java.lang.Exception: sun.io.MalformedInputException

Hi,
I am trying to read an html file which is in French from buffer reader and I am getting java.lang.Exception: sun.io.MalformedInputException. I am attaching the html file and java code which reads the file. Please let me know what is going wrong here.

THank you

Below is the HTML code
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Council Template</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2>RÈGLEMENTS</h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h1>CHEVALIERS DE COLOMB</h1>
<h2></h2>
<h2></h2>
<br/>

<br />
</body>
</html>

and java code is

InputStream ins = PdfUtil.class.getResourceAsStream(htmlFile);



            Reader in = new InputStreamReader(ins, "UTF-8");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
            String linetext = br.readLine();
            while (linetext != null) {
                  // Convert Line Code
                  if (linetext.indexOf("<%") > 0) {
                        if (!isLoop) {
                              isLoop = true;
                              forLoop = new ForLoop(linetext);
                              linetext = null;
                        } else {
                              linetext = forLoop.generateLoop().toString();
                              isLoop = false;
                        }
                  }
                  if (isLoop)
                        forLoop.add(linetext);
                  else
                        newHtmlFile.append(linetext);
                  linetext = br.readLine();
            }
            br.close();

I am getting below exception at br.readLine()
java.lang.Exception: sun.io.MalformedInputException

instead of
Reader in = new InputStreamReader(ins, "UTF-8");
try with:
Reader in = new InputStreamReader(ins);

CEHJ

It's probably not UTF-8. You need to read it with the same encoding as was used to write it.

how do you get this file? if it is with http request, then the charset is presented in the header.
