Things have changed once again starting Express 4.16.0, you can now use express.json() and express.urlencoded() just like in Express 3.0. This was different starting Express 4.0 to 4.15: $ npm install –save body-parser and then: var bodyParser = require(‘body-parser’) app.use( bodyParser.json() ); // to support JSON-encoded bodies app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ // to support URL-encoded bodies extended: true … Read more
You can get output stream for the connection and write the parameter query string to it. URL url = new URL(“http://yoururl.com”); HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setReadTimeout(10000); conn.setConnectTimeout(15000); conn.setRequestMethod(“POST”); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setDoOutput(true); List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(); params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(“firstParam”, paramValue1)); params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(“secondParam”, paramValue2)); params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(“thirdParam”, paramValue3)); OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream(); BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( new … Read more

It’s not a matter of security. The HTTP protocol defines GET-type requests as being idempotent, while POSTs may have side effects. In plain English, that means that GET is used for viewing something, without changing it, while POST is used for changing something. For example, a search page should use GET, while a form that … Read more
In a GET request, the parameters are sent as part of the URL. In a POST request, the parameters are sent as a body of the request, after the headers. To do a POST with HttpURLConnection, you need to write the parameters to the connection after you have opened the connection. This code should get … Read more
TL;DR Summary; if you have binary (non-alphanumeric) data (or a significantly sized payload) to transmit, use multipart/form-data. Otherwise, use application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The MIME types you mention are the two Content-Type headers for HTTP POST requests that user-agents (browsers) must support. The purpose of both of those types of requests is to send a list of name/value … Read more
