why won't an openConnection() submit the url?

[Flip]

I ran the following code snippet in my project and unfortunately the servlet
on the other end didn't run. Why not?

URL url = new URL( "http://localhost/webname/event_id=375&q1=14" );
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = ( HttpURLConnection )
vote.openConnection();

Why won't that submit the URL with the querystring to the servlet on the
other end?

try watching with a packet sniffer to see what is getting sent and
what a successful sender sends.
