I am trying to do **POST** with `HttpURLConnection`(I need to use it this way, can&#39;t use `HttpPost`) and I&#39;d like to add parameters to that connection such as

    post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvp));

where

    nvp = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;();

having some data stored in. I can&#39;t find a way how to add this `ArrayList` to my `HttpURLConnection` which is here:

    HttpsURLConnection https = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    https.setHostnameVerifier(DO_NOT_VERIFY);
    http = https;
    http.setRequestMethod(&quot;POST&quot;);
    http.setDoInput(true);
    http.setDoOutput(true);

The reason for that awkward https and http combination is the need for *not verifying* the certificate. That is not a problem, though, it posts the server well. But I need it to post with arguments. 

Any ideas?

**Duplicate Disclaimer:**

Back in 2012, I had no idea how parameters were inserted into an **HTTP POST** request. I was hanging on to `NameValuePair` because it was in a tutorial. This question might seem like a duplicate, however, my 2012 self read that *[other][1]* question and it was **NOT** using `NameValuePair`. It did not, in fact, solve my problem.
