Motivation:
Resolving hosts via the /etc/hosts file should be case-insensitive, e.g. localhost and LOCALHOST refer to the same host, this is the same that is applied to dns queries.
Modifications:
Store hosts Map with lowercase keys, lookup the keys as lowercase
Add to unit test for the hosts file parser to use an UPPERCASE file entry
Add unit test for DefaultHostsFileEntriesResolver to resolve both localhost and LOCALHOST
Result:
host resolution for local hosts file should match the rules applied to "getent hosts" or "ping"
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Conneciton.close method accounts for active streams being iterated and attempts to avoid reentrant modifications of the underlying stream map by using iterators to remove from the stream map. However there are a few issues:
- While iterating over the stream map we don't prevent iterations over the active stream collection
- Removing a single stream may actually remove > 1 streams due to closed non-leaf streams being preserved in the priority tree which may result in NPE
Preserving closed non-leaf streams in the priority tree is no longer necessary with our current allocation algorithms, and so this feature (and related complexity) can be removed.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2Connection.close should prevent others from iterating over the active streams and reentrant modification scenarios which may result from this
- DefaultHttp2Connection should not keep closed stream in the priority tree
- Remove all associated code in DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController which accounts for this case including the ReducedState object
- This includes fixing writability changes which depended on ReducedState
- Update unit tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5198
Motivation:
http/2 and http/1.1 have similar protocols, and it's useful to be able
to implement a single server against a single interface. There's an
injection from http/1.1 messages to http/2 ones, so it makes sense to
make folks program against http/1.1 and upgrade them under the hood.
Modifications:
added a MessageToMessageCodec<Http2StreamFrame, HttpObject> which turns
every kind of Http2StreamFrame domain object into an HttpObject domain
object, and then back again on the way out. This one is specialized for
servers, but it should be straightforward to make a symmetric one for
clients, or else extend this one.
Result:
fixes#5199, and it's now simple to make your Http2MultiplexCodec speak
Http1.1
Motivation:
The LateListener logic is prone to infinite loops and relies on being processed in the EventExecutor's thread for synchronization, but this EventExecutor may not be constant. An infinite loop can occur if the EventExecutor's execute method does not introduce a context switch in LateListener.run. The EventExecutor can be changed by classes which inherit from DefaultPromise. For example the DefaultChannelPromise will return w/e EventLoop the channel is registered to, but this EventLoop can change (re-registration).
Modifications:
- Remove the LateListener concept and instead use a single Object to maintain the listeners while still preserving notification order
- Make the result member variable an atomic variable so it can be outside the synchronized(this) blocks
- Cleanup/simplify existing state management code
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5185
Motivation:
Currently the default log level when running tests is debug. When
running the build on the CI server it might be nice to avoid this debug
level and allow for the level to be configured.
Modifications:
Added a logback-test.xml configuration that has been added to the
common module. This allows for the logLevel to be configured.
The default level will still be debug.
Result:
The log level can now be configured from the command line:
$ mvn test -DlogLevel=error
Motivation:
Some codecs should be considered unstable as these are relative new. For this purpose we should introduce an annotation which these codecs should us to be marked as unstable in terms of API.
Modifications:
- Add UnstableApi annotation and use it on codecs that are not stable
- Move http2.hpack to http2.internal.hpack as it is internal.
Result:
Better document unstable APIs.
Motivation:
We should zero-out the private key as soon as possible when we not need it anymore.
Modifications:
zero out the private key before release the buffer.
Result:
Limit the time the private key resist in memory.
Motivation:
We called deallocationsHuge.decrement() but it needs to be increment()
Modifications:
Replace decrement() with increment()
Result:
Correct metrics.
Motivation:
The format of some log lines used the printf style formatting instead of the logger {} formatting for variables. This would lead to printing out the literal printf tokens instead of substituting the value.
Modifications:
- Fix the format string for log statements which use printf style formatting
Result:
Logs actually capture the value of the variables instead of fixed string tokens.
Motivation:
Often users either need to read or write CharSequences to a ByteBuf. We should add methods for this to ByteBuf as we can do some optimizations for this depending on the implementation.
Modifications:
Add setCharSequence, writeCharSequence, getCharSequence and readCharSequence
Result:
Easier reading / writing of CharSequence with ByteBuf.
Motivation:
NioDatagramChannelConfig currently uses NetworkChannel in its static { } block and so fails to init on android which not has this class.
Modifications:
Use reflection to load the NetworkChannel.class
Result:
Be able to use NIO Datagram on android as well.
