Re: streams

Sounds like your best bet is to make a pump thread.  Basically create a
thread class with a Run method that continually pushes anything waiting
in the input stream to the output.  Something like this...

public class PumpThread implements Runnable {

  private InputStream in;
  private OutputStream out;

  public PumpThread(InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
    this.in = in;
    this.out = out;
  }

  public void Run() {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    while ((buffer = in.read()) != null) {
      out.write(buffer);
    }
  }

}

I didn't try the code and it's been awhile, so I might've pulled some
reader/writer methods into the streams (or just misused a method or two
all together).  It could also probably benefit by adjusting the byte
array size and including a Thread.sleep() (unless you're using a
BufferedReader).  Hope that helps.
