Try using the HttpUrlConnection class, set the requestMethod to post and add
the user name and password to the output stream (you'll need to set the
content-length header as well.
By the way, why does using post fix the problem of passing username and
password from the applet?

Subject: showDocument() with a post to servlet
I am tring to pop another web browser from my applet and call a servlet that
requires a post. I use the showDocument() method in AppletContext passing a
URL with params. I can successfully call servlet as a get but not as a
post. I need to call it as a post due to security concerns of passing
username and password parameters from the applet. Does anyone have any
workarounds or suggestions in trying to accomplish what I have described
above? Please, email with your advice. Thank you in advance.
