Method Detail

readWord

public static java.lang.String readWord(java.io.InputStream in,
                                        int maxSize)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Returns the first word of specified maximum size up to the first space and returns it. This does not read up to the first whitespace character -- it only looks for a single space. This is particularly useful for reading HTTP requests, as the request method, the URI, and the HTTP version must all be separated by a single space. Note that only one extra character is read from the stream in the case of success (the white space character after the word).

Parameters:

in - The input stream from where to read the word

maxSize - The maximum size of the word.

Returns:

the first word (i.e., no whitespace) of specified maximum size

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the word of specified maxSize couldnt be read, either due to stream errors, or timeouts
