/**
* HTTP protocol processor is a collection of protocol interceptors that
* implements the 'Chain of Responsibility' pattern, where each individual
* protocol interceptor is expected to work on a particular aspect of the HTTP
* protocol the interceptor is responsible for.
* <p>
* Usually the order in which interceptors are executed should not matter as
* long as they do not depend on a particular state of the execution context.
* If protocol interceptors have interdependencies and therefore must be
* executed in a particular order, they should be added to the protocol
* processor in the same sequence as their expected execution order.
* <p>
* Protocol interceptors must be implemented as thread-safe. Similarly to
* servlets, protocol interceptors should not use instance variables unless
* access to those variables is synchronized.
