+The `message.complete` property will be `true` if a complete HTTP message has
+been received and successfully parsed.
+
+This property is particularly useful as a means of determining if a client or
+server fully transmitted a message before a connection was terminated:
+
+```js
+const req = http.request({
+  host: '127.0.0.1',
+  port: 8080,
+  method: 'POST'
+}, (res) => {
+  res.resume();
+  res.on('end', () => {
+    if (!res.complete)
+      console.error(
+        'The connection was terminated while the message was still being sent');
+  });
+});
+```
