in this case you might want to try the attached patch. It introduces two 
levels to /proc/sys/net/tux/ignore_query:

	value 0: current, unchanged behavior

	value 1: treat '?' as part of the filename

	value 2: ignore the '?' and all characters up to the next 
		 whitespace

ie. with a value of '1', http://server/name?query will be looked up under
docroot, as the literal filename 'name?query'. With value 2, the query is 
ignored and only 'name' is looked up (and returned as a static page).

does this get you closer to a solution?
