Can't get JSOn Response when I POST to

Question

I'm using Java HttpURLConnection to send a POST request to https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken with the parameters username, password, f, expiration, referer. I need to get back the JSON response to extract the Token and store in my object, but the result I get seemingly is an HTML Page. This is what I' sing, I simplified the code to keep my question clean DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(httpConnection.getOutputStream()); wr.write(bytesArray); wr.flush(); wr.close(); InputStream in = httpConnection.getInputStream(); Reader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8")); StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder(); char[] buffer = new char[5000]; int n; while ( ( n = reader.read(buffer)) != -1 ) { content.append(buffer, 0, n); } reader.close(); return content.toString();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Initial Params string: username=&passowrd=&f=json&expiration=60&referer=http%3Aww.arcgis.com Data Bytes: [B@7506e922Sending POST request to URL : https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken This is the response I get back.

Actually this one https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken worked okay , maybe they are replaceable. The things I changed is on wr.writebytes(stringParams);

I believe the request should go to: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken (word "rest" between sharing and generateToken).
