JavaNet not doing POST correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use PlayN.net().post(...)
2. Do debug or println in the server side (eg. as servlet)
3. The request parameters are not being found eg. 
request.getParameter("myParam") will return null

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
requst.getParameter("myParam") should return what ever that is pass as data 
parameter in post(...) method in myParam=a&myParam2=b format

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Doesn't matter

Please provide any additional information below.

Following patch seems to work for me :-

If someone can take a look that'd be great.

Now that i've think of it maybe this is not a bug after all, we could get 
around this by using 

request.getReader() or request.getInputStream() 

and manually parse the request body

Just wondering as well, is there are reason for not allowing the post interface 
to set the content type?
