How to do a POST request to a URL with Parameters in Swift?

Hi,

I've followed the "Build a Weather App with Swift" Swift tutorial on making a call to a URL to obtain JSON, and I'm trying to adapt this. Can anyone explain how to make a POST request to a URL so I can pass parameters to it (for example, a username). I don't want to pass the parameters via the URL like in the tutorial.

let dataObject = NSData(contentsOfURL: location)
// Send username...
println(NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(dataObject!, options: nil, error: nil))
