public class MultipartStream
extends java.lang.Object

This class can be used to process data streams conforming to MIME 'multipart' format as defined in RFC 1251. Arbitrary large amouns of data in the stream can be processed under constant memory usage.

The format of the stream is defined in the following way:
multipart-body := preamble 1*encapsulation close-delimiter epilogue
encapsulation := delimiter body CRLF
delimiter := "--" boundary CRLF
close-delimiter := "--" boudary "--"
preamble := <ignore>
epilogue := <ignore>
body := header-part CRLF body-part
header-part := 1*header CRLF
header := header-name ":" header-value
header-name := <printable ascii characters except ":">
header-value := <any ascii characters except CR & LF>
body-data := <arbitrary data>

Note that body-data can contain another mulipart entity. There is limited support for single pass processing of such nested streams. The nested stream is required to have a boundary token of the same length as the parent stream (see setBoundary(byte[])).

Here is an exaple of usage of this class.

    try {
        MultipartStream multipartStream = new MultipartStream(input,
                                                              boundary);
        boolean nextPart = malitPartStream.skipPreamble();
        OutputStream output;
        while(nextPart) {
            header = chunks.readHeader();
            // process headers
            // create some output stream
            multipartStream.readBodyPart(output);
            nextPart = multipartStream.readBoundary();
        }
    } catch(MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException e) {
          // the stream failed to follow required syntax
    } catch(IOException) {
          // a read or write error occurred
    }

Constructor Detail

MultipartStream

public MultipartStream(java.io.InputStream input,
                       byte[] boundary,
                       int bufSize)
                throws MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException,
                       java.io.IOException
Constructs a MultipartStream with a custom size buffer.

Note that the buffer must be at least big enough to contain the boundary string, plus 4 characters for CR/LF and double dash, plus at least one byte of data. Too small buffer size setting will degrade performance.

Parameters:
input - The InputStream to serve as a data source.
boundary - The token used for dividing the stream into encapsulations.
bufSize - The size of the buffer to be used in bytes.
Throws:
MalformedStreamException. -  
IOException. -  

MultipartStream

public MultipartStream(java.io.InputStream input,
                       byte[] boundary)
                throws java.io.IOException
Constructs a MultipartStream with a defalut size buffer.
Parameters:
input - The InputStream to serve as a data source.
boundary - The token used for dividing the stream into encapsulations.
Throws:
IOException. -  
Method Detail

readByte

public byte readByte()
              throws java.io.IOException
Reads a byte from the buffer, and refills it as neccessary.
Returns:
Next byte from the input stream.
Throws:
IOException, - if there isn't any more data available.

readBoundary

public boolean readBoundary()
                     throws MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException
Skips a boundary token, and checks wether more encapsulations are contained in the stream.
Returns:
True if there are more encapsulations in this stream.
Throws:
MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException - if the stream ends unexpecetedly or fails to follow required syntax.

setBoundary

public void setBoundary(byte[] boundary)
                 throws MultipartStream.IllegalBoundaryException
Changes the boundary token used for partitioning the stream.

This method allows single pass processing of nested multipart streams.

The boundary token of the nested stream is required to be of the same length as the boundary token in parent stream.

Restoring parent stream boundary token after processing of a nested stream is left ot the application.

Parameters:
boundary - A boundary to be used for parsing of the nested stream.
Throws:
IllegalBoundaryException, - if boundary has diffrent lenght than the one being currently in use.

readHeaders

public java.lang.String readHeaders()
                             throws MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException

Reads header-part of the current encapsulation

Headers are returned verbatim to the input stream, including traling CRLF marker. Parsing is left to the application.

TODO allow limiting maximum header size to protect against abuse.

Returns:
header-part of the current encapsulation.
Throws:
MalformedStreamException, - if the stream ends unexpecetedly.

readBodyData

public int readBodyData(java.io.OutputStream output)
                 throws MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException,
                        java.io.IOException
Reads body-data from the current encapsulation and writes its contents into the output Stream.

Arbitrary large amouts of data can be processed by this method using a constant size buffer. (see constructor).

Parameters:
output - The Stream to write data into.
Returns:
the amount of data written.
Throws:
MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException -  
java.io.IOException -  

discardBodyData

public int discardBodyData()
                    throws MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException,
                           java.io.IOException
Reads body-data from the current encapsulation and discards it.

Use this method to skip encapsulations you don't need or don't understand.

Returns:
The amount of data discarded.
Throws:
MultipartStream.MalformedStreamException -  
java.io.IOException -  

skipPreamble

public boolean skipPreamble()
                     throws java.io.IOException
Finds the beginning of the first encapsulation.
Returns:
True if an encapsulation was found in the stream.
Throws:
java.io.IOException -

Returns:
true if count first bytes in arrays a and b are equal.

findByte

protected int findByte(byte value,
                       int pos)
Searches a byte of specified value in the buffer starting at specified position.
Parameters:
value - the value to find.
pos - The starting position for searching.

The position of byte found, counting from beginning of the buffer, or -1 if not found.

findSeparator

Searches the boundary in buffer region delimited by head and tail.
Returns:
The position of the boundary found, counting from beginning of the buffer, or -1 if not found.
