_part = ( net_path | abs_path ) [ "?" query ] net_path = "//" authority [ abs_path ] abs_path = "/" path_segments
The definition of Request-URI should be:
Request-URI = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path [ "?" query ] | authority
Fixed in [76]
