How do I send an EOF for a Java InputStream element?

So I have the following code to open the input stream and successfully collect information:

httpInput = httpconnection.openInputStream();               

             sb= new StringBuffer();             

             while (ch != -1) 
             {
                 ch = httpInput.read();
                 sb.append((char)ch);
             }

However, when I try to use the same string (sb. Tostring()) in another method, I receive an error saying "expect the end of the file." So how do I append EOF characters to my string? Note: the response is basically an XML document from a remote server

So when the code reaches the "parse" line, it will give the above error:

bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(sb.toString(). getBytes()); doc = docBuilder. parse(bis);

If you only want to read the stream into a byte array, try ioutilities streamToBytes()
