Blackberry HttpConnection and query string - rest

Question

I've been having some trouble connecting to a uri when I append a query string... I always get back 400 http code... however when I try the browser, same url, everything goes smooth...
This is what I have:
String query = "q=hello";
byte[] queryBytes = query.getBytes();
Somewhere in my code I open an HttpConnection using the queryBytes like this:
String uri = "https://www.google.co.ve/search" + "?" + new String(queryBytes);
HttpConnection request = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(uri);
request.getResponseCode();
If I don't use bytes for my connection everyting works fine:
String uri = "https://www.google.co.ve/search?q=hello";
Thanks in advance

When i try this, iam getting http code 200.
try {
String httpURL = "https://www.google.co.ve/search?q=hello";
HttpConnection httpConn;
httpConn = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(httpURL);
httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
DataOutputStream _outStream = new DataOutputStream(httpConn.openDataOutputStream());
byte[] request_body = httpURL.getBytes();
for (int i = 0; i < request_body.length; i++) {
_outStream.writeByte(request_body[i]);
}
DataInputStream _inputStream = new DataInputStream(
httpConn.openInputStream());
StringBuffer _responseMessage = new StringBuffer();
int ch;
while ((ch = _inputStream.read()) != -1) {
_responseMessage.append((char) ch);
}
String res = (_responseMessage.toString());
String responce = res.trim();
httpConn.close();
Dialog.alert(responce);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
