/**
 * HTTP protocol interceptor is a routine that implements a specific aspect of
 * the HTTP protocol. Usually protocol interceptors are expected to act upon
 * one specific header or a group of related headers of the incoming message
 * or populate the outgoing message with one specific header or a group of
 * related headers. Protocol
 * 
 * Interceptors can also manipulate content entities enclosed with messages.
 * Usually this is accomplished by using the 'Decorator' pattern where a wrapper
 * entity class is used to decorate the original entity.
 * 
 * Protocol interceptors must be implemented as thread-safe. Similarly to
 * servlets, protocol interceptors should not use instance variables unless
 * access to those variables is synchronized.
