ChunkedInputStream

Class Overview

Implements chunked transfer coding. See RFC 2616, section 3.6.1. It transparently coalesces chunks of a HTTP stream that uses chunked transfer coding. After the stream is read to the end, it provides access to the trailers, if any.

Note that this class NEVER closes the underlying stream, even when close gets called. Instead, it will read until the "end" of its chunking on close, which allows for the seamless execution of subsequent HTTP 1.1 requests, while not requiring the client to remember to read the entire contents of the response.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class java.io.InputStream int available() Returns an estimated number of bytes that can be read or skipped without blocking for more input. void close() Closes this stream. void mark(int readlimit) Sets a mark position in this InputStream. boolean markSupported() Indicates whether this stream supports the mark() and reset() methods. int read(byte[] buffer) Equivalent to read(buffer, 0, buffer.length). abstract int read() Reads a single byte from this stream and returns it as an integer in the range from 0 to 255. int read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int length) Reads at most length bytes from this stream and stores them in the byte array b starting at offset. synchronized void reset() Resets this stream to the last marked location. long skip(long byteCount) Skips at most n bytes in this stream.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
From interface java.io.Closeable abstract void close() Closes the object and release any system resources it holds.
