I've just created a JIRA issue for this:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-248

Let's continue discussion there from now on.

Thank you,

Ah, so.. in HTTP/1.0, 'EOC (end of connection)' can be a useful
information for decoding, but it is not informed to ProtocolDecoder, right?
This is certainly a problem.

For now, ProtocolDecoder.dispose () is invoked just before sessionClosed()
is invoked.  So we could add a ProtocolDecoderOutput parameter to dispose()
method, but I think is not a good idea.  Providing another method like
'finishDecode()' would be better to separate the decoding code and the
resource management code.

What do you think?
