2.4.3. HTTP Implementation HTTP is definitely the most popular protocol in the Internet. There are already a number of HTTP implementations such as a Servlet container. Then why does Netty have HTTP on top of its core? Netty's HTTP support is very different from the existing HTTP libraries. It gives you complete control over how HTTP messages are exchanged in a low level. Because it is basically the combination of HTTP codec and HTTP message classes, there is no restriction such as enforced thread model. That is, you can write your own HTTP client or server that works exactly the way you want. You have full control over thread model, connection life cycle, chunked encoding, and as much as what HTTP specification allows you to do.
