hello, i’ve been struggling with this for some time now-  
basically i have an array full of url’s with query strings (page.html?var1=hi)

I’m doing a getURL(array[0]); and the result i get is just the page.html without the query string. it basically seems to be ignoring everything starting from the ?. I tried to url encode the ? without any luck. any suggestions? much thanks in advance.
