readRawLine

public static byte[] readRawLine(InputStream inputStream)
                          throws IOException

Parameters:
inputStream - the stream to read from
Returns:
a byte array from the stream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O problem occurs

readLine

public static String readLine(InputStream inputStream,
                              String charset)
                       throws IOException

public static Header[] parseHeaders(InputStream is,
                                    String charset)
                             throws IOException,

Parameters:
is - the stream to read headers from
charset - the charset to use for reading the data
Returns:
