/**
 * A combination of {@link HttpRequestEncoder} and {@link HttpResponseDecoder}
 * which enables easier client side HTTP implementation. {@link HttpClientCodec}
 * provides additional state management for <tt>HEAD</tt> and <tt>CONNECT</tt>
 * requests, which {@link HttpResponseDecoder} lacks.  Please refer to
 * {@link HttpResponseDecoder} to learn what additional state management needs
 * to be done for <tt>HEAD</tt> and <tt>CONNECT</tt> and why
 * {@link HttpResponseDecoder} can not handle it by itself.
 * <p>
 * If the {@link Channel} is closed and there are missing responses,
 * a {@link PrematureChannelClosureException} is thrown.
 *
 * <h3>Header Validation</h3>
 *
 * It is recommended to always enable header validation.
 * <p>
 * Without header validation, your system can become vulnerable to
 * <a href="https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/113.html">
 *     CWE-113: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
 * </a>.
 * <p>
 * This recommendation stands even when both peers in the HTTP exchange are trusted,
 * as it helps with defence-in-depth.
