Motivation: The class `HttpPostRequestEncoder` has minor issues: - The `encodeNextChunkMultipart()` method contains two identical blocks of code with a difference only in the cast interfaces: `Attribute` vs `HttpData`. Because the `Attribute` is extended by `HttpData`, the block with the `Attribute` can be safely deleted. - The `getNewMultipartDelimiter()` method contains a redundant `toLowerCase()`. - The `addBodyFileUploads()` method throws `NPE` instead of `IllegalArgumentException`. Modifications: - Remove duplicated code block from `encodeNextChunkMultipart()`. - Remove redundant `toLowerCase()` from `getNewMultipartDelimiter()`. - Replace `NPE` with `IllegalArgumentException` in `addBodyFileUploads()`. - Use `ObjectUtil#checkNotNull` where possible. Result: More correct and clean code.

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
Development of all 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.
