Trying to submit the post request but failing. 

  // HTTP POST request
  private final String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0";
    private void sendPost(String a) throws Exception {

        String url = "https://example.com/ajax/spidcard";
        URL obj = new URL(url);
        HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

        //add reuqest header
        con.setRequestMethod("POST");
        con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
        con.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");

        //String urlParameters = "sn=C02G8416DRJM&cn=&locale=&caller=&num=12345";
    String urlParameters = "card=" + a;

        // Send post request
        con.setDoOutput(true);
        DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
        wr.writeBytes(urlParameters);
        wr.flush();
        wr.close();

        int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
        System.out.println("\nSending 'POST' request to URL : " + url);
        System.out.println("Post parameters : " + urlParameters);
        System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode);

        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
            response.append(inputLine);
        }
        in.close();

        //print result
        System.out.println(response.toString());

    }

Output:

    the ssl certificate of the site is invalid. you can use browser to visit the site, and you'll see error too. if you cannot fix the certificate, your client needs to bypass the checking. I have a solution (using my own http client library) here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30224607/getting-images-from-https-with-java/30225325 – ZhongYu May 19 '15 at 02:04
  • Site is not invalid certificate, with browser they work for SSL. Its the Java trying to be more oversmart and failing to proceed, i need your solution. –  May 19 '15 at 22:11

    oh, sorry - in that case, the site certificate is signed by a legitimate CA that's recognized by browsers; but Java by default ships with a much smaller set of CAs, therefore it rejects this site's certificate. you could simply add the CA (or the site cert itself) to Java's truststore. my solution is a bit more extreme because it accepts all certs; but I'd say it is a simpler solution for the programmer. – ZhongYu May 20 '15 at 00:15
