The main issue I'm not sure about here is the use of ; as a query string initiator (rather than a query string parameter separator). This use of semicolons is completely non-standard, AFAIK, but it looks like there are some web servers that are actually using it this way. Comments at the pull request itself would be most useful (rather than by email).
