Class ArmoredInputStream

java.lang.Object

java.io.InputStream

org.bouncycastle.bcpg.ArmoredInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

public class ArmoredInputStream
extends java.io.InputStream

reader for Base64 armored objects - read the headers and then start returning bytes when the data is reached. An IOException is thrown if the CRC check is detected and fails.

By default a missing CRC will not cause an exception. To force CRC detection use: ArmoredInputStream aIn = [] aIn.setDetectMissingCRC(true);

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
ArmoredInputStream(java.io.InputStream in) Create a stream for reading a PGP armoured message, parsing up to a header and then reading the data that follows.
ArmoredInputStream(java.io.InputStream in, boolean hasHeaders) Create an armoured input stream which will assume the data starts straight away, or parse for headers first depending on the value of hasHeaders.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	available()
void	close()
java.lang.String	getArmorHeaderLine() Return the armor header line (if there is one)
java.lang.String[]	getArmorHeaders() Return the armor headers (the lines after the armor header line),
boolean	isClearText()
boolean	isEndOfStream()
int	read()
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len) Reads up to len bytes of data from the input stream into an array of bytes.
void	setDetectMissingCRC(boolean detectMissing) Change how the stream should react if it encounters missing CRC checksum.

Constructor Detail

ArmoredInputStream

public ArmoredInputStream(java.io.InputStream in)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Create a stream for reading a PGP armoured message, parsing up to a header and then reading the data that follows.

Parameters:

in -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

ArmoredInputStream

public ArmoredInputStream(java.io.InputStream in,
                          boolean hasHeaders)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Create an armoured input stream which will assume the data starts straight away, or parse for headers first depending on the value of hasHeaders.

Parameters:

in -

hasHeaders - true if headers are to be looked for, false otherwise.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

available

public int available()
              throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

available in class java.io.InputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

isClearText

public boolean isClearText()

Returns:

true if we are inside the clear text section of a PGP signed message.

isEndOfStream

public boolean isEndOfStream()

Returns:

true if the stream is actually at end of file.

getArmorHeaderLine

public java.lang.String getArmorHeaderLine()

Return the armor header line (if there is one)

Returns:

the armor header line, null if none present.

getArmorHeaders

public java.lang.String[] getArmorHeaders()

Return the armor headers (the lines after the armor header line),

Returns:

an array of armor headers, null if there aren't any.

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

read in class java.io.InputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws java.io.IOException

Reads up to len bytes of data from the input stream into an array of bytes. An attempt is made to read as many as len bytes, but a smaller number may be read. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer. The first byte read is stored into element b[off], the next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to len. NOTE: We need to override the custom behavior of Java's InputStream.read(byte[], int, int), as the upstream method silently swallows IOExceptions. This would cause CRC checksum errors to go unnoticed.

Overrides:

read in class java.io.InputStream

Parameters:

b - byte array

off - offset at which we start writing data to the array

len - number of bytes we write into the array

Returns:

total number of bytes read into the buffer

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an exception happens AT ANY POINT

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in class java.io.InputStream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

setDetectMissingCRC

public void setDetectMissingCRC(boolean detectMissing)

Change how the stream should react if it encounters missing CRC checksum. The default value is false (ignore missing CRC checksums). If the behavior is set to true, an IOException will be thrown if a missing CRC checksum is encountered.

Parameters:

detectMissing - ignore missing CRC sums
