SetRequestProperty("Content-Length", ....) is not set in the POST resquest

Question

Hi,
Iam sending a POST request to a servlet. Apart from other request properties iam also setting "Content-Length" property by using the
setRequestProperty("Content-Length", data.length) on httpconnection object. When i checked the http packtes being from the toolkit to the servlet (by using ethereal tool) i see that all other properties as appropriately set by
"Content-Length" is not being set at all. This is causing me big problem at the server side.
Can any one tell my why the toolkit could have droped the
"Content-Length" property in the POST request.
Thanks in Advance

:) Before Sending the data only. The code snippet is as follows:
String data="abc";                         hc.setRequestProperty( "User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0" );                              hc.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-US" );
hc.setRequestProperty( "Accept", "application/octet-stream" );
hc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
hc.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",Integer.toString(data.getBytes().length));
hc.setRequestProperty("Cookie",sessionId);
OutputStream out = hc.openOutputStream();
out.write(temp.getBytes());
out.flush();
out.close();

                                        int rc = hc.getResponseCode();
                              if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                         System.out.println("HTTP response code: " + rc);
