To debug HTTP issues, your best bet is to get the Charles HTTP proxy app - it will record all HTTP communication to and from a server, through the simulator (and you can even set it as a proxy for the phone if you need to).

Then, use the program Curl (from Terminal, it is built in) to generate a working post request (you'll have to search online for examples of using CURL). Then you simply compare how a working request from CURL is formatted, to what your application is sending... note that the simulator is automatically re-directed to work through Charles, you have to tell curl the proxy address to use to have things sent through Charles.
