No, I'm not talking about parameters before the "?". I'm talking about
the possibility that the  base-url contains parameters, but after "?".

For example a base-url like:

http://myserver.com/my-cgi/mysrw.pl?database=abc&

The  client can stick the request after the base-url without having to
know  that "database=abc" is a parameter. This implies that the "?" is
part of the base-url and should not be added again.

Yep. We want parameters after ?. Just like forms/CGI has worked for
the
last 10 years.
