Class ChunkedInputStream

public ChunkedInputStream(InputStream in,
                          gnu.java.net.protocol.http.Headers headers)

Constructor.

Parameters:

in - the response socket input stream

headers - the headers to receive additional header lines

public int available()
            throws IOException

This method returns the number of bytes that can be read from this stream before a read might block. Even if the underlying InputStream has data available past the end of the current chunk, we have no way of knowing how large the next chunk header will be. So we cannot report available data past the current chunk.

Overrides:

available in interface InputStream

Returns:

The number of bytes that can be read before a read might block

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

public void close()
            throws IOException

This method closes the ChunkedInputStream by closing the underlying InputStream.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

close in interface AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in interface InputStream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

public int read()
            throws IOException

This method reads an unsigned byte from the input stream and returns it as an int in the range of 0-255. This method also will return -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.

This method will block until the byte can be read.

Overrides:

read in interface InputStream

Returns:

The byte read or -1 if end of stream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

public int read(byte[] buffer,
                int offset,
                int length)
            throws IOException

This method read bytes from a stream and stores them into a caller supplied buffer. It starts storing the data at index off into the buffer and attempts to read len bytes. This method can return before reading the number of bytes requested. The actual number of bytes read is returned as an int. A -1 is returned to indicate the end of the stream.

This method will block until some data can be read.

This method operates by calling the single byte read() method in a loop until the desired number of bytes are read. The read loop stops short if the end of the stream is encountered or if an IOException is encountered on any read operation except the first. If the first attempt to read a bytes fails, the IOException is allowed to propagate upward. And subsequent IOException is caught and treated identically to an end of stream condition. Subclasses can (and should if possible) override this method to provide a more efficient implementation.

Overrides:

read in interface InputStream

Parameters:

Returns:

The actual number of bytes read, or -1 if end of stream.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs.
