[TYPO3-english] Can CoolURI disable random URLs?

Hello,

someone seems to be linking to a site of mine (T3 4.4.x with CoolURI
1.0.20) in the following way:

<http://www.example.com/?randomL=89>,

which makes the server deliver this resource:
 
<http://www.example.com/index.html?randomL=89>.

The correct address, as shown in the HTML head section by <link
rel="canonical" href="..." />

of course would be 

<http://www.example.com/some.html>.

Another example:
 
<http://www.example.com/zh/?randomL=89> 

leads to the "funny" address

<http://www.example.com/zh/index?randomL=89.html>

shown by the browser. This works with whatever nonsense you call for
behind a questionmark, like  

<http://www.example.com/?skriptkiddie>.

Googles webmaster tools reports every single of such requests as a
crawling problem. Above that, it can be rated as "duplicate content",
because (in spite of the canonical URI named in the head) the file is
accessible via several URIs, which shouldn't be. 

Is there a way to stop that, possibly via CoolURI, and to redirect such
requests to the 404 response?

Thanks for any hints.
