Motivation:
JUnit 5 is more expressive, extensible, and composable in many ways, and it's better able to run tests in parallel.
Modifications:
Use JUnit5 in handler-proxy tests
Result:
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10757
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.
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler itself will add a HttpClientCodec into the ChannelPipeline and so confuse the WebSocket*Handshaker when it tries to modify the pipeline as it will replace the wrong HttpClientCodec.
Modifications:
Wrap the internal HttpClientCodec that is added by HttpProxyHandler so it will not be replaced by HttpProxyHandler.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5201 and https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5070
Motivation:
In 42742e233f4b7318d749339bfc6d03ed46e2f84e we already added default methods to Channel*Handler and deprecated the Adapter classes to simplify the class hierarchy. With this change we go even further and merge everything into just ChannelHandler. This simplifies things even more in terms of class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Merge ChannelInboundHandler | ChannelOutboundHandler into ChannelHandler
- Adjust code to just use ChannelHandler
- Deprecate old interfaces.
Result:
Cleaner and simpler code in terms of class-hierarchy.
Motivation:
As we now us java8 as minimum java version we can deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter and just move the default implementations into the interfaces. This makes things a bit more flexible for the end-user and also simplifies the class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Mark ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter and ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter as deprecated
- Add default implementations to ChannelInboundHandler / ChannelOutboundHandler
- Refactor our code to not use ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter anymore
Result:
Cleanup class-hierarchy and make things a bit more flexible.
Motivation:
When a proxy fails to connect, it includes useful error detail in
the headers.
Modification:
- Add an HTTP Specific ProxyConnectException
- Attach headers (if any) in the event of a non-200 response
Result:
Able to surface more useful error info to applications
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler uses `NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` to compute
CONNECT url and Host header.
The url is correct when the address is unresolved, as
`NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` will then use
`getHoststring`/`getHostname`. If the address is already resolved, the
url will be based on the IP instead of the hostname.
There’s an additional minor issue with the Host header: default port
443 should be omitted.
Modifications:
* Introduce NetUtil#getHostname
* Introduce HttpUtil#formatHostnameForHttp to format an
InetSocketAddress to
HTTP format
* Change url computation to favor hostname instead of IP
* Introduce HttpProxyHandler ignoreDefaultPortsInConnectHostHeader
parameter to ignore 80 and 443 ports in Host header
Result:
HttpProxyHandler performs properly when connecting to a resolved address
Motivation:
In some environments, the HTTP CONNECT handshake requires special headers to work.
Modification:
Update HttpProxyHandler to accept a HttpHeaders argument.
Result:
The header is passed along in the HTTP CONNECT request, and the proxy request can be successfully completed.
Motivation:
The HttpProxyHandler is expected to be capable of issuing a valid CONNECT request for a tunneled connection to an IPv6 host.
Modifications:
- Correctly format the IPV6 address.
- Add unit tests
Result:
HttpProxyHandler works with IPV6 as well. Fixes [#6152].
