How do I set the request body for an HttpPost in 4.x

I'm sure this is obvious and I'm sure I just didn't ask google the
proper question, but I'm stumped.

 

I need to post a big blob of xml to a servlet.  The xml needs to be in
the request body.  In 3.x you said something like req.setBody( string).
I can't find anything like that in 4.x.  I just need it to end up:

 

Content-type: text/xml

Content-length: yourLengthHere

 

<xml />

 

Thanks!

One way to use is StringBody

http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/download.html

        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();


        MultipartEntity entity = new
MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        entity.addPart("xml", new StringBody("YOUR XML DATA"));

        HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
        post.setEntity(entity);
