Hello there,

could anyone point me to an example showing how to
do HTTP POST with Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1 ?
I need to put an XML document in the body of the
post request.

I did this with Apache HttpComponents HttpClient 4.1,
however, the API is substantially different from 3.1,
and I need to port backwards. (The Apache site seems
only to have a short Http GET example, based on 3.0).
