Hi all, For a project of mine I developed a class named TrailerInputStream, which reads from an InputStream whilst retaining a buffer of N bytes (the trailer), Once the stream has been exhausted, the final N bytes are obtained by calling the getTrailer() method.
I found it helpful for reading structured data in which the main contents of the stream are processed differently to the trailer at the end. Is there a place for something like this in IO? I can imagine a symmetric class called HeaderInputStream as well. Current code is at https://github.com/RNCryptor/JNCryptor/blob/streaming/src/main/java/org/cryptonode/jncryptor/TrailerInputStream.java. It's not yet in a fit state for submission, but isn't far away in terms of comment quality and unit tests.
