Motivation:
We should allow to write Http2UnkownFrame to allow custom extensions.
Modifications:
Allow to write Http2UnkownFrame
Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7860.
Motivation:
At the moment we use a ByteBuf as the payload for a http2 frame. This complicates life-time management a lot with no real gain and also may produce more objects then needed. We should just use a long as it is required to be 8 bytes anyway.
Modifications:
Use long for ping payloads.
Result:
Fixes [#7629].
Motivation:
Reflective setAccessible(true) will produce scary warnings on the console when using java9+, while netty still works. That said users may feel uncomfortable with these warnings, we should not try to do it by default when using java9+.
Modifications:
Add io.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible system property which controls if setAccessible(...) will be used. By default it will bet set to false when using java9+.
Result:
Fixes [#7254].
Motivation:
Usually when using netty exceptions which happen for outbound operations should not be fired through the pipeline but only the ChannelPromise should be failed.
Modifications:
- Change Http2LifecycleManager.onError(...) to take also an boolean that indicate if the error was caused by an outbound operation
- Channel Http2ConnectionHandler.on*Error(...) methods to also take this boolean
- Change Http2FrameCodec to only fire exceptions through the pipeline if these are not outbound operations related
- Add unit test.
Result:
More consistent error handling when using Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec.
Motivation:
Http2FrameCodec increases the initialWindowSize when the user attempts to increase the connection flow control window. The initialWindowSize should only be touched as a result of a SETTINGS frame, and otherwise may result in flow control getting out of sync with our peer.
Modifications:
- Http2FrameCodec shouldn't update the initialWindowSize when a WindowUpdateFrame is written on the connection channel
Result:
More correct WindowUpdate processing.
Motivation:
Http2FrameStream#CONNECTION_STREAM is required to identify the
connection stream. However this leads to inconsistent usage from a user
perspective. When a user creates a Http2Frame for a non-connection
stream, the Http2MultiplexCodec automatically sets the stream, and the
user is never exposed to the Http2FrameStream object. However when the
user writes a Http2Frame for a connection stream they are required to
set the Http2FrameStream object. We can remove the Http2FrameStream#CONNECTION_STREAM
and keep the Http2FrameStream object internal, and therefore consistent
between the connection and non-connection use cases.
Modifications:
- Remove Http2FrameStream#CONNECTION_STREAM
- Update Http2FrameCodec to handle Http2Frame#stream() which returns
null
Result:
More consistent usage on http2 parent channel and http2 child channel.
Motivation:
Http2FrameCodecTest#newOutboundStream has a timeout of 1 second and has been observed to timeout on CI servers.
Modifications:
- Increase the timeout to 5 seconds
Result:
Less false positive test failures on CI servers.
H2C upgrades should be ineligible for flow control
Motivation:
When the h2c upgrade request is too big, the Http2FrameCodec complains
it's too big for flow control reasons, even though it's ineligible for
flow control.
Modifications:
Specially mark upgrade streams and make Http2FrameCodec know not to try
to flow control on those streams.
Result:
Servers won't barf when they receive an upgrade request with a fat
payload.
[Fixes#7280]
Motivation:
379ac890f4 introduced the usage of the inline mock maker. This unfortunally not work on java7 and java9.
Modifications:
Just use reflection to create the event for now.
Result:
Netty tests pass again on java7 and java9 as well.
Motivation:
When using Http2FrameCodec / Http2MultiplexCodec with HttpServerUpgradeHandler reference count exception will be triggered.
Modifications:
- Correctly retain before calling InboundHttpToHttp2Adapter.handle
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7172].
Motivation:
Our http2 child channel implementation was not 100 % complete and had a few bugs. Beside this the performance overhead was non-trivial.
Modifications:
There are a lot of modifications, the most important....
* Http2FrameCodec extends Http2ConnectionHandler and Http2MultiplexCodec extends Http2FrameCodec to reduce performance heads and inter-dependencies on handlers in the pipeline
* Correctly handle outbound flow control for child channels
* Support unknow frame types in Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec
* Use a consistent way how to create Http2ConnectionHandler, Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec (via a builder)
* Remove Http2Codec and Http2CodecBuilder as the user should just use Http2MultipleCodec and Http2MultiplexCodecBuilder now
* Smart handling of flushes from child channels to reduce overhead
* Reduce object allocations
* child channels always use the same EventLoop as the parent Channel to reduce overhead and simplify implementation.
* Not extend AbstractChannel for the child channel implementation to reduce overhead in terms of performance and memory usage
* Remove Http2FrameStream.managedState(...) as the user of the child channel api should just use Channel.attr(...)
Result:
Http2MultiplexCodec (and so child channels) and Http2FrameCodec are more correct, faster and more feature complete.
Motivation:
This PR (unfortunately) does 4 things:
1) Add outbound flow control to the Http2MultiplexCodec:
The HTTP/2 child channel API should interact with HTTP/2 outbound/remote flow control. That is,
if a H2 stream used up all its flow control window, the corresponding child channel should be
marked unwritable and a writability-changed event should be fired. Similarly, a unwritable
child channel should be marked writable and a writability-event should be fired, once a
WINDOW_UPDATE frame has been received. The changes are (mostly) contained in ChannelOutboundBuffer,
AbstractHttp2StreamChannel and Http2MultiplexCodec.
