> Is it possible to say to a BufferedReader stream "give me all the bytes you have available in the buffer, or do one OS call and give me everything you get back"? The problem is that the "number of bytes" argument to read1() isn't optional, so I can't do available_bytes = fd.read1().

Just specify large size.
