cy.wait() does not resolve when the XHR contains static resource-like text in the XHR's query params or hash (like `.js`, `.html`, `.css`)

Current behavior:

Discovered this while trying to test for ad requests for my employer. When a URL with file extension, like .html, and a question mark (for a query string parameter) is visited, the request that is listened for is no longer detected. Remove the question mark, and the request is detected.

Desired behavior:

Before promoting a build in production, we test the build using a query-string parameter, so the wish is for this to work when a query-string parameter is present in the visited URL.

Test code to reproduce

describe("Oregon Live Ads", () => {
  it("test cy.route()", () => {
    cy.viewport(1500, 1024);

    Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', () => {
      return false;
    });

    cy.server();

    cy.route({
      url: /gampad\/ads\?/,
    }).as("waitForAd");

    cy.visit(
      "https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/12/vaping-related-lung-illness-epidemic-has-likely-peaked-feds-say.html"
      , {qs: {answer: "42"}}  // When this is commented out, the test passes.
    );

    cy.wait("@waitForAd").then((req) => {
      expect(true).to.equal(true);
    });
  });
});

@jennifer-shehane - yes, this also fails when a question mark, alone, is at the end of the visited URL with a file extension.
