that is what I tried a few month ago but that it nearly impossible with kio 
because there is no proper distinction between two urls that have the same 
path but different queries. Or something like that. In any case, that was not 
possible.

because otherwise kio will interpret the slashes as path separators instead of 
part of the name/query.
