Class ContentLengthInputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class ContentLengthInputStream
    extends InputStream
    Input stream that cuts off after a defined number of bytes. This class is used to receive content of HTTP messages where the end of the content entity is determined by the value of the Content-Length header. Entities transferred using this stream can be maximum Long.MAX_VALUE long.

    Note that this class NEVER closes the underlying stream, even when close gets called. Instead, it will read until the "end" of its limit 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.

    Since:
    4.0

      • ContentLengthInputStream

        public ContentLengthInputStream​(SessionInputBuffer in,
                                        long contentLength)
        Wraps a session input buffer and cuts off output after a defined number of bytes.
        Parameters:
        in - The session input buffer
        contentLength - The maximum number of bytes that can be read from the stream. Subsequent read operations will return -1.

      • close

        public void close()
                   throws IOException

        Reads until the end of the known length of content.

        Does not close the underlying socket input, but instead leaves it primed to parse the next response.

        Specified by:
        close in interface AutoCloseable
        Specified by:
        close in interface Closeable
        Overrides:
        close in class InputStream
        Throws:
        IOException - If an IO problem occurs.
      • read

        public int read​(byte[] b,
                        int off,
                        int len)
                 throws IOException
        Does standard InputStream.read(byte[], int, int) behavior, but also notifies the watcher when the contents have been consumed.
        Overrides:
        read in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        b - The byte array to fill.
        off - Start filling at this position.
        len - The number of bytes to attempt to read.
        Returns:
        The number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of content has been reached.
        Throws:
        IOException - Should an error occur on the wrapped stream.
      • read

        public int read​(byte[] b)
                 throws IOException
        Read more bytes from the stream.
        Overrides:
        read in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        b - The byte array to put the new data in.
        Returns:
        The number of bytes read into the buffer.
        Throws:
        IOException - If an IO problem occurs
        See Also:
        InputStream.read(byte[])
      • skip

        public long skip​(long n)
                  throws IOException
        Skips and discards a number of bytes from the input stream.
        Overrides:
        skip in class InputStream
        Parameters:
        n - The number of bytes to skip.
        Returns:
        The actual number of bytes skipped. ≤ 0 if no bytes are skipped.
        Throws:
        IOException - If an error occurs while skipping bytes.
        See Also:
        InputStream.skip(long)
