I didn't mean to change the input stream at all, just change "buf" from a StringBuffer to a ByteBuffer, then create a String with the correct byte-to-character conversion after all the bytes are read. Maybe ByteBuffer isn't the right class, maybe it shoudl be byte[] or ArrayList<Byte>? Or am I misunderstanding what André is trying to do? -- Len
