I have a handy function that I've used in Java for converting an InputStream to a String. Here is a direct translation to Scala:
def inputStreamToString(is: InputStream) = {
val rd: BufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"))
val builder = new StringBuilder()
try {
var line = rd.readLine
while (line != null) {
builder.append(line + "\n")
line = rd.readLine
}
} finally {
rd.close
}
builder.toString
}
Is there an idiomatic way to do this in scala?
