/**
 * HttpServerKeepAliveHandler helps close persistent connections when appropriate.
 * 
 * The server channel is expected to set the proper 'Connection' header if it can handle persistent connections. {@link
 * HttpServerKeepAliveHandler} will automatically close the channel for any LastHttpContent that corresponds to a client
 * request for closing the connection, or if the HttpResponse associated with that LastHttpContent requested closing the
 * connection or didn't have a self defined message length.
 * 

 * Since {@link HttpServerKeepAliveHandler} expects {@link HttpObject}s it should be added after {@link HttpServerCodec}
 * but before any other handlers that might send a {@link HttpResponse}. 

 *  *  {@link ChannelPipeline} p = ...;
 *  ...
 *  p.addLast("serverCodec", new {@link HttpServerCodec}());
 *  p.addLast("httpKeepAlive", new {@link HttpServerKeepAliveHandler}());
 *  p.addLast("aggregator", new {@link HttpObjectAggregator}(1048576));
 *  ...
 *  p.addLast("handler", new HttpRequestHandler());
