Unfortunately there are a considerable number of J2ME devices (especially
cellphones - some examples: http://java.sun.com/webapps/device/device) that
only provide the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) J2ME stack.
Unlike the CDC, the CLDC does not contain the java.net package - in fact, it
only contains java.io, java.lang, java.util and java.microedition.  There is
no guarantee that you'll be able to write socket level code.  This is
partially due to the fact that the underlying bearer of the traffic between
the device and its network may not be TCP/IP aware.

This will limit you on those devices to the specific HTTP methods supported
within the stack.  A POST-based solution would have to be considered.
