/**
 * Interface for formatting elements of the HEAD section of an HTTP message.
 * This is the complement to {@link LineParser}.
 * There are individual methods for formatting a request line, a
 * status line, or a header line. The formatting does not include the
 * trailing line break sequence CR-LF.
 * Instances of this interface are expected to be stateless and thread-safe.
 *
 * 
 * The formatted lines are returned in memory, the formatter does not depend
 * on any specific IO mechanism.
 * In order to avoid unnecessary creation of temporary objects,
 * a buffer can be passed as argument to all formatting methods.
 * The implementation may or may not actually use that buffer for formatting.
 * If it is used, the buffer will first be cleared by the
 * {@code formatXXX} methods.
 * The argument buffer can always be re-used after the call. The buffer
 * returned as the result, if it is different from the argument buffer,
 * MUST NOT be modified.
 *

 * @since 4.0
