Thanks @RogerRiggs  for your review.

Just want to make sure:

  1. AFAIK, for a method, it seems impossible to return a value and throw an exception at the same time.
     Did you mean we just need to return a string with the IOException to be catched?

  2. Does it make sense to return a string when an IOException happens?

Thanks.
