It is my understanding that post requests do not have arguments in the 
url (the ?view=test part of your example), only gets.

If you are using a form you would need something like

<form action="/myServlet" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="view" value="test" />
  ...
  <input type="submit"/>
</form>
