The slash is the beginning of the file portion of the request, in
this case it's asking for the web root default which is usually
index.html but can be specified through server configuration.
The '?' signals the beginning of the GET parameter list, which is
empty in this case. If you do a google search you should see a more
complete list of GET parameters in the url:
http://www.google.com/search?q=what+does+%27%3F%27
+mean&sourceid=mozilla-search
the '?' signals the beginning of 'name=value' pairs which are
separated by the '&' symbol. The '%27' types of things are encoded
special characters. The ? is %3F and the ' is %27. Since these are
special symbols in the URL they have to be translated into these codes.

Hi all
I came across a link where there was just a ? at the end of the link.
e.g.
http://www.gmx.net/?
Is there a particular reason or purpose for this.
Just something I was wondering.
Kind Regards
Brent Clark
