public interface HttpContent
extends HttpObject, ByteBufHolder

An HTTP chunk which is used for HTTP chunked transfer-encoding. HttpObjectDecoder generates HttpContent after HttpMessage when the content is large or the encoding of the content is 'chunked. If you prefer not to receive HttpContent in your handler, place HttpObjectAggregator after HttpObjectDecoder in the ChannelPipeline.
