- Method Detail
  - getContentLength
```
long getContentLength()
```
    Gets the length of the body.
    
    Returns:
    
    The length of the body in bytes, or negative if unknown.
  - transferTo
```
Body.BodyState transferTo(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf target)
                   throws IOException
```
    Reads the next chunk of bytes from the body.
    A Body.BodyState.STOP result may be returned by the same call that writes the body's last bytes, so target can still hold unread bytes on STOP. Consumers must drain target before honouring STOP, otherwise the final chunk is lost.
    
    Parameters:
    
    target - The buffer to store the chunk in, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The state.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - If the chunk could not be read.
