HTTP POST works on browser but not socketically

I can post info using a simple html but i cant post using sockets..

[code][

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(hostname);

Socket socket = new Socket(addr, port);

String path = postpath;

BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), "UTF8"));

wr.write("POST "+path+" HTTP/1.0\r\n");

wr.write("Content-Length: "+data.length()+"\r\n");

wr.write("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");

wr.write("\r\n");

wr.write(data);

wr.flush();

BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()))

/code]

it works on my local web server but not on the remote web server. what could be the problem and explanation?
