Question: How do I attach a file to the HTTP POST request? I am using URLConnection to send the HTTP request.

Answer: you need to write code like this. Please find exact details yourself
URL dest = "http://www.myurlhere.com ";
URLConnection urlCon = dest.openConnection();

// prepare input and output
urlCon.setDoInput(true);
urlCon.setDoOutput(true);

// Disable caching
urlCon.setUseCaches(false);

// Post output
DataOutputStream out =
new DataOutputStream(urlCon.getOutputStream());
out.writeBytes( file.toString );
out.flush();
out.close();

// return servlet response as a DataInputStream
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(urlCon.getInputStream());

// and so on
....
