GET request with body

[Trustin Lee (이희승)]

Just to confirm Frederic's explanation - Yes, Netty HttpMessageDecoder
allows both empty and non-empty content in any HTTP request.  If
there's nither 'Content-Length' nor 'Transfer-encoding: chunked'
header in the request, then the decoder will assume an empty content.
Otherwise, it will read the content as described in the header.
