Basically, I'm trying to connect to a web interface through an Android application.

I successfully used HttpClient to send commands to the form. However, I want to do this using HttpUrlConnection as recommended here http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/09/androids-http-clients.html, with the aim of getting a faster and more energy efficient connection.

URL url = new URL("http://" + mIpAddress + ":" + mPort + "/command.html"); HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); connection.setReadTimeout(10000); connection.setConnectTimeout(15000); connection.setRequestMethod("POST"); connection.setDoInput(true); connection.setDoOutput(true); OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream(); BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8")); writer.write(URLEncoder.encode("parameter=" + value, "UTF-8"); writer.flush(); writer.close(); os.close(); connection.connect();

EDIT: No exception is thrown because the code executes fine, maybe the request is not in the format expected by the server?
