Well, if you want to do post, you have to give an inut stream to the
request. The request will read from that input stream and send it to the
remote server.
Ex:

        request.setMethod("POST");
        string body = java.net.URLEncoder.encode('your post data');
        request.setOutputStream(new StringBufferInputStream(body));

Of course, for i18n purposes, don't use StringBufferInputStream ;)
