It is actually the server doing this, not the browser.

Both Apache's HTTPD server, and Tomcat, when you send them a URL like 
"http://www.foo.com" will issue a redirect to "http://www.foo.com/".  In 
both cases, this ends up requesting the welcome file -- but the 
interesting thing is *why* this is done.  It's to ensure that relative 
URLs in the welcome file page are resolved correctly to resources in the 
same directory.

FWIW, I'm sure that "http://www.example.com/?user=0123456" is a 
perfectly valid URL.  It just happens to have a zero-length path element.
