trying to add post params to http request but failing on 14 versions. 15 versions working properly

 Hello,

I am trying to create a post request from a plugin I am writing and it is working in 15 intellij version but does not work on 14 version:

UrlEncodedFormEntity ent = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(formParams);

((HttpPost) request).setEntity(ent);

when I look at the request /entity objects I can't see my parameter.

I have tried adding it in this form :

basicParams.setBooleanParameter("ship_it" , true);
((HttpPost) request).setParams(basicParams);
request.setHeader("ship_it" , "true");

but still no go.

any tip on how I can complete it and why intellij 15 version is working properly?
