Android cant execute POST request after GET

My problem is this: after the GET request authorization and save cookies trying to perform a POST request to add data, but the server responds with 500 code. What's funny, because if POST query string form in a browser, it is executed correctly. The code below.
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(site + "/admin/users/login_do/?login=admin&password=demo");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
List<Cookie> cookies = httpclient.getCookieStore().getCookies();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(site + "/admin/news/add/5/item/do/");
httppost.addHeader("Cookie", "PHPSESSID="+cookies.get(0).getValue()+"; umicms_session="+cookies.get(1).getValue()+"; stat_id="+cookies.get(2).getValue());
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("active", "1"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", "test"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data[new][anons]", "anno"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data[new][content]", "cont"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("data[new][publish_time]", "1420202020"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs, HTTP.UTF_8));
response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
StatusLine status = response.getStatusLine();
Log.d("my",String.valueOf(status.getStatusCode()));
Log.d("my",String.valueOf(status.getReasonPhrase()));
I've tried to run POST using HttpURLConnection, but also received 500 response.
Who can tell what might be the problem?

Problem solved. I Forgot to send csrf token with POST request and set Referer header
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("csrf", csrf));
httppost.addHeader("Referer", referlink);

Get the authentication from the moodle for a android application

I want to get the authentication from moodle (say the moodle site from our university) in my android application. And I do not have the access to the database. I tried to make a http post request from my application with username and password.
But when I execute the post request, I get an exception. This is what I have tried
private URI url = new URI("https://online.mrt.ac.lk/login/index.php");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "user"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "password"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
I get a exception like this
javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: No peer certificate
Please someone help me.

How to post data having HTML content in query string

I need to post my string to server having html content,
Here is my code
Url Builder
Uri.Builder builder = new Uri.Builder()
.scheme("http")
.authority(domain)
.path(pageName)
.appendQueryParameter("myaction", "dopost")
.appendQueryParameter("mesg", msg.replace("\n","<br />"));
And the generated url looks like
domainname/pagename?myaction=dopost&mesg=Hello%2C%3Cbr%20%2F%3E%3Cbr%20%2F%3ETesting
execute http code
HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet(url);
getRequest.setHeader(CONTENT_TYPE, MIME_TEXT_HTML); // html/text, utf-8
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = client.execute(getRequest);
but this will not posted getting forbidden error after executing
Thank in advance

maybe a silly mistake, but a post usually is done with an HttpPost instead of an HttpGet
and looks like this:
// Create a new HttpClient and Post Header
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php");
try {
// Add your data
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "12345"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "AndDev is Cool!"));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
// Execute HTTP Post Request
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
}

Why is HttpPost using a GET method? [Android]

I am executing the following post in Android:
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.example.com");
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("account", "login"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email", "email#email.com));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
In the server side I return the cgi.request_method variable and it is GET.
Shouldn't it be POST? Am I missing something?

That code should initiate a POST, not a GET. I would guess that something on the server side is misconfigured.

My problem was send http instead of https
