Class HttpClientCodec

java.lang.Object
org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpClientCodec
All Implemented Interfaces:
ChannelDownstreamHandler, ChannelHandler, ChannelUpstreamHandler
public class HttpClientCodec extends Object implements ChannelUpstreamHandler, ChannelDownstreamHandler
A combination of HttpRequestEncoder and HttpResponseDecoder which enables easier client side HTTP implementation. HttpClientCodec provides additional state management for HEAD and CONNECT requests, which HttpResponseDecoder lacks. Please refer to HttpResponseDecoder to learn what additional state management needs to be done for HEAD and CONNECT and why HttpResponseDecoder can not handle it by itself. If the Channel gets closed and there are requests missing for a response a PrematureChannelClosureException is thrown.
