HTTP kernel variables are not persistent

[jonsequitur]

A variable declared in one cell cannot be used in another.

@shyamnamboodiripad how is variable declaration and sharing working in polyglot notebooks for the http kernel?

I ran into this problem today and thought I would share the workaround for it. You can use the #!set magic command to set the variable and it will then be available to later cells.
