string postData = "userid=ducon";
            postData += "&username=camarche" ;
            byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);
            WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(
                URL);
            req.Method = "POST";
            req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            req.ContentLength = data.Length;
            Stream newStream = req.GetRequestStream();
            newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
            newStream.Close();
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream(), System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1"));
            string coco = reader.ReadToEnd();
