This is my code i hope it helps

public class HttpPostVariables {

public static int PostVariables(String URL, Hashtable variables)

{

PostMethod method;

int statusCode=-1;

try {

method = new PostMethod( URL );

//Loop thru the variables Hashtable and Construct the Parameter of the Post Method

Enumeration enumaration = variables.keys();

int i=1;

while(enumaration.hasMoreElements())

{

String values = (String) enumaration.nextElement();

method.addParameter(values.toString(),variables.get(values).toString());

i++;

}

//method.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", PostMethod.FORM_URL_ENCODED_CONTENT_TYPE);

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

// Execute the POST method

statusCode = client.executeMethod( method );

if( statusCode != -1 ) {

String contents = method.getResponseBodyAsString();

method.releaseConnection();

System.out.println( contents );//to debug

}

}

catch( Exception e )

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

return statusCode;

}//End PostVariables methods

}//HttpPostVariables

and this is how i call it

String turl = "http://192.168.0.7/........../mak.cfm";

String infoMessage = "Bonne ann閑 & ?";

Hashtable vars = new Hashtable();

vars.put("info_Message",infoMessage);

PostVariables(turl, vars);
