Unable to do access GAE server running on computer from Android device

[user2781902 via StackOverflow]

I'm trying out my first GAE server and Android connection. I'm running a GAE server through Android ADT on my computer(192.168.1.24). My Android device is connected in developer mode through USB. I'm trying to make a HTTP Request from the device and store the response. But I get the below error.

The statement that initiates the http request from Android device is below.

String alias=UserAuth.doAuth(username, password);

The UserAuth.doAuth() is as below

 public static String doAuth(String username,String password) {
    // CONSTRUCT GET REQUEST URL
    String url = "192.168.1.24/myserver?username=qwerty&password=qwerty"
    // XML RESPONSE AS A STRING GETS RETURNED
    String response = GetMethods.doGetWithResponse(URL_BASE, httpClient);

    return response;
}

The GetMethods.doGetWithResponse() is as below

public static String doGetWithResponse(String mUrl,DefaultHttpClient httpClient){
    String ret=null;
    HttpResponse response=null;
    //initiate get method with username and password
    HttpGet getMethod=new HttpGet(mUrl);
    try{
        //use http client to execute method
        response=httpClient.execute(getMethod);
        if(response!=null){
            //convert http response to string
            ret=getResponseBody(response);
        }
    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return ret;
}

Please give any pointers towards the solution.

The exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in scheme at index 0: 192.168.1.24:8889/myserver?username=qwerty&password=qwerty seems to indicate that a problem could be addressed by trying out the following:

• prefix your URL string with http:// and see if that works.
• prefix your URL string with http:// and also encode the URL correctly.
