I'm guessing that you're butting up against something in the HTML
specification where the question mark is a special character that
implies that you're asking for a CGI script and feeding it data.

If you're just looking to access the content of the saved pages, why
not approach the problem from the other end and just rename the files
by replacing the question mark?
