Question about posting to https
Hey guys,
I'm trying to do a program that'll post to an https site with some parameters such as username and password using a post action. I have read a bunch of code out there and sort of hacked together something simple I thought would work but I'm definitely doing something wrong. Could anybody tell me if there is something obvious I'm missing with how to get a succesful post action to an https link with parameters on the end via using java code? Right now it compiles perfectly, will run with no errors but I can tell it isn't posting properly to the website so I'm probably missing many somethings that make this not work.
Thanks!
Josh
