If you're committed to writing a Processor, you can perhaps use
ProducerTemplate, which lets you send an Exchange to a String URI.

public class FooSearch implements Processor
  {
  ProducerTemplate producer;

  public FooSearch(CamelContext context)
    { producer = context.createProducerTemplate(); }

  public void process(Exchange exchange)
    {
    String startdate = <compute start date>;
    String enddate = <compute end date>;

    producer.send("http://www.foo.com/search?startdate=";
      + startdate
      + "&enddate="
      + enddate,
      exchange);
    }
  }
