Class MetadataReader

java.lang.Object

net.targetr.wtm3.io.MetadataReader

public class MetadataReader
extends Object

Reads from an InputStream until all metadata is read.

Most protocols define the end of requests and responses as CR LF CR LF. This class reads a stream until this boundary then returns a String of the contents.

After multiple attempts at more efficient reading, this was chosen for simplicity.
