[antlr-interest] Parse only <n> bytes from InputStream

Hi List,
I have written a small HTTP server in Java and like to parse input
from a HTTP PUT operation. The length of the input in bytes is
specified using the content-length header. I am able to parse the
stream that's coming in. So far, so good.
Problem is that the parser should close the Reader after a number of
bytes (the content-length) have been read. I could first store
everything the HTTP server recieves, and then parse that, but since I
want to process megabytes (and maybe gigabytes) caching things is not
really an option. I cannot specify and end of file symbol either
because that's not in the HTTP protocol.
Is there a way to make the parser stop after having read a given
number of bytes?
Cheers,
Andreas.
