(secure)HttpURLConnection & FileNotFound

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to write an agent that will going to do a login to a page, and retrieve the data there. I have some problems while POSTing data.
I use jsse. I can succesfully retrieve the main page, and parse all its headers:
URL hosturl = new URL("https://secure.host.com/net/webservice.jsp?cmd=web");
HttpURLConnection tc=(HttpURLConnection)hosturl.openConnection();
    tc.setDoOutput(true);
    tc.connect();
    String session=tc.getHeaderField("Set-Cookie");I get inputstream in usual way and see its contents:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    tc.getInputStream()));
             String inputLine;
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
         System.out.println(inputLine);
     in.close();
    tc.disconnect();Then I have to make a post which appears in the content like this:
<form name="form" action="cgi-bin?HostSession=JAq1|-A" method="POST"">
where HostSession is nothing but the cookie which I can succesfully parse. I try to post data to the form:
URL form1 = new URL("https://secure.host.com/net/cgi-bin?"+justsession);
    HttpURLConnection fc=(HttpURLConnection)form1.openConnection();
    fc.setDoOutput(true);
    fc.setDoInput(true);
    fc.setRequestProperty("Cookie",session);
    fc.setRequestMethod("POST");
    fc.setRequestProperty("login","ABC");
    fc.connect();
    in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fc.getInputStream()));
    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
         System.out.println(inputLine);But I get the exception:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://secure.host.com/net/cgi-bin?HostSession=se|-2
     at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnection.getInputStream([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])
     at program.mainclass.main(deneme.java:98)
(The sessions may not match, I copied error at a later time and I change them a little bit in order not to reveal the host.)
Any help? Thanks a lot.

Hey,Hey
Why do you want your Duke Dollars back?? Don't IWhy wouldn't I??
deserve them? I actually spent time on looking at your
problem and you did write "You are completely right.".Well, thanks. But I spent that time too, and figured out that answer. Due to my problems with ISP it took time for me to connect and post forum that I have solved the problem that I posted. But I did see your post, and your solution was very helpful. Even if I had come to your point I thought that you deserve the dolar.
So, forget it!!! (And there is anyway no way to get
them back!!!)Yes I got that too! The problem was I learnt it with the hard way (as I always do in programming or life.

Hmm...Well, actually there is something that I can do. I saw the "lost dollars" all around the forum. I don't want my 5 be like them too, so there is no problem with me whether putting them rest or giving them to you. So if you want, I can give them to you. And, maybe, if you are grateful you can give some of them back to me. Of course, I want to solve any of your problems, if there are.
If you want...
