Network file transfer

[imagenesis at gmail.com]

If you dont want to conform to http or some other standard, you're free to
send whatever you like. For example, you're free to send something like:

file:c:/myfiles/myfilepath.txt\n

Add a string delimiter and string parser to the pipeline and then in the
messageReceived use regex to parse the string your server sent. Or you can
use the http classes to parse the request and send a params request like:
http://localhost:8080/?file=c:/myfiles/myfilepath.txt or a path to the file
http://localhost:8080

The logic to stream the file is similar to whatever you did in C#.  I think
that you are not receiving messageRecieved because of some oversight.

I feel really bad about my previous comment and it has no place on these
forums for a great product like netty and user adoption.
