Encodes an HttpMessage or an HttpContent into a ByteBuf.

Extensibility

Please note that this encoder is designed to be extended to implement a protocol derived from HTTP, such as RTSP and ICAP. To implement the encoder of such a derived protocol, extend this class and implement all abstract methods properly.
