Socket, BufferedReader hangs at readLine()

Question

I have a server which initially does this:-

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
for (;;) {
  String cmdLine =          


        

Answer 1

eee's solution works perfectly. I was trying to read output from an SMTP conversation but it would block on:

while ((response = br.readLine()) != null) {
    ...Do Stuff
}

Changing to:

while (br.ready()) {
    response = br.readLine();
    ...Do Stuff
}

I can read everything just fine. br is a BufferedReader object, BTW.
