excuse me,why i cannot read the complete HTML file...thank you

[mike]

the followings is my code:

InputStream in = outSocket.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader insr = new InputStreamReader(in);
String myencode=insr.getEncoding();
int available_length=in.available();
int available_length_char=available_length/2;
char cbuf[] = new char[available_length_char];
System.out.println(available_length);
System.out.println(myencode);
insr.read(cbuf,0,available_length_char);
in.close();
insr.close();

i want to read the data in the InputStream and save the data in the cbuf array,
but by my code,i cannot read the complete HTML file,i print out the cbuf
and cannot see the HTML file end indicator:"</html>"

any suggestion is welcome thank you

The cause is that available() call only returns the number of bytes you can
read before blocking. It does not mean that's the end of the data... it is
possible that not all the data have arrived when you call read().

Use a while loop, and read until you get a -1 (which indicates end of
stream).

Precision : available() will never return -1.
The minimum it usually returns is 0.

The prior poster is not suggesting the use of available() at all. He
suggests actually reading characters until -1 is returned, indicating end
of file.
