Passing values from applet using POST method to PHP page

Question

Hello there ;)
I realy need a help here.. I`ve been working all day on sending mail from applet. I didn`t succeed bcs of the security restrictions.
So I decided just to pass arguments into PHP page, which process them and send e-mail to me.
So here is the problem.. I need to send String variables througth POST into my php page. Now I`m using GET method, but I need more than 4000 characters.
My actual solution is:
  URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1/index.php?name=" + name + "&message=" + message);
this.getAppletContext().showDocument(url,"_self");I really need to rewrite it into POST. Would you be so kind and write few lines example [applet + php code]? I`ve already searched, googled, etc.. Pls don`t copy links to other forums here, probably I`ve read it.
Thanx in advance to all :)

hi!
i`ve got some news about my applet.. so take this applet code:
public class Apletik extends JApplet {
    public void init() { }
    public void start()
    try
      String aLine; // only if reading response
      String  parametersAsString = "msg=ahoj&to=world";
      byte[] parameterAsBytes = parametersAsString.getBytes();
      // send parameters to server
      URL url = this.getCodeBase();
      url = new URL(url + "spracuj.php");
      URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
      con.setDoOutput(true);
      con.setDoInput(true); // only if reading response
      con.setUseCaches(false);
      con.setRequestProperty("Content=length", String.valueOf(parameterAsBytes.length));
      OutputStream oStream = con.getOutputStream();
      oStream.write(parameterAsBytes);
      oStream.flush();
      String line="";
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
      while ((aLine = in.readLine()) != null)
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, aLine);      
       if(aLine.equals("")) break;
      in.close();      
      oStream.close();
    catch (Exception ex)
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex.toString());
}here is code of spracuj.php which is on server:
<?php
  if(isset($_POST['msg']))
    echo('hurray!');
?>it has only 1 problem.. when i test it on my localhost, everything seems to be all right. but when i post it to my server, i got IOException HTTP 400 error code :( where is the problem? please help me, i`m so close :D thanx
