Congratulations on finding the bug's cause and the fix.
What I can't figure out, though, is why it worked on XP.
AFAIK, a BufferedReader is identical on both platforms, and if it's reading
too far ahead into the content body, then I would expect similar
(mis)behavior on XP. Yet you said the code worked on an XP-to-XP
connection.
I understand that you may not be interested in solving this mystery. I was
really just wondering if you'd found any reason along the way as to why it
would have worked on XP. I'm curious because this seemed to me to be an
important misleading clue, pointing at platform-specific differences rather
than a portable bug in the code.
