    Basically, if I go to hxxps://www.example.com/questions/3456/my-document?key1=value1&key2=value2

    Anyone in your network path (MitM attacker, your ISP, your VPN provider) will see DNS request/responses and know you went to www[.]example[.]com
    If you use a DoH provider, they instead will know you went to www[.]example[.]com

    But only the example.com web server is going to see the "/questions/3456/my-document?key1=value1&key2=value2" information.

    A text without a context is a pretext.
