   out.close();

Generally speaking, you must close the TCP connection or the server 
won't "recognize" that you are done sending data.

I seem to recall that Java's built-in HttpConnection is kind of 
primitive and doesn't really implement everything you'd expect for a 
real HTTP connection.  In particular, I think you have to handle cookies 
yourself, which might be causing the server code to break if it doesn't 
see the cookies it's expecting.

I think the Apache Commons library has an HTTP class that handles things 
more automagically.  Try their HttpClient if you can't figure out what 
the built-in version needs:
