Method Summary
`int` `doRead(ByteChunk chunk, Request req)` Write some bytes.
`long` `end()` End the current request.
`ByteChunk` `getEncodingName()` Return the name of the associated encoding; Here, the value is "void".
`void` `recycle()` Make the filter ready to process the next request.

Method Detail

### doRead

    public int doRead(ByteChunk chunk,
                      Request req)
               throws java.io.IOException

  Write some bytes.

  Specified by:
    `doRead` in interface `InputFilter`
  Returns:
    number of bytes written by the filter
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### setRequest

    public void setRequest(Request request)

  Set the associated reauest.

  Specified by:
    `setRequest` in interface `InputFilter`

### setBuffer

    public void setBuffer(InputBuffer buffer)

  Set the next buffer in the filter pipeline.

  Specified by:
    `setBuffer` in interface `InputFilter`

### recycle

    public void recycle()

  Make the filter ready to process the next request.

  Specified by:
    `recycle` in interface `InputFilter`

### getEncodingName

    public ByteChunk getEncodingName()

  Return the name of the associated encoding; Here, the value is "void".

  Specified by:
    `getEncodingName` in interface `InputFilter`

### end

    public long end()
             throws java.io.IOException

  End the current request. It is acceptable to write extra bytes using buffer.doWrite during the execution of this method.

  Specified by:
    `end` in interface `InputFilter`
  Returns:
    Should return 0 unless the filter does some content length delimitation, in which case the number is the amount of extra bytes or missing bytes, which would indicate an error. Note: It is recommended that extra bytes be swallowed by the filter.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
