Java - sending HTTP parameters via POST method easily

Question

I am successfully using this code to send HTTP requests with some parameters via GET method

void sendRequest(String request)
{

I higly recomend http-request built on apache http api.

For your case you can see example:

private static final HttpRequest HTTP_REQUEST = 
      HttpRequestBuilder.createPost("http://example.com/index.php", String.class)
           .responseDeserializer(ResponseDeserializer.ignorableDeserializer())
           .build();

public void sendRequest(String request){
     String parameters = request.split("\\?")[1];
     ResponseHandler responseHandler = 
            HTTP_REQUEST.executeWithQuery(parameters);

   System.out.println(responseHandler.getStatusCode());
   System.out.println(responseHandler.get()); //prints response body
}

If you are not interested in the response body

private static final HttpRequest HTTP_REQUEST = 
     HttpRequestBuilder.createPost("http://example.com/index.php").build();

public void sendRequest(String request){
     ResponseHandler responseHandler = 
           HTTP_REQUEST.executeWithQuery(parameters);
}

For general sending post request with http-request: Read the documentation and see my answers HTTP POST request with JSON String in JAVA, Sending HTTP POST Request In Java, HTTP POST using JSON in Java
