This code is part of a class I made to do this (In this case I needed to
grab the first 128 or so bytes of SWF files so I could parse the display
dimensions):
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(buildUrl(url));
try (CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(get)) {
SwfInfo info =
SwfInfo.generateInfo(response.getEntity().getContent());
}
where generateInfo() takes the input stream from getEntity().getContent()
and then closes it:
private static byte[] getBytes(InputStream fis) {
try{
< read bytes from the input stream>
} finally {
if (fis != null) {
try {
fis.close();
} catch (IOException ee) {
}
}
}
