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.
