Here's a code snippet:
Note: "in" is a BufferedReader reading an HTTP request from a browser via a
socket. "HeaderElements" is a HashMap.
int colonIndex = 0;
boolean initialLine = true;
String currentLine;
try {
while((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null){
if(initialLine){//special case
parseInitialRequestLine(currentLine);
initialLine = false;
}
else{
if((colonIndex = currentLine.indexOf(":")) != -1){
headerElements.put(currentLine.substring(0, colonIndex),
currentLine.substring(colonIndex+2));//the key, value
}
}//end else
}//end while
}
My problem is this: the readLine method hangs. All the header lines are
received and stored fine but readLine() never returns. Looking into it, one
book (old, from 1999) I read said this is a bug in the readLine() method and
that the problem is that it is looking for "\r\n" but apparently is only
getting "\r" when reading over the network. Does anyone know if this really
is still a bug or am I doing something wrong? If the former, what workaround
would you suggest, read() character?
Thanks,
Dev
