Description
If you put a query string on the end of a URL that doesn't handle queries, the databrowser displays the query string as if it were a container. For example https://jeffzucker.inrupt.net/public/?foobar shows a folder named "?foobar" with the contents of the /public/ folder. In some cases there is infinite recursion of the non-existent folder, for example https://timbl.solid.community/public/?foobar.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Data Browser using the two example URLs with ?foobar and observe how the query string is rendered and whether recursion occurs. Trace the URI handling from the browser entry point; done means query strings are not displayed as containers and do not cause infinite recursion.
