I am trying to do POST with HttpURLConnection(I need to use it this way, can't use HttpPost) and I'd like to add parameters to that connection such as
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvp));
where
nvp = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
having some data stored in. I can't find a way how to add this ArrayList to my HttpURLConnection which is here:
HttpsURLConnection https = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
https.setHostnameVerifier(DO_NOT_VERIFY);
http = https;
http.setRequestMethod("POST");
http.setDoInput(true);
http.setDoOutput(true);
The reason for that awkward https and http combination is the need for not verifying the certificate. That is not a problem, though, it posts the server well. But I need it to post with arguments.
Any ideas?
Duplicate Disclaimer:
Back in 2012, I had no idea how parameters were inserted into an HTTP POST request. I was hanging on to NameValuePair because it was in a tutorial. This question might seem like a duplicate, however, my 2012 self read that other question and it was NOT using NameValuePair. It did not, in fact, solve my problem.

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 OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));
writer.write(getQuery(params));
writer.flush();
writer.close();
os.close();
conn.connect();
...
private String getQuery(List<NameValuePair> params) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
boolean first = true;
for (NameValuePair pair : params)
{
if (first)
first = false;
else
result.append("&");
result.append(URLEncoder.encode(pair.getName(), "UTF-8"));
result.append("=");
result.append(URLEncoder.encode(pair.getValue(), "UTF-8"));
}
return result.toString();
}
