Hi Andrew,

AFAIK READ-IO is not guaranteed to return the asked length; it
returns UP TO the asked length of data, but does not wait for it
to arrive if it is not there. (Anyone correct me if I don't recall
correctly; I no more used READ-IO after the NO-WAIT mode has been
introduced.)

READ-IO is basically the same as COPY on a BINARY/NO-WAIT port,
except for the need to allocate a properly sized buffer. So you
can replace you code with something like:
set-modes system/ports/input [binary: true no-wait: true]
data: copy system/ports/input
while [content-length > length? data] [
wait system/ports/input
insert tail data copy system/ports/input
]
(WARNING: not tested)

Gabriele.
