TransferEncodingParser Class

Represents a parser for the Transfer-Encoding header.

Remarks

The Transfer-Encoding header is used to indicate the type of transfer encoding applied to the message. This header is a hop-by-hop header that is intended only for a transport-level mechanism and must be removed or replaced by the relevant transport-level context.

The TransferEncodingParser class provides functionality to parse and validate the format of the Transfer-Encoding header according to RFC 7230 and RFC 9110.
