Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`close()` Releases the resources associated with the stream.
`boolean`	`hasNextChunk()` Returns `true` if and only if there is any data left in the stream.
`boolean`	`isEndOfInput()` Return `true` if and only if there is no data left in the stream and the stream has reached at its end.
`Object`	`nextChunk()` Fetches a chunked data from the stream.

- Method Detail
  - hasNextChunk
```
boolean hasNextChunk()
                     throws Exception
```
    Returns true if and only if there is any data left in the stream. Please note that false does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception
  - nextChunk
```
Object nextChunk()
                 throws Exception
```
    Fetches a chunked data from the stream. The returned chunk is usually a ChannelBuffer, but you could extend an existing implementation to convert the ChannelBuffer into a different type that your handler or encoder understands. Once this method returns the last chunk and thus the stream has reached at its end, any subsequent isEndOfInput() call must return false.
    
    Returns:
    the fetched chunk, which is usually ChannelBuffer. null if there is no data left in the stream. Please note that null does not necessarily mean that the stream has reached at its end. In a slow stream, the next chunk might be unavailable just momentarily.
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception
  - isEndOfInput
```
boolean isEndOfInput()
                     throws Exception
```
    Return true if and only if there is no data left in the stream and the stream has reached at its end.
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception
  - close
```
void close()
           throws Exception
```
    Releases the resources associated with the stream.
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception
