> The last HTTP chunk can have trailing headers which could be useful to provide additional information that could be computed from the content of the HTTP message, such as 'Content-MD5'.  The current HttpMessageDecoder implementation simply discards the trailing headers, but they should be decoded correctly.  The decoded trailer should be part of the last chunk, which means a new subtype of HttpChunk (or HttpPartialMessage) must be introduced to provide additional header access methods and to represent the end of the content.