Motivation:
We may produce a NPE due a race that can happen while check if a resolution was done and failed.
Modifications:
Correctly first check if the resultion is done before try to detect if it failed and so remove the race that can produce a NPE.
Result:
No more race possible while resolve address during connect.
Motivation:
FlowControlHandlerTest attempts to validate the expected contents of the underlying queue in FlowControlHandler. However the condition which triggers the check is too early and the queue contents may not yet contain all expected objects. For example a CountDownLatch is counted down in a handler's channelRead which is after the FlowControlHandler in the pipeline. At this point if there is a thread context switch the queue may not yet contain all the expected objects and checking the queue contents is not valid.
Modifications:
- Remove checking the queues contents in FLowControlHandlerTest and instead only check the empty condition at the end of the tests
Result:
FlowControlHandlerTest won't fail due to invalid checks of the contents of the queue.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not retain the buffer until readEndOfLine(...) completes as otherwise we may leak memory in the case of an exception.
Modifications:
Only call retain after readEndOfLine(...) returns.
Result:
No more leak in case of exception while decoding redis messages.
Motivation:
At the moment we let the IllegalArgumentException escape when parsing form parameters. This is not expected.
Modifications:
Correctly catch IllegalArgumentException and rethrow as ErrorDataDecoderException.
Result:
Throw correct exception.
Motivation:
The double quote may be escaped in a JSON string, but JsonObjectDecoder doesn't handle it. Resolves#5157.
Modifications:
Don't end a JSON string when processing an escaped double quote.
Result:
JsonObjectDecoder can handle backslash and double quote in a JSON string correctly.
Motivation:
It's better to have some tests for FullMemcacheMessageRequest and FullMemcacheMessageResponse to avoid regression like #5197.
Modifications:
Add tests for FullMemcacheMessageRequest and FullMemcacheMessageResponse.
Result:
There are some basic tests for FullMemcacheMessageRequest and FullMemcacheMessageResponse.
Motivation:
Currently the way a 'null' origin, a request that most often indicated
that the request is coming from a file on the local file system, is
handled is incorrect. We are currently returning a wildcard origin '*'
but should be returning 'null' for the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'
which is valid according to the specification [1].
Modifications:
Updated CorsHandler to add a 'null' origin instead of the '*' origin in
the case the request origin is 'null.
Result:
All test pass and the CORS example as does the cors.html example if you
try to serve it by opening the file directly in a web browser.

Motivation:
The current note reads as if this class is dangerous and advises the reader to "understand what this class does".
Modifications:
Rewrite the Javadoc note to describe what fingerprint checks are and what problems remain.
Result:
Clearer description which no longer causes the impression this class is dangerous.
Motivation:
This reverts commit 3405aee2ab. This commit introduces a bug and the encoder no longer encodes FullMemcacheMessage objects correctly.
Modifications:
- Revert commit
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5197
Motivation:
Reduce nag warnings when compiling, make it easier for IDEs to display what's deprecated.
Modifications:
Added @Deprecated in a few places
Result:
No more warnings.
Motivation:
- `RedisBulkStringAggregator` raises errors for multiple null bulk strings.
- Null or empty bulk string has no content, but current `RedisDecoder` generates header and contents.
Modifications:
- Fix decoding null bulk string of `RedisDecoder` for `RedisBulkStringAggregator`.
Result:
- Fixes#5184.
Motivations
The test SniHandlerTest#testSniWithApnHandler() does not actually
involve SNI: given the client setup, the ClientHello in the form of hex
strings is not actually written to the wire, so the server never receives that.
We may need to write in somewhere else (e.g., channelActive()) instead of in
initChannel() in order for the hex strings to reach the server. So here
what's actually going on is an ordinary TLS C/S communication without SNI.
Modifications
The client part is modified to enable SNI by using an SslHandler with an
SSLEngine created by io.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext#newEngine(), where
the server hostname is specified. Also, more clauses are added to verify that
the SNI is indeed successful.
Results
Now the test verifies that both SNI and APN actually happen and succeed.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2FrameReader will stop reading data if any exception is thrown. However some exceptions are recoverable and we will lose data if we don't continue reading. For example some stream errors are recoverable.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2FrameReader should attempt to continue reading if a stream error is encountered.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5186
Motivation:
Checking if a key exists on a TreeMap has a Big O of "log 2 N",
doing it twice is not cheap.
Modifications:
Get the key instead which has the same cost and check if it is null.
