HEAD method in HttpResponseDecoder

["이희승 (Trustin Lee)"]

Check the 'Decoding a response for a HEAD request' section:


http://docs.jboss.org/netty/3.2/api/org/jboss/netty/handler/codec/http/HttpResponseDecoder.html

In short, please use HttpClientCodec instead, which handles such request
types properly.
