Create an URLConectionHandler. Set doOutput to true and setMethod to POST. Get
the output stream and write some bytes to the output stream. The bytes are
written and the content length header is set, however the header is misspelled.
According to the HTTP RFC (2616) Content-Length is capatilised as shown, from
the 1.4 HTTPUrlConnection it is spelt as Content-length (note the lowercase 'l')

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class TestCL implements Runnable
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        Thread t = new Thread(new TestCL());
        t.start();
        URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8888");
                           
        HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        con.setRequestMethod("POST");
        con.setDoOutput(true);
        con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded");
        
        // serialize to server
        String outputData = "email=" +
            URLEncoder.encode("###@###.###") +
            "&name=" +
            URLEncoder.encode("fred")
            +"&phone=" +
            URLEncoder.encode("555-1234");
        
        OutputStream os = con.getOutputStream();
        os.write(outputData.getBytes());
        os.flush();
        os.close();
        con.connect();
        
        con.getInputStream();
    }

    public void run()
    {
        try
        {
            ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(8888);
            Socket socket = ss.accept();
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(socket.getInputStream()));
            String str = br.readLine();
            while(str.length() != 0)
            {
                System.out.println(str);
                str = br.readLine();
            }
            socket.close();
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The thread loop prints the headers - you'll see the Content-length header being
printes
