Reading HTTP request using InputStream

[Ben]

Hi,

I'm using Inputstream to read an HTTP request from my browser (i'm
actually making a proxy).
The code:
InputStream in = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
ArrayList<Integer> byteArray = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int currByte=in.read();
while (currByte!=-1){ // Reading byte until -1 is reached
byteArray.add(new Integer(currByte));
System.out.print((char)currByte);
currByte = in.read();
}
For some reason, instead of recognizing the end of the request and
returning -1 InputStream.read() blocks forever.

Am i doing something wrong??
Thanks,
Ben.

See Thread: "writing a proxy ..."

There is more advanced code for a proxy.

There may be a EOT or EOF signal, that indicates the end of the stream.

But anyway you should implement a timeout in case the browser aborts the
request, or the connection is lost before end of the request/answer.

Maybe its better to take an existing Java-Proxy and modify it to your needs.

Maybe this can be used (found it on a quick google search):

This looks like the main proxy-class:
