让浏览器忽略 URL 中间的特定字符串的方法？

Question

I have a very narrow, specific case where an application takes a URL and appends the name of a specific server to the end of it from a variable passed to it, but it does it as host:servername001 . The problem is that the URL doesn't work if host: is there. Is there a string I can add to the URL prior to the variable that will tell it to ignore the next 5 characters (eg, the host: ) and then use the resulting URL?

The URL it would pass is like:

https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name=$host.name

Which results in an actual URL output of:

https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name=host:servername001

I am looking for a way that I can have it ignore the 5 characters (host:) before the servername. I can control the URL string, but not the $host.name variable.

Thoughts or suggestions?

EDIT for clarification:

I'm passing a URL and a variable to an output. This is all in a 3rd party app that I don't have a lot of control over. I can edit the URL. Right now, it's:

https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name=

I need to append the servername from the variable at the end of that URL. The only one I can use for that is

$host.name

Which adds "host:" right before the server name in the resulting URL. I need to know if there is something I can add to the URL string above, that would tell a browser to ignore "the next 5 characters" so the result is just that the URL looks like this:

https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name=servername001

Instead of like this:

https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name=host:servername001

Hope that makes sense...

Here is a code snipped to append the host name without the host: prefix:

 var url = "https://website1/path/server.do?sysparm_query=name="; var $host = { name: 'host:servername001' }; var newUrl = url + $host.name.replace(/^[^:]*:/, ''); console.log('- url: ' + url); console.log('- newUrl: ' + newUrl);
