 TL> This is probably my javascript ignorance, but can I ask how you pass a javascript variable to a url
 TL> variable? I tried setting it to a complete string that displays correctly, but I get a 400 error
 TL> response from the server. 

You can pass in a string, whether it be a variable or a string literal, eg:

 req.Get('https://some.web.site/'); // literal
 var url = 'https://some.web.site/');
 req.Get(url); // variable

 TL> var res = req.Get(fullFormedURLThatWorksCopyPaste);

Depends on what fullFormedURLThatWorksCopyPaste is.

 TL> I also tried this -

 TL> var res = req.Get('http:///some.web.site/page?variable1=' + variable1);

As long as variable1 is a string (or a type that will become a string as needed, but that's a whole other topic). And remove that extra slash near the beginning.

 req.Get('http://some.web.site/page?variable1=' + 'some_string');
 var param = 'some_string';
 req.Get('http://some.web.site/page?variable1=' + param);
 var url = 'http://some.web.site/page?variable1=';
 req.Get(url + param);

and so on.
