下面是一个简单的示例，它提交了一个表单，然后将结果页面转储到System.out。当然，要适当地更改URL和POST参数:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;

class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL url = new URL("http://example.net/new-message.php");
        Map<String,Object> params = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        params.put("name", "Freddie the Fish");
        params.put("email", "fishie@seamail.example.com");
        params.put("reply_to_thread", 10394);
        params.put("message", "Shark attacks in Botany Bay have gotten out of control. We need more defensive dolphins to protect the schools here, but Mayor Porpoise is too busy stuffing his snout with lobsters. He's so shellfish.");

        StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
        for (Map.Entry<String,Object> param : params.entrySet()) {
            if (postData.length() != 0) postData.append('&');
            postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(param.getKey(), "UTF-8"));
            postData.append('=');
            postData.append(URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(param.getValue()), "UTF-8"));
        }
        byte[] postDataBytes = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");

        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postDataBytes.length));
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.getOutputStream().write(postDataBytes);

        Reader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));

        for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
            System.out.print((char)c);
    }
}

如果你想将结果作为字符串而不是直接打印出来，请:

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
            sb.append((char)c);
        String response = sb.toString();

import java.net.*;

public class Demo{

  public static void main(){

       String data = "data=Hello+World!";
       URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8084/WebListenerServer/webListener");
       HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
       con.setRequestMethod("POST");
       con.setDoOutput(true);
       con.getOutputStream().write(data.getBytes("UTF-8"));
       con.getInputStream();

    }

}

在GET请求中，参数作为URL的一部分发送。

在POST请求中，参数作为请求体发送，位于请求头之后。

要使用HttpURLConnection进行POST，需要在打开连接后将参数写入连接。

这段代码应该让你开始:

String urlParameters  = "param1=a&param2=b&param3=c";
byte[] postData       = urlParameters.getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
int    postDataLength = postData.length;
String request        = "http://example.com/index.php";
URL    url            = new URL( request );
HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();           
conn.setDoOutput( true );
conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects( false );
conn.setRequestMethod( "POST" );
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 
conn.setRequestProperty( "charset", "utf-8");
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-Length", Integer.toString( postDataLength ));
conn.setUseCaches( false );
try( DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream( conn.getOutputStream())) {
   wr.write( postData );
}

我发现HttpURLConnection使用起来非常麻烦。你必须写大量样板，容易出错的代码。我需要一个轻量级的包装为我的Android项目，并提出了一个库，你可以使用:DavidWebb。

上面的例子可以这样写:

Webb webb = Webb.create();
webb.post("http://example.com/index.php")
        .param("param1", "a")
        .param("param2", "b")
        .param("param3", "c")
        .ensureSuccess()
        .asVoid();

您可以在提供的链接上找到备选库的列表。

对于那些使用$_POST在php页面上接收请求的问题，因为你期望键值对:

虽然所有的答案都很有帮助，但我对实际发布哪个字符串缺乏一些基本的了解，因为在我使用的旧apache HttpClient中

new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs); (Java)

然后可以在php中使用$_POST获取键值对。

据我的理解，现在已经在发布之前手动构建该字符串。所以字符串应该是这样的

val data = "key1=val1&key2=val2"

而是只是把它添加到它被张贴的url(在头)。

另一种方法是使用json-string:

val data = "{\"key1\":\"val1\",\"key2\":\"val2\"}" // {"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"}

然后把它拉到php中，不需要$_POST:

$json_params = file_get_contents('php://input');
// echo_p("Data: $json_params");
$data = json_decode($json_params, true);

下面是Kotlin中的示例代码:

class TaskDownloadTest : AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
    override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void): Void? {
        var urlConnection: HttpURLConnection? = null

        try {

            val postData = JsonObject()
            postData.addProperty("key1", "val1")
            postData.addProperty("key2", "val2")

            // reformat json to key1=value1&key2=value2
            // keeping json because I may change the php part to interpret json requests, could be a HashMap instead
            val keys = postData.keySet()
            var request = ""
            keys.forEach { key ->
                // Log.i("data", key)
                request += "$key=${postData.get(key)}&"
            }
            request = request.replace("\"", "").removeSuffix("&")
            val requestLength = request.toByteArray().size
            // Warning in Android 9 you need to add a line in the application part of the manifest: android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
            // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45940861/android-8-cleartext-http-traffic-not-permitted
            val url = URL("http://10.0.2.2/getdata.php")
            urlConnection = url.openConnection() as HttpURLConnection
            // urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") // apparently default
            // Not sure what these are for, I do not use them
            // urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json")
            // urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Key","Value")
            urlConnection.readTimeout = 5000
            urlConnection.connectTimeout = 5000
            urlConnection.requestMethod = "POST"
            urlConnection.doOutput = true
            // urlConnection.doInput = true
            urlConnection.useCaches = false
            urlConnection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(requestLength)
            // urlConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0) // if you do not want to handle request length which is fine for small requests

            val out = urlConnection.outputStream
            val writer = BufferedWriter(
                OutputStreamWriter(
                    out, "UTF-8"
                )
            )
            writer.write(request)
            // writer.write("{\"key1\":\"val1\",\"key2\":\"val2\"}") // {"key1":"val1","key2":"val2"} JsonFormat or just postData.toString() for $json_params=file_get_contents('php://input'); json_decode($json_params, true); in php
            // writer.write("key1=val1&key2=val2") // key=value format for $_POST in php
            writer.flush()
            writer.close()
            out.close()

            val code = urlConnection.responseCode
            if (code != 200) {
                throw IOException("Invalid response from server: $code")
            }

            val rd = BufferedReader(
                InputStreamReader(
                    urlConnection.inputStream
                )
            )
            var line = rd.readLine()
            while (line != null) {
                Log.i("data", line)
                line = rd.readLine()
            }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        } finally {
            urlConnection?.disconnect()
        }

        return null
    }
}

这个答案涵盖了使用自定义Java POJO的POST调用的特定情况。

使用Gson的maven依赖项将Java对象序列化为JSON。

使用下面的依赖项安装Gson。

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
  <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
  <version>2.8.5</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

对于那些使用gradle的人可以使用下面的

dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'
}

使用的其他导入:

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.*;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import com.google.gson.Gson;

现在，我们可以继续使用Apache提供的HttpPost

private CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://example.com");

Product product = new Product(); //custom java object to be posted as Request Body
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    String client = gson.toJson(product);

    httppost.setEntity(new StringEntity(client, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON));
    httppost.setHeader("RANDOM-HEADER", "headervalue");
    //Execute and get the response.
    HttpResponse response = null;
    try {
        response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new InternalServerErrorException("Post fails");
    }
    Response.Status responseStatus = Response.Status.fromStatusCode(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
    return Response.status(responseStatus).build();

上面的代码将返回从POST调用接收到的响应代码
