Unfortunately, the skip > method is documented and implemented so that it doesn't actually skip the > requested number of bytes, but simply tries to skip at most that amount of > bytes. A better name probably would have been trySkip or similar. > It seems like most of the time when the argument to skip is small enough, > we'll succeed almost all of the time. This is no doubt an implementation > artifact of some of the popular stream implementations. This tends to hide > the bug-- however, it is still waiting to emerge at some point if those > implementations ever change or if buffer sizes are adjusted, etc. > All of these cases can be fixed by calling IOUtils#skipFully to get the > behavior that the programmer expects-- i.e., skipping by the specified amount. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
