// Stuff here...

match stream.read_byte() {
    Ok(d) => altbuf.push(d),
    Err(e) => { pri

To print bytes as a UTF-8 string, use std::str::from_utf8 when the bytes may be malformed. Use the unsafe std::str::from_utf8_unchecked when the bytes are always valid UTF-8.

println!("{}", std::str::from_utf8(&altbuf).unwrap());
