public interface ContentProvider
extends Iterable<ByteBuffer>

ContentProvider provides a source of request content.

Implementations should return an Iterator over the request content. If the request content comes from a source that needs to be closed (for example, an InputStream), then the iterator implementation class must implement Closeable and will be closed when the request is completed (either successfully or failed).

Applications should rely on utility classes such as ByteBufferContentProvider or PathContentProvider.