2) Introduce a Http2Stream2 object, that is used instead of stream identifiers on stream frames. A
Http2Stream2 object allows an application to attach state to it, and so a application handler
no longer needs to maintain stream state (i.e. in a map(id -> state)) himself.
3) Remove stream state events, which are no longer necessary due to the introduction of Http2Stream2.
Also those stream state events have been found hard and complex to work with, when porting gRPC
to the Http2FrameCodec.
4) Add support for HTTP/2 frames that have not yet been implemented, like PING and SETTINGS. Also add
a Http2FrameCodecBuilder that exposes options from the Http2ConnectionHandler API that couldn't else
be used with the frame codec, like buffering outbound streams, window update ratio, frame logger, etc.
Modifications:
1) A child channel's writability and a H2 stream's outbound flow control window interact, as described
in the motivation. A channel handler is free to ignore the channel's writability, in which case the
parent channel is reponsible for buffering writes until a WINDOW_UPDATE is received.
The connection-level flow control window is ignored for now. That is, a child channel's writability
is only affected by the stream-level flow control window. So a child channel could be marked writable,
even though the connection-level flow control window is zero.
2) Modify Http2StreamFrame and the Http2FrameCodec to take a Http2Stream2 object intstead of a primitive
integer. Introduce a special Http2ChannelDuplexHandler that has newStream() and forEachActiveStream()
methods. It's recommended for a user to extend from this handler, to use those advanced features.
3) As explained in the documentation, a new inbound stream active can be detected by checking if the
Http2Stream2.managedState() of a Http2HeadersFrame is null. An outbound stream active can be detected
by adding a listener to the ChannelPromise of the write of the first Http2HeadersFrame. A stream
closed event can be listened to by adding a listener to the Http2Stream2.closeFuture().
4) Add a simple Http2FrameCodecBuilder and implement the missing frame types.
Result:
1) The Http2MultiplexCodec supports outbound flow control.
2) The Http2FrameCodec API makes it easy for a user to manage custom stream specific state and to create
new outbound streams.
3) The Http2FrameCodec API is much cleaner and easier to work with. Hacks like the ChannelCarryingHeadersFrame
are no longer necessary.
4) The Http2FrameCodec now also supports PING and SETTINGS frames. The Http2FrameCodecBuilder allows the Http2FrameCodec
to use some of the rich features of the Http2ConnectionHandler API.
Motivation:
LastInboundHandler maintains 2 queues which may contain the same data and tries to match these up when you read elements out of it. Because of this it can happen that you remove an element only out of one queue and so double free stuff later.
Modifications:
Just use one "queue" to store things.
Result:
Not possible to only remove things from one queue and so get into trouble later when release everything that sits in the handler.
Motiviation:
We used ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) in our tests which simplifies a bit the releasing of ReferenceCounted objects. The problem with this is that while it simplifies stuff it increase memory usage a lot as memory may not be freed up in a timely manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate releaseLater(...)
- Remove usage of releaseLater(...) in tests.
Result:
Less memory needed to build netty while running the tests.
Motivation:
Currently it is not possible to have an Http/2 server send non default
initial settings to clients when doing the initial connection handshake
Modifications:
Add additional constructors to Http2Codec allowing users to specify the
initial settings to send to the client and apply locally
Result:
You can now specify non default initial settings
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 child channel API does not allow to create local/outbound HTTP/2 streams.
Modifications:
Add a Http2StreamChannelBootstrap that allows to create outbound streams.
Result:
The HTTP/2 child channel API now supports outbound streams.
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
codec-http2 is really loud!
Modification:
Allow users to select how to log in the Http2Codec.
Result:
We can run Http2Codec and log however we like.
Motivation:
We need to call debugData.retain() before we forward the frame to the pipeline as ByteToMessageDecoder will call release() on the buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly retain debugData and fix the unit test to test for it.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException when using the Http2FrameCodec.
Motivation:
The channel promise of a window update frame is not completed correctly,
depending on the failure or success of the operation.
Modification:
Succeed / Fail the promise if the window update succeeds / fails.
Result:
Correctly succeed / fail the promise.
Motivation:
Quote from issue 4914:
"Http2MultiplexCodec currently does two things: mapping the existing h2 API to frames and managing the child channels.
It would be better if the two parts were separated. This would allow less-coupled development of the HTTP/2 handlers (flow control could be its own handler, for instance) and allow applications to insert themselves between all streams and the codec, which permits custom logic and could be used, in part, to implement custom frame types.
It would also greatly ease testing, as the child channel could be tested by itself without dealing with how frames are encoded on the wire."
Modifications:
- Split the Http2MultiplexCodec into Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec. The Http2FrameCodec interacts with the existing HTTP/2 callback-based API, while the Http2MulitplexCodec is completely independent of it and simply multiplexes Http2StreamFrames to the child channels. Additionally, the Http2Codec handler is introduced, which is a convenience class that simply sets up the Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec in the channel pipeline and removes itself.
- Improved test coverage quite a bit.
Result:
- The original Http2MultiplexCodec is split into Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec.
- More tests for higher confidence in the code.
