Description lejingw 2017-07-13 02:40:31 UTC
in the construtor method of `org.apache.poi.hssf.record.HeaderFooterBase#HeaderFooterBase(org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordInputStream)`, it will throw RecordFormatException in the method call `in.readByte()` when variable field_1_footer_len equals to 0 

the constrator is as follows:

	protected HeaderFooterBase(RecordInputStream in) {
		if (in.remaining() > 0) {
			int field_1_footer_len = in.readShort();
			field_2_hasMultibyte = in.readByte() != 0x00;

			if (field_2_hasMultibyte) {
				field_3_text = in.readUnicodeLEString(field_1_footer_len);
			} else {
				field_3_text = in.readCompressedUnicode(field_1_footer_len);
			}
		} else {
			// Note - this is unusual for BIFF records in general, but normal for header / footer records:
			// when the text is empty string, the whole record is empty (just the 4 byte BIFF header)
			field_3_text = "";
		}
	}

and the exception stack is as follows:

Thank you for opening this issue and sharing a triggering document.  I'm not able to reproduce this with trunk.  Are you using 3.17-beta1 or an earlier version of POI?

Doh.  Right, you selected 3.16-final above.  This looks to be fixed now.  Please reopen if you are having problems with 3.17-beta1.
