[Cryptix-users] Read tried past end of inputstream.

[<Gre...@ri...>]

Hello,

If the pgp files are > 10KB we were having trouble decrypting messages 
with and error "Read tried past end of inputstream".  There were a couple 
of previous similar messages but none of any help. 

We are using the EncryptedMessage decrypt(..) method to extract the 
payload (as per examples).

eg:

msg = emsg.decrypt(bundle, passPhrase.toCharArray()); 

Looks like there is a mistake where it does not read the bytes correctly. 
The change below seems to address the problem. 

cryptix.openpgp.io.PGPLengthDataInputStream in the 
cryptix-openpgp-provider.jar

line #157 needs to be amended:

// } else if (chunkLength > chunkBytesRead) {
    } else if (chunkBytesRead <= chunkLength ) {

Now seems to work OK.

I think the change now reads upto but not the last byte, so the next read 
works as expected.  The < 10KB  files never got to this code as the read 
was done in one go.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Greg
