Answer 1

The raw HTTP Request with POST should look like as follows:

POST /login.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: www.mysite.com 
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0
Content-Length: 27
Content-Type: text/plain

userid=joe&password=guessme

You need to call conn.getContent()

In the code posted by you... you are not appending data to url or in words you are not making any get request. Here you are making Post request to url.
