Hi Max,

thank you for your replay. Please see inline.

readAllBytes() blocks until all remaining data has been read and end of 
stream is detected.
So if I understood your scenario correctly, yes, if EOF is not present 
it will hang. AFAIK when KeyStore.load completes successfully it 
consumes the input stream until EOF, so isn't it ok to expect it?

Yes, I think it is possible to read data by portions, but unfortunately 
straight forward approach like "while(is.available() !=0)" won't work. 
As soon as we reach the end of the first stream in SequenceInputStream 
sequence is.available() will return 0 until we switch to the next stream 
by calling read(). I'm afraid it will look a little bit confusing.

It asks for some investigation. Should I create a separate issue?

Thank you,
Svetlana
