In SWIFT 3.0, You need to use

 if let cleanURLString = urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed),
    let theURL: Foundation.URL = Foundation.URL(string: cleanURLString) {

    var task:URLSessionDataTask?
    let urlconfig = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    urlconfig.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 20
    urlconfig.timeoutIntervalForResource = 60
    let session = Foundation.URLSession(configuration: urlconfig, delegate: self, delegateQueue: OperationQueue.main)

    let request = URLRequest(url: theURL)
    request.httpMethod = "POST"
    request.cachePolicy = URLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData
    request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    let paramString = YourParameterString
    request.httpBody = paramString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)

    task = session.dataTask(with: request) {
        (data, response, error) in
        // Do here
    })
    dataTask.resume()
}
