Urgent: get only half-data from InputStream

Question

Hello,
I am using a client socket (java code) to get the data from server socket(Perl code), the getInputStream( ) get only the half-data from server. For example: the data in server is 12345678, what the client to get is 1357.
Both socket use stream socket, tcp protocol,
inBuffer = new BufferedInputStream(misClientSocket.getInputStream());
while( (ch=inBuffer.read()) != -1 ){     
System.out.print((char)inBuffer.read());
or System.out.print((byte)inBuffer.read());
even if I don't use BufferedInputStream, directly to use InputStream.read( ), it also get half-data.
Please help me to know what is wrong!!!
Thanks
Lixin

You just get every other byte because you call inBuffer.read() twice each time : once in the while condition then once in the while body. Just try this :
inBuffer = new BufferedInputStream (misClientSocket.getInputStream());
int ch;
while( (ch=inBuffer.read()) != -1 ){
System.out.print((byte)ch);
