Java – Get the content of inputStream from HttpServletRequest
Recently, i got a support case and it is about the inconsistency of the content length declared in the http header and the actual content length of the http request.
So i modified an existing program which will get the http request and manipulate it. I add some codes such that it will get the request inputStream and count it byte by byte before the request manipulation.

Spain Journey Review – Valencia
結束陽光與海灘，向 Valencia 出發！
Valencia

西班牙的第三大城市，以工業與華倫西亞橙而聞名。羅馬人係公元前兩世紀曾統治此地，之後同樣被回教徒與西哥德人佔領，市中心就可看到不少歷史建築。每年3月12日到19日，當地都會舉行西班牙三大節之一，就是華倫西亞的火祭 Las Fallas。火祭的目的是為了紀念耶穌的父親聖若瑟，19日的聖若瑟日就是火祭的高潮。係火祭其間，西班牙人會穿著特別的西班牙傳統服飾的 Falleros 和 Falleras 的遊行，又會焚燒木做的人偶，整個 Valencia 都會擠滿遊客。

Spain Journey Review – Toledo
去完 Segovia 就回到 Madrid 睡了一晚，等二日就出發到Toledo。就是這天遇到很醜的肥大嬸… =.=
Toledo
簡介
Toledo 的歷史並不比 Segovia 遜色，它的歷史由西哥德人係507年揭開了入侵伊比利半島的序幕，到現在已有1500年歷史。西哥德王於560年將 Toledo 定為首都，之後經歷過由北非來的回教徒的統治，然後被卡斯提爾王國收復，到了1561年先至遷都到 Madrid 。 可見 Toledo 係西班牙歷史中佔了很重的戲份，係西班牙政治與文化的中心。而這古都也融合了回教、猶太教與基督教的文化，這可從市內的建築看得到。
