Netty has problem to deal with the "Connection: close" message.


I have tomcat server which sends back "Connection: close" for every 100th
reply. I noticed that netty had problem to deal with it.

1:) netty thinks it is still a "chunked" response. So for the first
messageReceive() call, there is no content.
2:) netty think the "connection: close", and it closes the channel.

There is no way to get the content.  

I am pasting the tcpdump for 99th and 100th request/response. You will see
there is "Connection: close" header for 100th message.

This is a big issue for us, could you please look at it? 
Thanks a million.
