update of LittleProxy 0.5.3 to work with Netty 3.10.4.Final

[t-beckmann]

Hi,

here you find changes necessary to make LittleProxy 0.3.5 compatible to Netty 3.10.4.Final. The changes are quite simple, involve just changing the access to HTTP header which was refactored on the Netty side in the meantime. These changes are valuable to people having ChannelHandlers plugged into LittleProxy which are not ported yet to Netty 4.

If you find this valueable, you may want to merge based on the littleproxy-0.3.5 tag and create a 0.3.5.1 or 0.3.6 or so...

Best regards,
Thomas Beckmann.

Notice, GitHub did not let me select 0.3.5 as the base. So I guess one has to merge manually at the command line...

Thank you Thomas, I think, it's a valuable contribution, but I've to figure out how to work with such an old branch. @jekh Do you think, it could be released with LittleProxy, if I build it?

@ganskef - we could make a branch for Netty 3 support, and @t-beckmann could submit the PR against that branch. It should be fairly simple to do. I don't see any harm having a branch with a Netty 3-compatible build, if folks find it useful. But it's old enough that I wouldn't expect to have any more maven releases of the Netty 3 build.

@t-beckmann I've created a branch, but I'm not sure about the naming https://github.com/ganskef/LittleProxy/tree/netty-3.10, see #229

[jekh]

I think a netty-3 branch in the main LittleProxy repository would be fine. Or if you'd prefer to maintain the netty 3-compatible port separately, I don't see any issues with that, either.

[ganskef]

@t-beckmann would you like to maintain the netty 3-compatible port in your repository?

You could create a request with an addition to the README. (Or I could do this for you.)
