try {

                .setHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.111 Safari/537.36")
                .setCookie(new HttpCookie("csrftoken", "951157e1fecfce6d8f9f52587ee27f2a"))
                .setConnectionTimeout(15000)
                .setReadTimeout(15000)
                .setFollowRedirects(true)
                .setBody("username=user&password=passwd")
                .execute();

    Map<String, List<String>> responseHeaders;
    List<HttpCookie> responseCookies;
    String responseBody;
    String redirectUrl;

    if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
        responseHeaders = http.getResponseHeaders();
        responseCookies = http.getResponseCookies();
        responseBody = http.getResponseBody();
        redirectUrl = http.getRedirectUrl();
    }

    // Process response
