This works
URL url = new URL(serverURL);
// open the conncetion
HttpURLConnection connection =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
// Let the run-time system (RTS) know that we want input.
connection.setDoInput(true);
// Let the RTS know that we want to do output
connection.setDoOutput(true);
// No caching, we want the real thing
connection.setUseCaches(false);
// set the content type property
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type",strContenttype);
// set request method
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// create the post body to send
String content = credDevPair.toString();
Log.i("Request ====....... ",content);
DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (
connection.getOutputStream () );
// send the data
printout.writeBytes(content);
printout.flush();
printout.close();
