44  * Interface for parsing lines in the HEAD section of an HTTP message.
45  * There are individual methods for parsing a request line, a
46  * status line, or a header line.
47  * The lines to parse are passed in memory, the parser does not depend
48  * on any specific IO mechanism.
49  * Instances of this interface are expected to be stateless and thread-safe.
