Reading InputStream of NANOHTTPD gives Socket TimeOut Exception - inputstream

Question

I am trying to read the InputStream from IHTTPSession.getInputStream() using the following code but its gives Socket TimeOut Exception every time.
private String readInStream(InputStream in){
StringBuffer outBuffer=new StringBuffer();
BufferedInputStream bis=new BufferedInputStream(in);
try {
while(bis.available()>0){
int ch= bis.read();
outBuffer.append((char)ch);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.e("DATA_Length", "outputBuffer :"+outBuffer.toString().length());
return outBuffer.toString();
}
i also tried the following Method but the same exception arises
private String readInStream(InputStream in){
String line="";
StringBuffer outBuffer=new StringBuffer();
BufferedReader rd=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
try {
while((line=rd.readLine()) != null){
outBuffer.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("IOException", "IOException in readInStream:");
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.e("DATA_Length", "outputBuffer :"+outBuffer.toString().length());
return outBuffer.toString();
}

Answer 1

Getting the content length from the header and reading up to it solved the problem.

Answer 2

Can confirm the accepted answer works (getting content length from the header and reading up to it). Here is some example code to turn the InputStream into a String:
try {
int contentLength = Integer.valueOf(session.getHeaders().get("content-length"));
String msg = new String(in.readNBytes(contentLength)); // the request body
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
If you want to prevent a NullPointerException here, check whether the content-length header actually exists before parsing it to an integer.
