I do, it's just not in that code snippet.

I don't recall the content-type off the top of my head (and I don't have 
the source of the sending app at hand), and I don't use 
req.getParameter() at all.  But the code works; it just seems to be a 
little slow.

At this point, it's still encrypted, and a string may not properly 
handle some of the bytes.  I don't make it a string until I'm done 
decrypting it (forgot to mention that point in my original post).

What method would you suggest?  Create the byte array long enough to 
handle any possible input and then read without specifying the length?

Thanks!
