POST request using HttpUrlConnection

[turk]

Hello everyone,

I had been trying to send POST requests over the network. Unfortunately I wasn't very successful. I'm working on a Java Applet to post on a given forum from my application, without having to open the browser

The request was sent properly and the server returns me 200 code and the HTML of the website but it doesn't "post" anything.
More exactly it returns the "posting" page and not the code from the "posted" page.

Thank you for your time.

Here is my code:

String agent = "Mozilla/4.0";
		String rawData = "name=joe&subject=guessme&text=hum";
		String type = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
		URL url = new URL("http://www.mywebsite.com/posting.php");
		HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
		
		String encodedData = URLEncoder.encode(rawData, "UTF-8"); // user-supplied

		try {
			urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
			urlConnection.setUseCaches(false);
			urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
			urlConnection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
			urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
			urlConnection.setRequestProperty( "User-Agent", agent );
			urlConnection.setRequestProperty( "Content-Type", type );
			urlConnection.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", Integer.toString(encodedData.length()) );

			OutputStream os = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
			os.write(encodedData.getBytes());
	    
	    		int rc = urlConnection.getResponseCode();
	    		System.out.println(rc); // Always 200
	    		
	    		BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
	    				   new InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
	    				String line = null;
	    				while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
	    				{
	    				   System.out.println(line);
	    				}
		}
		catch( IOException e ){
			// handle the error here
		}

Is this post the same as this one: POST request using HttpUrlConnection

Why post it again?

After clicking the posting button it was taking a lot of time (my connection sucks). So I left the computer and when I came back it was still loading and I refreshed the page. Sorry for that, I tried to remove it myself but I couldn't find that option. If you could remove it for me would be great.
