/**
* This class encapsulates a HTTP request received and a
* response to be generated in one exchange. It provides methods
* for examining the request from the client, and for building and
* sending the response.
*
* The typical life-cycle of a HttpExchange is shown in the sequence
* below.
*
- {@link #getRequestMethod()} to determine the command
*
- {@link #getRequestHeaders()} to examine the request headers (if needed)
*
- {@link #getRequestBody()} returns a {@link java.io.InputStream} for reading the request body.
* After reading the request body, the stream is close.
*
- {@link #getResponseHeaders()} to set any response headers, except content-length
*
- {@link #sendResponseHeaders(int,long)} to send the response headers. Must be called before
* next step.
*
- {@link #getResponseBody()} to get a {@link java.io.OutputStream} to send the response body.
* When the response body has been written, the stream must be closed to terminate the exchange.
*
* Terminating exchanges
*
* Exchanges are terminated when both the request InputStream and response OutputStream are closed.
* Closing the OutputStream, implicitly closes the InputStream (if it is not already closed).
* However, it is recommended
* to consume all the data from the InputStream before closing it.
* The convenience method {@link #close()} does all of these tasks.
* Closing an exchange without consuming all of the request body is not an error
* but may make the underlying TCP connection unusable for following exchanges.
* The effect of failing to terminate an exchange is undefined, but will typically
* result in resources failing to be freed/reused.
* @since 1.6
