title: how to send post request with nsurlconnection
body: <p>I have changed over to NSURLConnection and NSURLRequest delegates for my db connections etc. 
  I was using the ASIHTTPRequest libraries to do all this stuff but finally decided to move on due to the lack of support for that 3rd party library.</p>
  
  <p>what I am woundering is how do I send post requests to my db like you do with the ASIFormDataRequest as shown below</p>
  
  <pre><code>//This sets up all other request
          ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
  
          [request setDelegate:self];
          [request setValidatesSecureCertificate:NO];
          [request setPostValue:@"ClientDataSet.xml" forKey:@"filename"];  
          [request startSynchronous];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i.e. how to do send the setPostValues with the NSURLRequest class?
  any help would be greatly appreciated </p>
