You'd find it in the environment variable $PATH_INFO if you check for it.

The most common use of this particular URI structure is to path past your
actual CGI program so that the last thing the -browser- sees is the
filename it -thinks- it should name any incoming file, when you force a
file download on the server end.

What they're doing it for here...anyone's guess.  You want -my- opinion?
Look at your keyboard.  '/' is just '?' without the shift key held down.
Typical fP-Tech docs.  I think they meant it to be a field assignment in
GET syntax, and mis-typed the question mark that would kick off the
QUERY_STRING.
