Couple of questions about HttpMessageDecoder

["이희승 (Trustin Lee)"]

Hi Bruno,

Yes, your assumption is correct. :-) The current implementation always
generate an HttpRequest object with no content when
HttpRequest.isChunked() returns true, as described in the Javadoc:

    /**
     * Returns {@code true} if and only if this message does not have
     * any content but the {@link HttpChunk}s, which is generated by
     * {@link HttpMessageDecoder} consecutively, contain the actual
     * content.
     * ...
     */
    boolean isChunked();

HTH,
Trustin
