hi,
i have made a program that downloads a file from an Internet sites in 2 chunks. I am sending request for first half of the total byte size of the file and then reading the Input Stream of the server socket byte by byte into a file.Same thing I do for the second chunk of bytes( I append to the same file). Now with each response from the server, a header comes with the byte chunk....................so in the file those headers are also written(two times, one for each request). E.g when i downloaded a .java file, I got the final file as

You can see two headers, one at the start and one in between. Now how do i remove these headers from the file, or how do i check the header content to get written to the file when i am reading from the input stream of the socket.

please help....its urgent.........

Just retrieve the document size and partial size from the HTTP headers, and copy only the document part to the output file.
The header is separated from the rest by two consecutive CR-LF, so it's easy to detect the header end.
