Usually stream returned by http connection will support mark (see InputStream#markSupported), but it's safer to wrap returned stream with BufferedInputStream since size of buffer is unknown on original stream (and it may not be large enough to keep all necessary data). With stream which support mark you can call:
is.mark(); doStuff(is); is.reset(); doStuff2(is); -- Bart Janusz www.beepstreet.com On Jan 9, 6:28 pm, jax <[email protected]> wrote: > What I mean is that I just want to start reading from the start of the > Stream again, not request the whole http page again. > > so basically - read a little of the stream and do some tests I have > created > > then send the stream to another function where I need the entire > stream from the beginning > > On Jan 9, 10:31 pm, "Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)" > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > It would seem to me that a more logical approach would be to save the > > stream when reading it then parse the data rather than re-read the > > stream a second time.
