My thinking here is flawed. I thought the browser would have to resolve
the %MY_ENV_VAR%. I don't think it can but it could send a request with
the variable in the URL and hope the server would resolve it. But I
still don't think it would work.

Could you just put the .js file in a special directory and include the
directory name in the URL ?
