The following errata report has been submitted for RFC2616,
"Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=2616&eid=3056

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Julien Moutinho <julm+rfc@autogeree.net>

Section: 5.1.2

Original Text
-------------
Request-URI    = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path | authority

Corrected Text
--------------
Request-URI    = "*" | absoluteURI | abs_path [ "?" query ] | authority


Notes
-----
so that "/path?query" is a valid Request-URI as it should.

because it is not the case with RFC 3986
(obsoleting RFC 2396 which has the same problem actually):

absoluteURI   = absolute-URI
abs_path      = path-absolute

absolute-URI  = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]
path-absolute = "/" [ segment-nz *( "/" segment ) ]
segment-nz    = 1*pchar
segment       = *pchar
pchar         = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@"
unreserved    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
pct-encoded   = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG
sub-delims    = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," /
";" / "="
