Motivation:
HTTP is a plaintext protocol which means that someone may be able
to eavesdrop the data. To prevent this, HTTPS should be used whenever
possible. However, maintaining using https:// in all URLs may be
difficult. The nohttp tool can help here. The tool scans all the files
in a repository and reports where http:// is used.
Modifications:
- Added nohttp (via checkstyle) into the build process.
- Suppressed findings for the websites
that don't support HTTPS or that are not reachable
Result:
- Prevent using HTTP in the future.
- Encourage users to use HTTPS when they follow the links they found in
the code.
Expose a LoggingDnsQueryLifeCycleObserverFactory
Motivation:
There is a use case for having logging in the DnsNameResolver, similar to the LoggingHandler.
Previously, one could set `traceEnabled` on the DnsNameResolverBuilder, but this is not very configurable.
Specifically, the log level and the logger context cannot be changed.
Modification:
Expose a LoggingDnsQueryLifeCycleObserverFactory, that permit changing the log-level
and logger context.
Result:
It is now possible to get logging in the DnsNameResolver at a custom log level and logger,
without very much effort.
Fixes#10485
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
To be able to build with latest java9 release we need to adjust commons-lang version and maven-enforcer-plugin.
Modifications:
- Use commons-lang 2.6.0
- Use maven-enforcer-plugin 3.0.0.M1 when building with java9
Result:
Netty builds again with latest java9 release
