Class HttpMessageEncoder

java.lang.Object

org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.oneone.OneToOneEncoder

org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpMessageEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelDownstreamHandler, ChannelHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

HttpRequestEncoder, HttpResponseEncoder, RtspMessageEncoder

public abstract class HttpMessageEncoder
extends OneToOneEncoder

Encodes an HttpMessage or an HttpChunk into a ChannelBuffer.
