Hello Sandeep-

Welcome to JavaRanch.

On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.

As to your question, you can use the java.net.HttpUrlConnection class for this, or -for more convenience and flexibility- the Jakarta Commons HttpClient library.

You could use the Apache Commons HttpClient...

Yes, HttpClient is very powerful. It comes with some examples too.

Or you can do it the simple way:

try {

URL url = new URL("http://www.yourURL.com/login.php");
HttpURLConnection con =(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();


con.setDoInput(true);
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setUseCaches(false);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());

// This is the POST
String content ="email=jad939933@hotmail.com&pass=577383";


printout.writeBytes(content);
printout.flush();
printout.close();





DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream(con.getInputStream());
String str;
//Read the response
while (null != ((str = input.readLine()))) {
System.out.println(str);
}
input.close();


} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

This is described in more details on http://www.gulany.com/?page_id=7
