Converting curl call to Java

I login to a server (php page) using the code below:

$curl -b cookies --output 'result' \
    --data 'user=me@myself.com' \
    --data 'password=donttellanyone' \
    http://ift.tt/1JxDJA3

After executing this command in terminal, a file named result will be created and inside it is just a html page that says login success.

But I now want to do the same thing using a Java console application...but I havent got any success yet. Executing this Java code results in error. I guess it is because I am not giving username and password in a correct way.

This is my code:

URL url = new URL("http://ift.tt/1jbM0iA");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie",  "username=" + email + "; password=" + pwd);
conn.connect();

So the question is how to convert the above curl command to Java code?
