### Methods

#### `new(underlying_stream: Box<dyn IO>) -> HttpSession`

#### `read_request(&mut self) -> Result<Option<usize>, Box<Error>>`

Reads and parses the request header. Returns `Ok(Some(n))` on success, `Ok(None)` if the client closes the connection without sending data, and `Err` on failure.

Returns a reference to the parsed `RequestHeader`. Panics if called before `read_request()`.

#### `req_header_mut(&mut self) -> &mut RequestHeader`

Returns a mutable reference to the parsed `RequestHeader`. Panics if called before `read_request()`.

#### `get_header(&self, name: impl AsHeaderName) -> Option<&HeaderValue>`

Retrieves the value of a specific header. Returns the first value if multiple headers with the same name exist. Use `req_header().header.get_all(name)` for all values.

#### `request_summary(&self) -> String`

#### `is_upgrade_req(&self) -> bool`

Checks if the request is an upgrade request (e.g., for WebSockets).

#### `get_header_bytes(&self, name: impl AsHeaderName) -> &[u8]`

Retrieves the raw bytes of a request header. Returns an empty byte slice if the header does not exist.

#### `read_body_bytes(&mut self) -> Result<Option<Bytes>, Box<Error>>`

Reads the request body as bytes. Returns `Ok(None)` when there is no more body data.

#### `drain_request_body(&mut self) -> Result<(), Box<Error>>`

Drains the request body. Returns `Ok(())` when the body is fully consumed or not present.

#### `is_body_done(&mut self) -> bool`

Indicates whether the entire request body has been read.

#### `is_body_empty(&mut self) -> bool`

Checks if the request body is empty. Accurate after the request header is read.

#### `write_response_header(&mut self, header: Box<ResponseHeader>) -> Result<(), Box<Error>>`

#### `write_response_header_ref(&mut self, resp: &ResponseHeader) -> Result<(), Box<Error>>`

A reference-based version of `write_response_header()`.

#### `response_written(&self) -> Option<&ResponseHeader>`

Returns the response header if it has already been sent.

Checks if the connection will be kept alive for reuse.

#### `respect_keepalive(&mut self)`

#### `write_body(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<Option<usize>, Box<Error>>`

Writes a chunk of the response body to the client. Returns `Ok(None)` if writing more bytes would exceed the `Content-Length`.

#### `finish_body(&mut self) -> Result<Option<usize>, Box<Error>>`

Signals the end of the response body. Flushes buffers and sends the final chunk for chunked encoding. Closes client body reading for upgraded sessions.

#### `body_bytes_sent(&self) -> usize`

Returns the number of response body bytes sent to the client.

#### `body_bytes_read(&self) -> usize`

Returns the number of request body bytes read from the client.

#### `retry_buffer_truncated(&self) -> bool`
