Printing get parameters from express middleware

Node.js express middleware is running on parse.com.

For the following request: http://gopaces.com/echo/test123?getParam1=AAA handled by the following code in app.js:

app.get('/echo/:reqParam', function(req, res) {
    console.log("reqParam " + req.params.reqParam);
    console.log("getParam1 " + req.params.getParam1);
});

The following is printed 

E2014-07-30T09:20:41.511Z]v92 Ran custom endpoint with:
  Input:{"method":"GET","url":"/echo/test123?getParam1=AAA","headers":{"accept":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8","accept-encoding":"gzip, deflate","accept-language":"en-us","host":"gopaces.com","user-agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10) AppleWebKit/538.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/538.46","version":"HTTP/1.1","x-forwarded-proto":"http"}}

I2014-07-30T09:20:41.617Z]reqParam test123
I2014-07-30T09:20:41.831Z]getParam1 undefined

Where as I would expect to see

I2014-07-30T09:20:41.617Z]reqParam test123
I2014-07-30T09:20:41.831Z]getParam1 AAA

What am I doing wrong?

Your named parameters relate to the path of the URL, not the query string variables. Your query string variables will not be accessible in the params object, but instead in the req.query object.

console.log("getParam1 " + req.query.getParam1);

http://expressjs.com/3x/api.html#req.query

For reference completeness

For the given request 

curl -X PUT -d 'viaBody=bodyValue' 'http://gopaces.com/echo/parameterValue?viaQuery=queryValue'

This code 

app.put('/echo/:viaParameter', function(req, res) {
    console.log("viaParameter " + req.params.viaParameter);
    console.log("viaQuery " + req.query.viaQuery);
    console.log("viaBody " + req.body.viaBody);
});

Will dump the values

I2014-07-30T11:21:39.336Z]viaQuery queryValue
I2014-07-30T11:21:39.337Z]viaBody bodyValue
I2014-07-30T11:21:39.338Z]viaParameter parameterValue
