I always get back Content Length Required 411, what am I doing wrong here? am I not sending it right? Im sending to a RoR server. It basically will switch between statements depending on weather there is an image present or not. Thanks guys.

Content Length is a Http Request Header Property, not a http Request Property.
This does not set the Content Length in Http Request Header:
Try using HttpURLConnection.setFixedLengthStreamingMode() set the Content Length, for example:
Hope this helps.
