HDR Radiance format .. imread / imwrite (Feature #4069)

Hello, I am implementing HDR Radiance format support to my app and even if it is not documented I see that recent OpenCV 3.0 beta supports it.
This is maybe the known bug, but since I would like to see this working I decided to write a bug report.

Basically most of the HDR files I have downloaded from various websites cannot be loaded using 'imread'. There is an error message pointing out that there is new line character missing in the header.

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (RGBE bad file format: missing blank line after FORMAT specifier) in rgbe_error, file ..\..\..\..\opencv\modules\imgcodecs\src\rgbe.cpp, line 97

I looked inside the files and there seems to be new line where it suppose to be. I did not tried to compile OpenCV and debug that. I managed to open all HDR files in XnView with no problems.

What I am using is included java library, so maybe there are some problems with binaries. I run on Windows 7 64bit system. I managed to open few smaller HDR files .. so it feels more like the code is not robust enough. I had to write my own HDR importer, yesterday I tried to write HDR using 'imwrite' which is also not documented but you mention it here on your page :

"http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tutorials/photo/hdr_imaging/hdr_imaging.html" .. so I was assuming that at least imwrite works correctly, but the files cannot be opened with any other image reader app I have, it can be opened fine with imread but I need it for exporting purposes.

I hope you can fix that, I switched to OpenCV from another system and I like it more. Keep up good work.
