    Abstract: In an information processing system, a method and system are provided to perform 1/0 (Input/Output) operations for an interpretative based program (eg. a JAVA applet or application) that is executing on an Interpretative Machine (IM) ( eg. JAVA virtual machine). The method comprises the steps of: executing an interpretative based program on an Interpretative Machine (IM) ; receiving a request to pass data of unknown length out of the program; allocating a local buffer in the information processing unit to write the data of unknown length; writing the data of unknown length to the local buffer; determining the size of the data of unknown length in the local buffer; and passing the length of the data combined with the data in the buffer out of the program. This style of output conforms to http /1.0 protocol.
