Douglas G Google Maps Geocode api not seeing my HTTP GET Params
Hey all apologies, Im certain thius is something elementary but Ive been going round it for ages now and losing my tiny mind.
Im working on a custom lightning componsnt and need to geocode adresses to put them on a map. I beleive Im correct in thinking that lightning wont let me call the geocoding WS directly from the JS and instead need to do this in apex.
Issue Im having is I cant even get a dead simple request to googles geocode to work correctly, instead as below it returns me an error - Invalid request. Missing the 'address', 'bounds', 'components', 'latlng' or 'place_id' parameter ie not seeing the address param Im setting using req.setHeader('address', addrEncode );. Via Postam or browser this works fine.
Apex Class
And the logs im getting from my multitude of debug statements are: (sorry for it being an image)

req.setEndpoint('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + addrEncode + '&sensor=false&key='+key);clearly req.setHeader('address', addrEncode ); didnt work like I imagined. Oh well!
