I've had various problems with HttpURLConnection not doing POST
properly. Can't remember the version of the API though... it may have
been cleaned up.
In general I find these classes (the URLStreamHandlers and
URLConnection classes) very poorly implemented. For example, my Sun
Java2 FileURLConnection returns an HTML page of the contents of a
directory when one does: getInputStream(). I'm not sure what it
should return but an HTML page seems pretty stupid.
I'm going to produce a set of Handlers and URLConnection classes that
fix some of the implementation problems with these classes as part of
the Paperclips project. I'll donate them to the GNU-Classpath project
but I'm planning that they should work with any VM and lib
implementation.
