> Hi,
> The BOMInputStream works great for most UTF encoded files when detecting Byte Order Marks. However, if a file is UTF-32LE encoded with BOM the class takes it as UTF-16LE instead. This is not expected behavior.
> The problem comes from method getBOM(). And the first two bytes for UTF-16LE and UTF-32LE are the same, which might be the root cause of the problem.
> The following lists the bytes for UTF encodings for reference. The content is a BOM followed by letter 't'.
> ||Encoding||Byte 1||Byte 2||Byte 3||Byte 4|| || || || ||
> |UTF8|EF|BB|BF|74| | | | |
> |UTF16-LE|FF|FE|74|00| | | | |
> |UTF16-BE|FE|FF|00|74| | | | |
> |UTF32-LE|FF|FE|00|00|74|00|00|00
> |UTF32-BE|00|00|FE|FF|00|00|00|74
> I personally used the following code to work around this problem at the moment. Hope it helps.
> {code}
