## Class ChunkedInputStream

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.InputStream
  - - org.apache.http.impl.io.ChunkedInputStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

      @NotThreadSafe
      public class ChunkedInputStream
      extends InputStream

  Implements chunked transfer coding. The content is received in small chunks. Entities transferred using this input stream can be of unlimited length. After the stream is read to the end, it provides access to the trailers, if any.

  Note that this class NEVER closes the underlying stream, even when close gets called. Instead, it will read until the "end" of its chunking on close, which allows for the seamless execution of subsequent HTTP 1.1 requests, while not requiring the client to remember to read the entire contents of the response.

  Since:
    4.0

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `ChunkedInputStream(SessionInputBuffer in)` Wraps session input stream and reads chunk coded input.

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `int` | `available()`
    `void` | `close()` Upon close, this reads the remainder of the chunked message, leaving the underlying socket at a position to start reading the next response without scanning.
    `Header[]` | `getFooters()`
    `int` | `read()` Returns all the data in a chunked stream in coalesced form.
    `int` | `read(byte[] b)` Read some bytes from the stream.
    `int` | `read(byte[] b, int off, int len)` Read some bytes from the stream.

    - #### ChunkedInputStream

          public ChunkedInputStream(SessionInputBuffer in)

      Wraps session input stream and reads chunk coded input.
      Parameters:
        `in` - The session input buffer

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### available

          public int available()
                        throws IOException

      Overrides:
        `available` in class `InputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws IOException

      Returns all the data in a chunked stream in coalesced form. A chunk is followed by a CRLF. The method returns -1 as soon as a chunksize of 0 is detected.

      Trailer headers are read automatically at the end of the stream and can be obtained with the getResponseFooters() method.

      Specified by:
        `read` in class `InputStream`
      Returns:
        -1 of the end of the stream has been reached or the next data byte
      Throws:
        `IOException` - in case of an I/O error

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b,
                 int off,
                 int len)
                   throws IOException

      Read some bytes from the stream.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `InputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - The byte array that will hold the contents from the stream.
        `off` - The offset into the byte array at which bytes will start to be placed.
        `len` - the maximum number of bytes that can be returned.
      Returns:
        The number of bytes returned or -1 if the end of stream has been reached.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - in case of an I/O error

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b)
                   throws IOException

      Read some bytes from the stream.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `InputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - The byte array that will hold the contents from the stream.
      Returns:
        The number of bytes returned or -1 if the end of stream has been reached.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - in case of an I/O error

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Upon close, this reads the remainder of the chunked message, leaving the underlying socket at a position to start reading the next response without scanning.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `InputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - in case of an I/O error

    - #### getFooters

          public Header[] getFooters()
