Hi

I cant find any reference in the Java documentation to the mechanism I need
to use to open a 'POST' style URLConnection to a web server and pass
parameters as if they were coming from a web form.

I currently do the following:

URL myURL = new URL( "..." );
HttpURLConnection myHttp = (HttpURLConnection) myURL.openConnection();
myHttp.setRequestMethod("POST")
myHttp.setRequestProperty("myParameter","myValue")
myHttp.connect();
InputStream myStream = myHttp.getInputStream();

I can confirm that this does to a http hit on my web server, and it is a
POST and not a GET, but I do not get any parameters set when I look at them
in the webserver. Calling the webserver from a webpage works fine.

I'm currently using jbuilder3 and jdk1.2.

Anyone know how to do this? Is setRequestProperty a red herring? How do I
pass these parameters?

Thanks in advance
