i find this rather confusing or it is a bug:
URI PROTOCOL config setting: QUERY_STRING

but when i do a redirect it still append a /

so a quick dirty solution is appending a “?” in the first redirect parameter.
when redirected “index.php/?blah/blah” appears in the URL

I am not sure to understand your issue.
How do you create your link ?
How did you configure your query string ?
Do you configure your .htaccess file ?

Take a look at the dosc if you did not

[quote author=“Documentation”]Please note: If you are using query strings you will have to build your own URLs, rather than utilizing the URL helpers (and other helpers that generate URLs, like some of the form helpers) as these are designed to work with segment based URLs.

i think i missed this part on the config
$config[‘enable_query_strings’] = FALSE;
it still is false but surprisingly it was working on segment based and query string.

take a look at http://www.estetika-design.com

and thanks for the reply.

ok, you have to set it to true to use query string.

By you were not using query string at all.
‘?’ does not mean that it use query string.

For using query string, you will have to construct you own url with index.php?c=controller&m=method&...
If you want better url, use url rewriting if you host enbale it
