How to connect to URL WITHOUT opening browser or using browserfield in Blackberry

I am trying to send information to my company's server. Basically when I enter a URL pointing to it and connect to it in a browser, it takes parameters contained in the URL and puts them in a database. Again when done in a browser, it works. However, I would like to be able to send this information every time an event of importance (like scanning a qr code in our app) happens, and I want it to be done in the background (without the user knowing.)

We have tried ConnectionFactory, HTTPRequests etc etc, nothing has worked for us so far.

I am sure there is a simple way to go about this.

Can anyone provide us with the few elusive lines of code to help us do what we want to do??

Thanks alot!

Edit:

Okay here is some code we tried using (one of many code snippets) but it did not work:

public class ConnectionThread extends Thread{
String URL;       
public ConnectionThread(String URL) {     

         this.URL = URL;
}       
public void run() {

    ServerCalls sc = new ServerCalls(); // This is for generating the URL
    ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
    ConnectionDescriptor connDesc;
    connDesc = connFact.getConnection(sc.fillParameters(URL));

    if (connDesc != null)
    {
        HttpConnection httpConn;
        httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection();
    }
    }
}

and we call new ConnectionThread(barcode).start()

when we need it to send the info to the server.

For opening the url you can use

javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection Package.

And here is the code how to go about that....

HttpConnection connection=(HttpConnection) Connector.open(your url+";deviceside=true");
if(connection.getResponseCode()==HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
       write your code, Which you want to get from url or any thing you want

    }else{
      UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
      Dialog.inform("connection error");
      }
   });
}

This may help you :)
