Motivation 4.0 was not modified in the same time than 4.1 while the difference was limited. Include the fix on "=" character in Boundary. Issue #3004 shows that "=" character was not supported as it should in the HttpPostRequestDecoder in form-data boundary. Modifications: Backport from 4.1 to 4.0 while respecting interfaces. Add 2 methods in StringUtil - split with maxParm argument: String split with max parts only (to prevent multiple '=' to be source of extra split while not needed) - substringAfter: String part after delimiter (since first part is not needed) Use those methods in HttpPostRequestDecoder. Change and the HttpPostRequestDecoderTest to check using a boundary beginning with "=". Results: Backport done (Issue #2886 fix) Issue #3004 fix too The fix implies more stability and fix the relative issues.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
