Description

### Expected Behavior

Adding an endpoint with different query parameters should work like a new route with new response.
Example :
/testqueryparams/?param=value1
/testqueryparams/?param=value2
/testqueryparams/?param=value3

https://mock-bd96858b411549428dc6830faafc8124.mock.insomnia.run/testqueryparams/?param=value3

### Actual Behavior

All the three routes as listed above are returning the same response when hit from a browser/postman.
While from inside insomnia, they give different responses.

### Reproduction Steps

1. Create a new mock server
2. Make 3 GET routes with different query parameters and different responses.
3. "Test" it inside insomnia - you will get the correct responses.
4. Make the same requests via browser - you will get the same response across all the three routes (I have seen that its the response which is last "tested" inside the insomnia app)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the three listed mock URLs from a browser or Postman and compare them with the same requests sent inside Insomnia. Trace the mock server's route matching and query-parameter handling from those requests. Done means external requests with different query values return their corresponding configured responses.
