ByteArrayEntity should be what your're looking for:

 [...]
 PostMethod post = new PostMethod(url);
 post.setRequestEntity(new ByteArrayEntity(bytes));
 post.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
 [...]

You will have to set content-type to match what you have in the byte array.
