+jersey-example-expect-100-continue-netty-connector
+==========================================================
+
+This example demonstrates how to register and run Jersey Netty connector with Expect:100-continue feature on.
+It also provides custom low-level Socket server to demonstrate how is request is captured and processed.  
+
+Contents
+--------
+
+The server and client are operating on requests level, without exposing any Resources. Client only sends request in
+form 
+```json
+{"message":"Hello from java client"}
+```
+
+Sample Response
+---------------
+Server in turn shows output which demonstrates Expect:100-continue presence and handling
+
+```shell
+==== DUMPING HEADERS ====
+expect, 100-continue
+transfer-encoding, chunked
+host, 127.0.0.1:3000
+content-type, application/json
+accept, application/json
+user-agent, jersey/2.47-snapshot (netty 4.1.112.final)
+==== HEADERS DUMPED =====
+==== DUMPING RESPONSE ====
+HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
+Connection: keep-alive
+
+
+==== RESPONSE DUMPED =====
+24
+{"message":"Hello from java client"}
+==== DUMPING RESPONSE ====
+HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
+Server: Socket Server v.0.0.1
+
+
+```
+
+Running the Example
+-------------------
+
+Run the example using provided ServerSocket container as follows:
+
+>     mvn clean compile exec:java
+
+Run the example using client as follows:
+
+>     mvn clean package exec:java -Pclient
