[JBoss JIRA] Closed: (NETTY-251) Add support for HTTP trailing headers

[Trustin Lee (JIRA)]

     [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/NETTY-251?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Trustin Lee closed NETTY-251.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Done


HttpChunkTrailer (the subtype of HttpChunk) has been added to represent the trailer.   HttpMessageDecoder now fully decodes the trailing headesr and generates a new HttpChunkTrailer that contains the decoded trailing headers.

> 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.
