Does it?  This works for me:

irb(main):001:0> require 'uri'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> u=URI.parse('foo.bar/baz?x=2')
=> #<URI::Generic:0x3ffa0eda URL:foo.bar/baz?x=2>
irb(main):003:0> u.query
=> "x=2"
irb(main):004:0> u=URI.parse('baz?x=2')
=> #<URI::Generic:0x3ff9f15c URL:baz?x=2>
irb(main):005:0> u.query
=> "x=2"

Cheers
