Nested Calls

[Fairlight]

How does it know how to handle the case of a URL which appears in a
question, in the form of https://somehost.com/something/like/this?

In the above case, you have a question mark, and that could be the start of
a QUERY_STRING, or it could be simply a question mark at the end of the
sentence.  The presence or absence will be detectable in $REQUEST_URI, so
this can actually matter if someone's checking for it.  

(One -could- argue that the server-side code -should- check for a non-empty
$QUERY_STRING if there's a question mark in $REQUEST_URI, but you have no
way to guarantee the host-side behaviour.
