Handling POST requests in Android

I'm trying to implement a simple HTTP server in Android that handles POST requests, with DefaultHttpServerConnection, but my problem is in receiving the enclosed Entity.

DefaultHttpServerConnection conn = new DefaultHttpServerConnection();
conn.bind(socket, new BasicHttpParams());
HttpRequest request = conn.receiveRequestHeader(); 

String method = request.getRequestLine().getMethod().toUpperCase();
if (method.equals("POST")) {
    if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, "POST received");
    handleUpload(conn, request);
}

And the handleUpload method:

private void handleUpload(DefaultHttpServerConnection conn, HttpRequest request) throws HttpException, IOException {
    HttpResponse response = new BasicHttpResponse(new HttpVersion(1,1), 200, "OK");       
    BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest enclosingRequest = new BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest(request.getRequestLine());
    conn.receiveRequestEntity(enclosingRequest);
    if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, "Before input");
    String r = EntityUtils.toString(enclosingRequest.getEntity());
    if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, "Entity: " + r);

    conn.sendResponseHeader(response);
    conn.sendResponseEntity(response);
}

The execution blocks in EntityUtils.toString(). The client code used:

List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("STH", "do sth!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

Sorry for the noob question.

DefaultHttpServerConnection conn = new DefaultHttpServerConnection();
conn.bind(serverSocket.accept(), new BasicHttpParams());
HttpRequest request = conn.receiveRequestHeader();
conn.receiveRequestEntity((HttpEntityEnclosingRequest)request);
HttpEntity entity = ((HttpEntityEnclosingRequest)request).getEntity();
System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(entity));
