    You get an error as you try to perform HTTP connection on the main thread:

    03-18 13:30:17.593: E/log_tag(623): Error in http       connectionandroid.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

    As far as I can see, the HTTP code is correct, but you are running it on the UI thread. This is not allowed. You need to perform such long actions on a background thread. Android gives you a very easy to use facilities to perform long action on the background and publish the results on the main (UI) thread. One of the most useful is AsyncTask. I would recommend that you read Painless Threading, as it will help you a lot IMO.
