Here it is again:

While I'm making minor corrections, I noticed that in htlib/URL.cc and
in ChangeLog, in 3.1.0dev-011799, you mentioned that my patch was to
"Fix looping in query string caused by slashes." It wasn't actually
a looping problem, but rather the patch was to strip off the query
string before trying to determine the parent path to an URL, so that
relative references from a CGI script expand correctly to a fully
qualified URL, without the superfluous junk that was being included
when the query string had slashes in it. I.e. the parent directory
must be determined by the last slash before the query string, and
slashes within the query string are to be ignored.

So, maybe a more appropriate description would be:

        Fix parent path logic to ignore slashes in query string.
