[jdom-interest] Problems Creating a Document

[Godbey, David]

HttpURLConnection.getContentType. 

Hmm, what else? 
1. If the submitter sent UTF on the DataStream and you are reading regular
chars instead of UTF, you will have a problem due to the length bytes in
front of the string. 

2. Try trimming the string before feeding it to the parser. 

Hope this helps,
Dave

Hmmmm... The output stream side is not controlled by me unfortunately, it is
controlled by UPS.

Any way for me to figure out what ContentType they are sending?
