I found this truly helpful tip :D
http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip34.html?page=1
From the site:
URL url;
URLConnection urlConn;
DataOutputStream printout;
DataInputStream input;
// URL of CGI-Bin script.
url = new URL (getCodeBase().toString() + "env.tcgi");
// URL connection channel.
urlConn = url.openConnection();
// Let the run-time system (RTS) know that we want input.
urlConn.setDoInput (true);
// Let the RTS know that we want to do output.
urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
// No caching, we want the real thing.
urlConn.setUseCaches (false);
// Specify the content type.
urlConn.setRequestProperty
("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
// Send POST output.
printout = new DataOutputStream (urlConn.getOutputStream ());
String content =
"name=" + URLEncoder.encode ("Buford Early") +
"&email=" + URLEncoder.encode ("buford@known-space.com");
printout.writeBytes (content);
printout.flush ();
printout.close ();
// Get response data.
input = new DataInputStream (urlConn.getInputStream ());
String str;
while (null != ((str = input.readLine())))
{
System.out.println (str);
textArea.appendText (str + "\n");
}
input.close ();
Thanks to the person who posted this :D
