title: Using Java 11 HttpClient to read chunked data
body: <p>I'm trying to read chunked data from an Http Response using Java 11's java.net.http.HttpClient, but I'm only getting one line at a time.  I need to get an entire chunk at a time.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    final InputStream eventStream;
  
      try {
          HttpResponse&lt;InputStream&gt; httpResponse = httpClient.send(HttpRequest
                  .newBuilder(
                          new URI(this.config.getEnvironmentAccess().getUrl() + ":&lt;port&gt;/status/?pretty=true"))
                  .GET().build(), BodyHandlers.ofInputStream());
  
          LOGGER.info("event stream HttpResponse received");
          LOGGER.info("statusCode: {}", httpResponse.statusCode());
          LOGGER.info("headers: {}", httpResponse.headers());
          LOGGER.info("version: {}", httpResponse.version());
          LOGGER.info("request: {}", httpResponse.request());
  
          eventStream = httpResponse.body();
      } catch (IOException | InterruptedException | URISyntaxException e) {
          throw new RuntimeException("Unable to get status event stream", e);
      }
  
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(eventStream));
      String line = "";
  
      try {
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
              LOGGER.info("readLine(): {}", line);
          }
      } catch (IOException e) {
          throw new RuntimeException("Unable to read status event stream", e);
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I'm getting the response(s) as individual lines:</p>

  <p>I realize that's because I'm using a BufferedReader and telling it to log each line as I get it, but I don't know how to read the lines as chunks. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me figure out how to read the chunks atomically so that I can parse them as JSON, one event at a time?</p>
