AndroidAsync socket.io connection with querystring options

I have been working using socket.io with Android for several days. I'm currently using AndroidAsync from Koush. When I try to connect to the local socket.io ( http://192.168.2.1:3000) server , everything is fine, I can emit commands and receive event messages. But when I try to use it on a real server with query string ( http://api.mysite.com:8000/socket.io/1?v=1&name=xxx&password=xxx) parameters , I cannot connect. Is there a way to pass the query string parameter to AndroidAsync socket.io? Here is my code.

    Uri.Builder b = Uri.parse("http://api.mysite.com:8000/socket.io/1").buildUpon();
    b.appendQueryParameter("v", "1");
    b.appendQueryParameter("name", "xxx");
    b.appendQueryParameter("pass", "xxx");

    myUrl = b.build().toString();

    AsyncHttpClient.getDefaultInstance().getString(myUrl, new AsyncHttpClient.StringCallback() {

            @Override
            public void onCompleted(Exception arg0, AsyncHttpResponse arg1, String arg2) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void onConnect(AsyncHttpResponse response) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.onConnect(response);
                Log.d("tag","onConnect!");
            }

            @Override
            public void onProgress(AsyncHttpResponse response, int downloaded,
                    int total) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.onProgress(response, downloaded, total);
                Log.d("tag","Progress!");
            }


        });

        SocketIOClient.connect(AsyncHttpClient.getDefaultInstance(), myUrl, new ConnectCallback() {

            @Override
            public void onConnectCompleted(Exception arg0, SocketIOClient client) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (client.isConnected()) {
                    Log.d("tag","!");
                } else {
                    Log.d("tag","?");
                }


            }
        });
