I've got a webserver setup ready to receive images and I'd like to have a client in Java send the image along with two POST arguments, upon searching the web I only found ways to do this with Apache's API but I'd prefer to do this in vanilla Java.
Any help will be appreciated.

Something along the lines of...
String url = "https://asite.com";
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
//add reuqest header
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
con.setRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.5");
String urlParameters = "aparam=1&anotherparam=2";
// Send post request
con.setDoOutput(true);
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
wr.writeBytes(urlParameters);
wr.flush();
wr.close();
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(inputLine);
}
in.close();
You can add more headers, and add more to the output stream as required.
