Has anyone tried out the DataInputStream.readUTF() and
DataOutputStream.writeUTF() methods?
From the source, it looks like readUTF() and writeUTF() methods expect
to find an unsigned short that indicates the number of bytes that follow
in the UTF string. As far as I can tell from the UTF standards I've
read, this is not part of the standard. Also, it seems to obviously
violate some of the features of UTF, such as that all ASCII bytes are
actually ASCII characters.
Can anyone clear this up?
