Have a good day! I am new to java. I wrote a program in java to login to a HTTP PHP website. When I run the program it doesn't get logged in. It just displays the content of the initial login page itself and not the page that comes after logged in. I don't know what my mistake is. I have searched a lot in the web and in this website as well. But no luck for me. :(
This is my program. Please let me know if there is any error in it.

Thank you all for reading or answering this.
NOTE:If I uncomment setRequestProperty it throws NullPointerException. Otherwise (I mean if I comment them) it gives the login page. Please help me out if possible.
Thanks again.
