The `InputStream.read(byte[],int,int)` specification indicates If len is zero, then no bytes are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at end of file, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one byte is read and stored into b. so that zero should be returned if `len` is zero regardless of anything else. `SequenceInputStream` does not follow this so its specification should be modified to document the existing, longstanding behavior. A CSR will be filed once there is consensus here. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8664
