/**
* Represents a parsed Transfer-Encoding HTTP response header.
*
*
* The form of encoding used to safely transfer the entity to the user.
* Currently defined methods are: chunked, compress, deflate, gzip, identity.
*
*
Example
*
* Transfer-Encoding: chunked
*
*
* RFC2616 Specification
*
* The Transfer-Encoding general-header field indicates what (if any) type of transformation has been applied to the
* message body in order to safely transfer it between the sender and the recipient.
* This differs from the content-coding in that the transfer-coding is a property of the message, not of the entity.
*
*
* Transfer-Encoding = "Transfer-Encoding" ":" 1#transfer-coding
*
*
*
* Transfer-codings are defined in section 3.6. An example is:
*
*
* Transfer-Encoding: chunked
*
*
*
* If multiple encodings have been applied to an entity, the transfer-codings MUST be listed in the order in which
* they were applied.
* Additional information about the encoding parameters MAY be provided by other entity-header fields not defined by
* this specification.
*
*
* Many older HTTP/1.0 applications do not understand the Transfer-Encoding header.
*
*
