_x000D_ If you don't mind using an HttpURLConnection instead of the (recommended) HttpClient then you could do it this way: public void performPost(String encodedData) { HttpURLConnection urlc = null; OutputStreamWriter out = null; DataOutputStream dataout = null; BufferedReader in = null; try { URL url = new URL(URL_LOGIN_SUBMIT); urlc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); urlc.setRequestMethod("POST"); urlc.setDoOutput(true); urlc.setDoInput(true); urlc.setUseCaches(false); urlc.setAllowUserInteraction(false); urlc.setRequestProperty(HEADER_USER_AGENT, HEADER_USER_AGENT_VALUE); urlc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); dataout = new DataOutputStream(urlc.getOutputStream()); // perform POST operation dataout.writeBytes(encodedData); int responseCode = urlc.getResponseCode(); in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream()),8096); String response; // write html to System.out for debug while ((response = in.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(response); } in.close(); } catch (ProtocolException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { if (out != null) { try { out.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if (in != null) { try { in.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } }
