56 * <h3>Decoding a response for a <tt>HEAD</tt> request</h3>
57 * <p>
58 * Unlike other HTTP requests, the successful response of a <tt>HEAD</tt>
59 * request does not have any content even if there is <tt>Content-Length</tt>
60 * header. Because {@link HttpResponseDecoder} is not able to determine if the
61 * response currently being decoded is associated with a <tt>HEAD</tt> request,
62 * you must override {@link #isContentAlwaysEmpty(HttpMessage)} to return
63 * <tt>true</tt> for the response of the <tt>HEAD</tt> request.
64 * </p><p>
65 * If you are writing an HTTP client that issues a <tt>HEAD</tt> request,
66 * please use {@link HttpClientCodec} instead of this decoder. It will perform
67 * additional state management to handle the responses for <tt>HEAD</tt>
68 * requests correctly.
69 * </p>
70 *
71 * <h3>Decoding a response for a <tt>CONNECT</tt> request</h3>
72 * <p>
73 * You also need to do additional state management to handle the response of a
74 * <tt>CONNECT</tt> request properly, like you did for <tt>HEAD</tt>. One
75 * difference is that the decoder should stop decoding completely after decoding
76 * the successful 200 response since the connection is not an HTTP connection
77 * anymore.
78 * </p><p>
79 * {@link HttpClientCodec} also handles this edge case correctly, so you have to
80 * use {@link HttpClientCodec} if you are writing an HTTP client that issues a
81 * <tt>CONNECT</tt> request.
