Motivation: When Content-Encoding is deflate or gzip and Content-Length is 0, there's no need to generate an empty stream (e.g. 20-byte gzip stream). We can just produce nothing. At least, it works fine with most modern browsers. Also, we can skip the instantiation of an encoder entirely by instantiating it lazily. Modifications: Backport HttpContentEncoderTest from 4.0 Add similar tests for HttpContentCompressor to ensure the same tests work with compression. Result: Fixes issue #2321

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
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 versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
