title: ionic2 http get fails but other work
body: <p>I do not get why the following URL is not working. I am running a bunch of nearly identical requests successfully but this one is not arriving at the server. Could it be the URL length in ionic2 maxes out?</p>
  
  <pre><code>let requestURL = 'https://myServer/php/setUserPushInfo.php?user=user&amp;PushToken=fc0112d3936f738d9d4c197c50abf80304ab13fca48b19d539ecacf65ce58b34&amp;OS=iOS&amp;other=value';
  this.http.get(requestURL).map(res =&gt; {
          console.log(JSON.stringify(res.json()));
          return res.json();
      },
      err =&gt; {
          console.log('ERROR ' + err);
      }
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>similar requests in my code all the time. Using <code>requestURL</code> in the browser works... ? There are 4 other requests to other <code>php</code> files running concurrently and successfully.</p>
