after executing post method on the server i get this error: HTTP/1.1 302 Found, which as i know states that there is a redirect that follows. I am trying to fill in the logon form and post it to server, after doing so, i get this redirect.

P.S. The form submit method is postback.. maybe this is a key?

P.P.S. After posting this:

__VIEWSTATE=&__EVENTTARGET=&__EVENTARGUMENT=&ctl00$tbUsername=qwerty&ctl00$tbPwd=qwerty&ctl00$chkRememberLogin=0&ctl00$cmdLogin=Login&ctl00$cmdForgetMe=Forget Me

I get this:

<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://website/mobile/(X(1)S(lyslolvcdq13af45juum2vel))/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fsyspower3%2fmobile%2fdefault.aspx&amp;AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

Plus the set of headers:

EDITED:
Now i can see the new location that I must proceed to. But here is a new problem, when i enter this new link into the browser, i get into the server(i pass login), but if I do a new request(POST) to server, then i am being thrown back to the login page…

P.S. Now i am using HttpURLConnection for the post method

    That’s not an error. That’s just an informal message that there’s a redirect. Only HTTP 4nn and 5nn responses are real errors. The redirect URL is available in the HTTP Location header. You, as being a web client, are obligated to send a new GET request on the URL as specified in the HTTP Location header.

    String location = response.getLastHeader("Location").getValue();
// ...

    Update: So, you got a HTTP 302 response without a Location header? What’s the status code of the response itself? 

    int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

    If this is 200 and the body contains a 302 message, then it’s definitely a bug in the server side. The webserver should have returned a status code of 302 along with a Location header.

    Update 2: So, the status code is actually 200. That’s a bug in the server side. If that website is not under your control and thus you cannot fix the server, then you need to report it to the admin/maintainer of the website. In the meanwhile, best what you could do is to extract the new location from the response body using some HTML parser and then send a new GET request on it. For example, using Jsoup:

    String location = Jsoup.parse(responseHtml).select("h2 a").first().attr("href");
// ...
