Sending Parameters to URL or web service in POST Method

Below code snippet explains how to send parameters to a web url in the POST method.
                               
URL url = new URL(“http://testulr/searchuser”);
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConnection.setRequestMethod(“POST”);
urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
String params=”userid=”+userid+”&username=”+name;
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(urlConnection.getOutputStream());
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out));
writer.write(params);
writer.flush();
out.close();
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
StringBuilder st = new StringBuilder();
String line = "";
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                st.append(line);
}
System.out.println("Result: "+st);
urlConnection.disconnect();
  
If the url is secured then replace HttpURLConnection class with HttpsURLConnection in the above code.
