As Alex said, the purpose of setParameters() is to add them to the URL.
There have been a few attempts ("hacks" is probably a better term) in the
past few years, to allow various options for sending "parameters" in GET or
POST requests, in manners more appropriate to the specific request. An early
attempt at that was with the no-url-params-on-post property. A provision
added later, and probably a better option for your needs, is the
setFormFields() method which puts your "parameters" into the body of a POST
message, although it puts them in an embedded form IIRC. As long as that
embedded form is acceptable to you at the backend, it's probably the easiest
way to accomplish what you're looking for.

As previously stated, you can use the setFormFields() method which
internally calls setData(). If setFormFields()'s embedded form won't work
for you, you can manually provide any data you like with setData().
