Bad Request' from TCPObject

I am trying to write all chats to a database on another server. The first write works. However, if the client makes any further chats, they do not write, and I receive a Bad Request from the server.
Here is my connection code:

%query = $AuthServer @ "/VLE/chat.php?nick=" @ $pref::chat::NickName ;
         %chat_query = %query @ "&message=" @ %text;
         
         if($chatCounter !$= "1")   // only create the httpChat object once!
            {
            $ChatConnect = new TCPObject(httpChat) {};
            echo("TCPObject intialized!!!");
            $chatCounter = "1";         
            }
         $ChatConnect.get(%chat_query);

I am using the TCPObject as detailed www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=12262
This works great on the first connect, but everything after that just gets the bad request.

Any ideas? I have been trying to figure this out for days!
