int InputStream.read(byte[] buffer) returns the number of bytes read, the 
data is stored in buffer. int InputStream.read() returns a single byte of 
from the input.
If the response is multiple bytes you'll probably want to use the version 
with a byte buffer as generaly it's faster (one call for multiple bytes.)

BTW. The method information (including the three parameter read) can be
found in the JavaDocs of InputStream that is included in the J2SDK
distribution.
