Interface HttpProcessor
- All Superinterfaces: 
- HttpRequestInterceptor, HttpResponseInterceptor
- All Known Implementing Classes: 
- BasicHttpProcessor, ImmutableHttpProcessor
- public interface HttpProcessor 
- extends HttpRequestInterceptor, HttpResponseInterceptor
HTTP protocol processor is a collection of protocol interceptors that
 implements the 'Chain of Responsibility' pattern, where each individual
 protocol interceptor is expected to work on a particular aspect of the HTTP
 protocol the interceptor is responsible for.
 
 Usually the order in which interceptors are executed should not matter as
 long as they do not depend on a particular state of the execution context.
 If protocol interceptors have interdependencies and therefore must be
 executed in a particular order, they should be added to the protocol
 processor in the same sequence as their expected execution order.
 
 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.
