				URL siteUrl = new URL(url);
				HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) siteUrl.openConnection();
				conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
				conn.setDoOutput(true);
				conn.setDoInput(true);
 
				DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
 
				Set keys = data.keySet();
				Iterator keyIter = keys.iterator();
				String content = "";
				for(int i=0; keyIter.hasNext(); i++) {
					Object key = keyIter.next();
					if(i!=0) {
						content += "&";
					}
					content += key + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(data.get(key), "UTF-8");

Someone can help me? thanks.

doesnt work

Can you explain what happens? Do you get error messages? Or bad results? Can you post what you get back or explain what happens?

Have you looked what the HTML page that the browser returns to the server so that you can generate the same response as the browser does?

What happens when you attempt to login?

Without knowing the URL and having some valid login details, it's almost impossible for us to pinpoint the problem.

You say you have written other programs which have worked in the past. If this is the case, what's the difference between this one and the working one?

i thought that posting on diferent forum , one of them willgave me the answer and i could post it on the othe

I highly recommend the reading the links in Norm's post. You might get an answer with one of the forums you posted to, but there is potential to waste a lot of other people's time who spend time trying to help you with your problem where it could be answered elsewhere. Your problem may not be solved at this point, but without full disclosure of other locations you've posted the contributors to the forum have no idea and may very well move on to one of the other dozens of unsolved posts.
