write a post curl in java

I am trying to write a post curl in java. my curl is: 

curl -X PUT -u username:password http://localhost:1234/api/2.0/data1/include/value1

I wrote in java:

String stringUrl = "http://localhost:1234/api/2.0/data1/include/value1";
        URL url = new URL(stringUrl);
        URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();

        uc.setRequestProperty("X-Requested-With", "Curl");

        String userpass = "username" + ":" + "password";
        String basicAuth = "Basic " + new String(new Base64().encode(userpass.getBytes()));
        uc.setRequestProperty("Authorization", basicAuth);

        InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream());

Interestingly, it did not give any error but nothing happened and value1 did not add to input 1 so it means the curl post that I wrote did not do anything. Can anyone be kind enough to help me convert the above post curl request to java code?

For better invoking HTTP methods use Apache HttpClient.

Here is a nice overview how to start with get and post method: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/ApacheHttpClient/article.html

It looks like you forgot to call: uc.setDoOutput(true); before trying to set any http headers with setRequestProperty() See: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html
