I do not see how this can be the case. Per the Phobos spec for InputStream, "Read a block of data big enough to fill the given array buffer. " This sounds to me like it should do just that, fill my array....and not return until done. readLine needs to be looped because it only reads up to a carriage return / newline combination (and there are multiple lines). Can anyone confirm that my speculations are correct? Otherwise, the documentation seems misleading and I will need help with a correct implementation.
