/**
 * 
 * Provides an input stream for reading binary data from a client
 * request, including an efficient <code>readLine method
 * for reading data one line at a time. With some protocols, such
 * as HTTP POST and PUT, a <code>ServletInputStream
 * object can be used to read data sent from the client.
 *
 * <p>A ServletInputStream object is normally retrieved via
 * the {@link ServletRequest#getInputStream} method.
 *
 *
 * <p>This is an abstract class that a servlet container implements.
 * Subclasses of this class
 * must implement the <code>java.io.InputStream.read() method.
