Http.Request with query param laden url doesn't seem to send

I'm trying to send out a Http.Request (GET) with a url attached with query params.

I'm able to hit the server with the following (confirm by logs and a 502 response)

Http.Request request = Http.Request("example-api.com");
request.method = Http.Method.Get;
Http.Response response = request.sendAndWait();

However, when trying with the following

Http.Request request = Http.Request("example-api.com?param1=123");
request.method = Http.Method.Get;
Http.Response response = request.sendAndWait();
print(response.value);
print(response.statusCode);

The output console displays

(empty line here, code formatter deletes it if I leave it as empty line)
0

With logs on the server end showing the call didn't go through

Any ideas here?

The Http.Request() constructor that takes a URL doesn't parse out parameters. It only takes the protocol, host, port, and reference path. See FlexScript Class - Http.Request (flexsim.com)

Put the parameters into the data property. FlexScript Class - Http.Request (flexsim.com)

I'll add a case to the dev list to consider parsing the parameter data out of the URL in that constructor.

hi Phil, thanks for the reply. Even if it does not parse out the params, will the request be sent as is, or will it just fail to send the request?

Since you didn't specify a port or a path, that whole thing is being used as the host. "example-api.com?param1=123" instead of "example-api.com".
