It is not supposed to ignore them -- it is supposed to convert them to absolute
and then add the path parameter if:
- The host and port of the absolute URL
matches the original request
- The context path of the absolute URL
matches the original request
(i.e. the URL points back at this app)
I will take a look - but in the past, this has seemed to work correctly.
