Carriage return and new line with Java and readLine()

Question

I am using the following code to establish a HTTP connection and read data:

con = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(\"http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.j         


        

Answer 1

From the javadocs:

public String readLine() throws IOException

Read a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
Returns:
A String containing the contents of the line, not including any line-termination characters, or null if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs
