…ryWebSocketFrames
Motivation:
`Utf8FrameValidator` is always created and added to the pipeline in `WebSocketServerProtocolHandler.handlerAdded` method. However, for websocket connection with only `BinaryWebSocketFrame`'s UTF8 validator is unnecessary overhead. Adding of `Utf8FrameValidator` could be easily avoided by extending of `WebSocketDecoderConfig` with additional property.
Specification requires UTF-8 validation only for `TextWebSocketFrame`.
Modification:
Added `boolean WebSocketDecoderConfig.withUTF8Validator` that allows to avoid adding of `Utf8FrameValidator` during pipeline initialization.
Result:
Less overhead when using only `BinaryWebSocketFrame`within web socket.
Motivation:
Our QA servers are spammed with this messages:
13:57:51.560 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame opCode=1
13:57:51.560 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame length=4
I think this is too much info for debug level. It is better to move it to trace level.
Modification:
logger.debug changed to logger.trace for WebSocketFrameEncoder/Decoder
Result:
Less messages in Debug mode.
Motivation:
In many places Netty uses Unpooled.buffer(0) while should use EMPTY_BUFFER. We can't change this due to back compatibility in the constructors but can use Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER in some cases to ensure we not allocate at all. In others we can directly use the allocator either from the Channel / ChannelHandlerContext or the request / response.
Modification:
- Use Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER where possible
- Use allocator where possible
Result:
Fixes#9345 for websockets and http package
Motivation:
We need to ensure we place the encoder before the decoder when doing the websockets upgrade as the decoder may produce a close frame when protocol violations are detected.
Modifications:
- Correctly place encoder before decoder
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9300
Motivation:
If the encoded value of a form element happens to exactly hit
the chunk limit (8096 bytes), the post request encoder will
throw a NullPointerException.
Modifications:
Catch the null case and return.
Result:
No NPE.
Motivation:
While fixing #9359 found few places that could be patched / improved separately.
Modification:
On handshake response generation - throw exception before allocating response objects if request is invalid.
Result:
No more leaks when exception is thrown.
Motivation:
Based on https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-1.3 - for non-browser
clients, Origin header field may be sent if it makes sense in the context of those clients.
Modification:
Replace Sec-WebSocket-Origin to Origin
Result:
Fixes#9134 .
Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
There are is some unnecessary code (like toString() calls) which can be cleaned up.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed toString() calls
- Simplify subString(...) calls
- Remove some explicit casts when not needed.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
asList should only be used if there are multiple elements.
Modification:
Call to asList with only one argument could be replaced with singletonList
Result:
Cleaner code and a bit of memory savings
Motivation:
The HttpPostRequestEncoder overwrites the original filename of file uploads sharing the same name encoded in mixed mode when it rewrites the multipart body header of the previous file. The original filename should be preserved instead.
Modifications:
Change the HttpPostRequestEncoder to reuse the correct filename when the encoder switches to mixed mode. The original test is incorrect and has been modified too, in addition it tests with an extra file upload since the current test was not testing the continuation of a mixed mode.
Result:
The HttpPostRequestEncoder will preserve the original filename of the first fileupload when switching to mixed mode
Motivation:
I need to control WebSockets inbound flow manually, when autoRead=false
Modification:
Add missed ctx.read() call into WebSocketProtocolHandler, where read request has been swallowed.
Result:
Fixes#9257
Motivation:
Incorrect WebSockets closure affects our production system.
Enforced 'close socket on any protocol violation' prevents our custom termination sequence from execution.
Huge number of parameters is a nightmare both in usage and in support (decoders configuration).
Modification:
Fix violations handling - send proper response codes.
Fix for messages leak.
Introduce decoder's option to disable default behavior (send close frame) on protocol violations.
Encapsulate WebSocket response codes - WebSocketCloseStatus.
Encapsulate decoder's configuration into a separate class - WebSocketDecoderConfig.
Result:
Fixes#8295.
Motivation:
When connecting through an HTTP proxy over clear HTTP, user agents must send requests with an absolute url. This hold true for WebSocket Upgrade request.
WebSocketClientHandshaker and subclasses currently always send requests with a relative url, which causes proxies to crash as request is malformed.
Modification:
Introduce a new parameter `absoluteUpgradeUrl` and expose it in constructors and WebSocketClientHandshakerFactory.
Result:
It's now possible to configure WebSocketClientHandshaker so it works properly with HTTP proxies over clear HTTP.
delete Other "Content-" MIME Header Fields exception
Motivation:
RFC7578 4.8. Other "Content-" Header Fields
The multipart/form-data media type does not support any MIME header
fields in parts other than Content-Type, Content-Disposition, and (in
limited circumstances) Content-Transfer-Encoding. Other header
fields MUST NOT be included and MUST be ignored.
Modification:
Ignore other Content types.
Result:
Other "Content-" Header Fields should be ignored no exception
Motivation:
f17bfd0f64 removed the usage of static exception instances to reduce the risk of OOME due addSupressed calls. We should do the same for exceptions used to signal handshake timeouts.
Modifications:
Do not use static instances
Result:
No risk of OOME due addSuppressed calls
Motivation:
The first final version of GraalVM was released which deprecated some flags. We should use the new ones.
Modifications:
Removes the use of deprecated GraalVM native-image flags
Adds a flag to initialize netty at build time.
Result:
Do not use deprecated flags
Motivation:
Support handshake timeout option in websocket handlers. It makes sense to limit the time we need to move from `HANDSHAKE_ISSUED` to `HANDSHAKE_COMPLETE` states when upgrading to WebSockets
Modification:
- Add `handshakeTimeoutMillis` option in `WebSocketClientProtocolHandshakeHandler` and `WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler`.
- Schedule a timeout task, the task will trigger user event `HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT` if the handshake timed out.
Result:
Fixes issue https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8841
Motivation
Pipeline handlers are free to "take control" of input buffers if they have singular refcount - in particular to mutate their raw data if non-readonly via discarding of read bytes, etc.
However there are various places (primarily unit tests) where a wrapped byte-array buffer is passed in and the wrapped array is assumed not to change (used after the wrapped buffer is passed to EmbeddedChannel.writeInbound()). This invalid assumption could result in unexpected errors, such as those exposed by #8931.
Modifications
Anywhere that the data passed to writeInbound() might be used again, ensure that either:
- A copy is used rather than wrapping a shared byte array, or
- The buffer is otherwise protected from modification by making it read-only
For the tests, copying is preferred since it still allows the "mutating" optimizations to be exercised.
Results
Avoid possible errors when pipeline assumes it has full control of input buffer.
Motivation:
OOME is occurred by increasing suppressedExceptions because other libraries call Throwable#addSuppressed. As we have no control over what other libraries do we need to ensure this can not lead to OOME.
Modifications:
Only use static instances of the Exceptions if we can either dissable addSuppressed or we run on java6.
Result:
Not possible to OOME because of addSuppressed. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9151.
Motivation:
We did manually call HttpObjectDecoder.reset() in HttpObjectAggregator.handleOversizedMessage(...) which is incorrect and will prevent correct parsing of the next message.
Modifications:
- Remove call to HttpObjectDecoder.reset()
- Add unit test
Result:
Verify that we can correctly parse the next request after we rejected a request.
Motivation:
GraalVM native images are a new way to deliver java applications. Netty is one of the most popular libraries however there are a few limitations that make it impossible to use with native images out of the box. Adding a few metadata (in specific modules will allow the compilation to success and produce working binaries)
Modification:
Added properties files in `META-INF` and substitutions classes (under `internal.svm`) will solve the compilation issues. The substitutions classes are not visible and do not have a public constructor so they are not visible to end users.
Result:
Fixes#8959
This fix is very conservative as it applies the minimum config required to build:
* pure netty servers
* vert.x applications
* grpc applications
The build is having trouble due to checkstyle which does not seem to be able to find the copyright notice on property files.
Motivation:
RFC 6455 defines that, generally, a WebSocket client should not close a TCP
connection as far as a server is the one who's responsible for doing that.
In practice tho', it's not always possible to control the server. Server's
misbehavior may lead to connections being leaked (if the server does not
comply with the RFC).
RFC 6455 #7.1.1 says
> In abnormal cases (such as not having received a TCP Close from the server
after a reasonable amount of time) a client MAY initiate the TCP Close.
Modifications:
* WebSocket client handshaker additional param `forceCloseAfterMillis`
* Use 10 seconds as default
Result:
WebSocket client handshaker to comply with RFC. Fixes#8883.
Motivation:
32563bfcc1 introduced a regression in which we did now not longer discard the messages after we handled an oversized message.
Modifications:
- Do not set aggregating to false after handleOversizedMessage is called
- Adjust unit tests to verify the behaviour is correct again.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9007.
Motivation:
Add user possibility to skip the evaluation of certain web socket extension,
for example we can skip compression extension for messages that already compressed or very small and etc.
Modification:
This pull request is related with #5669
Result:
User can set to WebSocketClientExtensionHandshaker or WebSocketServerExtensionHandshaker a filter to skip the evaluation of certain extension.
Motivation:
According to the specification, the "Connection" header's syntax is:
"
The Connection header field's value has the following grammar:
Connection = 1#connection-option
connection-option = token
Connection options are case-insensitive.
"
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.1
This means that Connection's value can have at least one element or
a comma separated list with elements
When calculating whether the connection can remain open,
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) should take this into account.
Modifications:
- Check for "close" and "keep-alive" in a comma separated list
- Add unit test
Result:
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) works correctly when "Connection: Upgrade, close"
Motivation:
When HttpContentDecoder (and so HttpContentDecompressor) does not produce any message we need to make sure it calls ctx.read() if auto read is false to not stale.
Modifications:
- Keep track if we need to call ctx.read() or not
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8915.
Motivation:
Netty is very widely used which can lead to a lot of pain when we break API / ABI. We should make use japicmp-maven-plugin during the build to verify we do not introduce breakage by mistake.
Modifications:
- Add japicmp-maven-plugin to the build process
- Fix a method signature change in HttpProxyHandler that was flagged as a possible problem.
Result:
Ensure no API/ABI breakage accour between releases.
Motivation:
We should not depend on the implementation detail of Unpooled.buffer(int) to allocate the exact size of backing byte[] as depending on the implementation it may return a buffer with a bigger backing array.
Modifications:
Explicit allocate the byte[] and wrap it in the ByteBuf. This way we are sure that ByteBuf.array() returns an byte[] which has the exact length and content we expect.
Result:
More correct and safe usage of ByteBuf.array()
Motivation:
Gracefully respond on bad client request.
We have a set of errors produced by Android 7.1.1/7.1.2 clients where both headers `HttpHeaderNames.SEC_WEBSOCKET_VERSION` and `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` are not present. Absence of the first headers leads to WebSocketServerHandshaker00 be applied as a handshaker. However, null 2nd header causes
```
java.lang.NullPointerException: value
io.netty.util.internal.ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(ObjectUtil.java:33)
io.netty.handler.codec.DefaultHeaders.addObject(DefaultHeaders.java:327)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpHeaders.add(DefaultHttpHeaders.java:123)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx.WebSocketServerHandshaker00.newHandshakeResponse(WebSocketServerHandshaker00.java:162)
```
Which causes connection close with unclear reason.
Modification:
Added null-check, and in case of null an appropriate WebSocketHandshakeException is thrown.
Result:
In case of null `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` header a WebSocketHandshakeException is caught by WebSocketServerProtocolHandler which sends a graceful `BAD_REQUEST`.
Motivation:
When more than one connection header is present in h2c upgrade request, upgrade fails. This is to fix that.
Modification:
In HttpServerUpgradeHandler's upgrade() method, check whether any of the connection header value is upgrade, not just the first header value which might return a different value other than upgrade.
Result:
Fixes#8846.
With this PR, now when multiple connection headers are sent with the upgrade request, upgrade will not fail.
Motivation:
We can replace some "hand-rolled" integer checks with our own static utility method to simplify the code.
Modifications:
Use methods provided by `ObjectUtil`.
Result:
Cleaner code and less duplication
Motivation
Implementations of MessageAggregator (HttpObjectAggregator in particular) may wish to
selectively aggrerage requests and responses on a case-by-case basis such as for example
only POST requests or only responses of a certain content-type.
Modifications
Adding a flag to MessageAggregator that toggles between true/false depending on if aggregation
is desired for the current message or not.
Result
Fixes#8772
* HttpObjectDecoder ignores HTTP trailer header when empty line is received in seperate ByteBuf
Motivation:
When the empty line that termines the trailers was sent in a seperate ByteBuf we did ignore the previous parsed trailers and just returned none.
Modifications:
- Correct respect previous parsed trailers.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8736
Motivation:
In most cases, HttpMethod instance is built from the factory method and the same instance is taken for known Http Methods. So we can implement fast path for equals().
Modification:
Replace == checks with HttpMethod.equals;
Use this == o within HttpMethod.equals;
Replaced known new HttpMethod with HttpMethod.valueOf;
Result:
Comparisons should be a bit faster in some cases.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
