I've looked all around and decided to make my own library for accessing the EVE API.

Requests are sent to a server address such as /account/Characters.xml.aspx. Characters.xml.aspx requires two item be submitted in POST and then it returns an XML file. So far I have this but it does not work, probably becuase I am using GET instead of POST:

    //Get the API data
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    String url = "http://api.eveonline.com/account/Characters.xml.aspx?userID="+
            userID+"?apiKey="+key;
    Document doc = builder.parse(url);

How would I go about being able to parst an XML file that is generated by submitting variables in POST?
