workaround for java.net POST

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would be nice to add this static method to OAuthConsumer or some other 
class, it's a quick hack to allow POST url-encoded while using java.net
( it can also be used in user code )

    public static void signAndSend(OAuthConsumer consumer,       
            HttpURLConnection req, final byte[] payload) 
        throws ... 
    {
        HttpRequest spReq = new HttpURLConnectionRequestAdapter(req) {
            public InputStream getMessagePayload() {
                return new ByteArrayInputStream(payload);
            }
        };

        consumer.sign(spReq);

        OutputStream os = req.getOutputStream();
        os.write(payload);
        os.close();
    }

A better option would be to refactor the interfaces so signAndSend() with 
payload is common to all http client wrappers.

I submitted a proposed implementation for this in defect #58.  Sorry for the 
duplicate.  Good to see it's not difficult to extend w/o modifying the current 
Signpost codebase though.
