Can you not just keep track of how much data you have read from the stream?
create a string buffer
create a buffered reader for getResponseBodyAsStream()
read the response and append to my string buffer
Bad idea!
You try to mix binary data with character data without any care for
character encodings. What method do you use to append data to the buffer?
If you want to do this, then put the data into a ByteArrayOutputStream
instead of a StringBuffer. Then you have binary data.
Now at this point I have a stringbuffer with the compressed content, I
can use this to get the response length.
No, you can get the number of characters, not the same thing.
Note: since you do not know in advance how much data you will get you
risk getting OOME if the server sends a DVD or something other large.
