public class HttpChunkedInput extends Object implements ChunkedInput<HttpContent>
A ChunkedInput that fetches data chunk by chunk for use with HTTP chunked transfers.

Each chunk from the input data will be wrapped within a HttpContent. At the end of the input data, LastHttpContent will be written.

Ensure that your HTTP response header contains Transfer-Encoding: chunked. 

public void messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, FullHttpRequest request) throws Exception {
 HttpResponse response = new DefaultHttpResponse(HTTP_1_1, OK);
 response.headers().set(TRANSFER_ENCODING, CHUNKED);
 ctx.write(response);
 HttpChunkedInput httpChunkWriter = new HttpChunkedInput(
 new ChunkedFile("/tmp/myfile.txt"));
 ChannelFuture sendFileFuture = ctx.write(httpChunkWriter);
}
