In my question before, I mentioned, my `OutputStream` would do strange things. that is past now, but suddenly a wild further problem appeared. I do not know, how I can read out my `InputStream`. I had it so far, I could read Byte for Byte, but that is not what i want. I want a variable length-readIn, I mean if 3 Bytes are send i just want to read 3 Bytes, if 9 Bytes are send I want to read 9 Bytes. 

*Here's my Code:*
