Thank you very much for your replies!
Bart:
1- Yes that is correct.
2- I read this and felt really stupid for not trying. Unfortunately/fortunately I can not get any of the API URLs work in node red. The other API URLs do work in the laptop's browser though.
3- The test browser and node red are both running on my laptop and the android that needs to talk is across the room (wifi).
4- Unfortunately Im not familiar with curl (or really much of any other programming). I tried studying up last night but didnt get very far.
5- I dont get any errors that I can see. It connects to the tablet. I get a status code 200 and I get the html back from the tablet. Just no TTS.
Steve:
Thank you. That is what I thought and I'm glad I'm not too far off base. I'm sure it is maybe a formatting error or something simple but I think I have tried every combination off every option in the flow below. No luck.

Here is my debug results. 1 thing I just noticed is that the password does not seem to matter. I mistyped it and I get the same results in the debug screen. That makes me think the data in the URL is not getting processed so Im probably not sending it correctly.
