Yes, you are right.
If we access the URL from broweser, it opens up a file dialog box and starts filling in bytes and there is no end to it unless we close the window. We are able to read the stream with get.getResponseBodyAsStream(). The stream is image bytes delimited by an ascii string "--myboundary", So I guess i just need figure out an easy way of cutting this stream into bytes for every occurence of that string. That sounds more of an IO issue. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time and response.

Srinivas,
I understand that you do not mean HTTP's chunked transfer encoding by the term "chunked stream" and "chunked input". I guess you are using a Multipart-MIME like content encoding. HttpClient does NOT however deal with the content and does not provide any means to parse the contents format. You must therefore either parse the response stream by yourself or use an existing Multipart-MIME library to decode the multipart stream. You may want to have a look at the Commons FileUpload code which does exactly that or at Multipart-MIME Email handling code which must do a similar thing.

Hi,
We have a an application which sends chunked input stream for a URL request. We are using HttpClient to get the response. The chunked response sent by the application is actually a motion image. The motion image is retrieved by the first GET command operation and will be send as the sequential data. Therefore, display application should display the sequential data with dividing the data into an image-unit. In this case, boundary character string "--myboundary" is fixed as an index.
What is the best way of handling this type of response and storing each image data in a byte[] array , and using a new byte[] array when we see "--myboundary" in the stream.
The URL looks like http://172.16.101.113/image?speed=20 and the response headers are Content-Type: image/jpeg
Thank you all in advance
