/** Provides buffer oriented HTTP message serialization functionality.

    An object of this type is used to serialize a complete
    HTTP message into a sequence of octets. To use this class,
    construct an instance with the message to be serialized.
    The implementation will automatically perform chunk encoding
    if the contents of the message indicate that chunk encoding
    is required.

    Chunked output produced by the serializer never contains chunk
    extensions or trailers, and the location of chunk boundaries
    is not specified. If callers require chunk extensions, trailers,
    or control over the exact contents of each chunk they should
    use the serializer to write just the message header, and then
    assume control over serializing the chunked payload by using
    the chunk buffer sequence types @ref chunk_body, @ref chunk_crlf,
    @ref chunk_header, and @ref chunk_last.

    @note

    Moving or copying the serializer after the first call to
    @ref serializer::next results in undefined behavior. Try to heap-allocate
    the serializer object if you need to move the serializer between multiple
    async operations (for example, between a call to `async_write_header` and
    `async_write`).

    @tparam isRequest `true` if the message is a request.

    @tparam Body The body type of the message.

    @tparam Fields The type of fields in the message.
