+# Investigation Notes: PR #1217 Review Comments
+
+## Task
+Address review comments from https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/equinox/pull/1217#pullrequestreview-3575713467
+
+## Repository Memory Context
+Review comment: "Tests for bundle URLs should verify both URL parsing AND openConnection + reading content to ensure full functionality."
+
+## Current Status of PR #1217
+
+### Tests in BundleURLConnectionTest.java
+- Lines 110-178: Tests that ONLY verify URL parsing (getQuery(), getPath(), getRef())
+- Lines 180-225: Tests that verify BOTH parsing AND openConnection + content reading
+
+### Core Problem Discovered
+**All tests related to query parameter parsing are FAILING**, including those in the original PR #1217.
+
+When running tests on the PR branch:
+```
+Tests run: 14, Failures: 8, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
+```
+
+All failures are: `Query parameter should be preserved expected:<param=value> but was:<null>`
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+The query parameter parsing implementation in `BundleResourceHandler.parseURL()` does not work correctly. The issue appears to be related to how Java's URL class calls custom protocol handlers:
+
+1. When `new URL("bundleentry://1.fwk123/path?query=value")` is called
+2. Java's URL class parses the protocol and finds the registered handler  
+3. The handler's `parseURL(URL url, String str, int start, int end)` method is called
+4. The `spec` extracted from `str.substring(start, end)` should contain the query string
+5. However, the query is not being properly extracted and set via `setURL()`
+
+### Attempts to Fix
+I tried multiple approaches to fix the parsing:
+1. Parsing from `url.getQuery()` - returns null
+2. Parsing from the `spec` string - doesn't find the '?' character
+3. Parsing from the original `str` parameter - still doesn't work
+4. Combination of all approaches - still fails
+
+The complexity of the OSGi URL handling system (PlurlStreamHandler, PlurlSetter, etc.) makes it difficult to debug without access to runtime debugging tools.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+The review comment asks for tests to verify both parsing AND openConnection. However:
+
+1. **The underlying feature doesn't work** - query parameters are not being parsed at all
+2. Adding openConnection verification to tests that already fail parsing verification doesn't add value
+3. The parsing bug needs to be fixed FIRST before the review comment can be properly addressed
+
+### Suggested Actions
+1. Fix the query/fragment parsing implementation in `BundleResourceHandler.parseURL()`
+2. Ensure all existing tests pass (lines 110-178)  
+3. THEN add openConnection verification to those tests (as the review requests)
+4. Verify the two tests that already have openConnection (lines 180-225) also pass
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### BundleResourceHandler.parseURL() (lines 100-118)
+The code attempts to extract query and fragment from the spec:
+```java
+String query = url.getQuery();  // Returns null for new URLs
+String ref = url.getRef();       // Returns null for new URLs
+int queryIdx = spec.indexOf('?', pathIdx);  // Should find '?' but doesn't?
+int fragmentIdx = spec.indexOf('#', pathIdx);
+```
+
+The extraction logic seems correct in theory, but in practice the query remains null after `setURL()` is called.
+
+### Potential Issues
+- The `spec` parameter might not include the query/fragment portion
+- The `PlurlSetter` mechanism might not be properly setting values
+- Java's URL class might pre-parse custom protocol URLs differently than expected
+- There may be missing configuration or registration of the handler
+
+## Files Modified in This Investigation
+- `bundles/org.eclipse.osgi/container/src/org/eclipse/osgi/storage/url/BundleResourceHandler.java` (attempted fixes, all reverted)
+- `bundles/org.eclipse.osgi.tests/src/org/eclipse/osgi/tests/url/BundleURLConnectionTest.java` (added openConnection tests, reverted)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+To properly address the review comments, the query parsing bug must be fixed first. Without a working implementation, adding openConnection tests only creates more failing tests without providing additional value.
+
+The PR #1217 needs significant debugging and potentially redesign of the query parameter parsing logic before it can be merged.