Result:
Faster code due to one expensive operation removed.
Motivation:
- Add an example Redis client using codec-redis.
Modifications:
- Add an example Redis client that reads input from STDIN and writes output to STDOUT.
Result:
- Added an example Redis client using codec-redis.
Motivation:
Some handlers such as HttpObjectDecoder can emit more than one event per read()
which leads to problems in downstream handlers that expect only one event and hope
that ChannelConfig#setAutoRead(false) prevents further events being sent while they're
processing the one they've just received.
Modifications:
A new handler called FlowControlHandler that feeds off read() and isAutoRead() and acts
as a holding buffer if auto reading gets turned off and more events arrive while auto reading
is off.
Result:
Fixes issues such as #4895.
Motivation:
If a channel is deregistered from an NioEventLoop the associated SelectionKey is cancelled. If the NioEventLoop has yet to process a pending event as a result of that SelectionKey then the NioEventLoop will see the SelecitonKey is invalid and close the channel. The NioEventLoop should not close a channel if it is not registered with that NioEventLoop.
Modifications:
- NioEventLoop.processSelectedKeys should check that the channel is still registered to itself before closing the channel
Result:
NioEventLoop doesn't close a channel that is no longer registered to it when the SelectionKey is invalid
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5125
Motivation:
NioEventLoopGroup supports constructors which take an executor but EpollEventLoopGroup does not. EPOLL should be consistent with NIO where ever possible.
Modifications:
- Add constructors to EpollEventLoopGroup which accept an Executor as a parameter
Result:
EpollEventLoopGroup is more consistent with NioEventLoopGroup
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5161
Motivation:
Before release 4.1.0.Final we should update all our dependencies.
Modifications:
Update dependencies.
Result:
Up-to-date dependencies used.
Motivation:
We lately added ByteBuf.isReadOnly() which allows to detect if a buffer is read-only or not. We should add ByteBuf.asReadOnly() to allow easily access a read-only version of a buffer.
Modifications:
- Add ByteBuf.asReadOnly()
- Deprecate Unpooled.unmodifiableBuffer(Bytebuf)
Result:
More consistent api.
Motivation:
b112673554 added ChannelInputShutdownEvent support to ByteToMessageDecoder but missed updating the code for ReplayingDecoder. This has the effect:
- If a ChannelInputShutdownEvent is fired ByteToMessageDecoder (the super-class of ReplayingDecoder) will call the channelInputClosed(...) method which will pass the incorrect buffer to the decode method of ReplayingDecoder.
Modifications:
Share more code between ByteToMessageDEcoder and ReplayingDecoder and so also support ChannelInputShutdownEvent correctly in ReplayingDecoder
Result:
ChannelInputShutdownEvent is corrrectly handle in ReplayingDecoder as well.
Motivation:
We missed to reset the decoder when asked for it in HttpObjectDecoder and so sometimes could produce more then one LastHttpContent in a sequence during channelInactive.
This did show up as AssertionError:
22:22:35.499 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-1] WARN i.n.channel.DefaultChannelPipeline - An exceptionCaught() event was fired, and it reached at the tail of the pipeline. It usually means the last handler in the pipeline did not handle the exception.

Modifications:
Correctly reset decoder.
Result:
Correctly only produce one LastHttpContent per sequence.
Motivation:
As we only provide tcnative jars for 64bit we should enforce 64bit when try to build netty, to make it easier for the user to understand why the build fails.
Modifications:
Add enforce rule.
Result:
Ensure 64bit is used when build netty.
We need to check if this handler was removed before continuing with decoding.
If it was removed, it is not safe to continue to operate on the buffer. This was already fixed for ByteToMessageDecoder in 4cdbe39284 but missed for ReplayingDecoder.
Modifications:
Check if decoder was removed after fire messages through the pipeline.
Result:
No illegal buffer access when decoder was removed.
Motivation:
When FixedCompositeByteBuf was constructed with new ByteBuf[0] and IndexOutOfboundsException was thrown.
Modifications:
Fix constructor
Result:
No more exception
Motivation:
We should not cache the SwappedByteBuf in AbstractByteBuf to reduce the memory footprint.
Modifications:
Not cache the SwappedByteBuf.
Result:
Less memory footprint.
Motivation:
Some ByteBuf implementations do not override all necessary methods,
which can lead to potentially sub-optimal behavior.
Also, SlicedByteBuf does not perform the range check correctly due to
missing overrides.
Modifications:
- Add missing overrides
- Use unwrap() instead of direct member access in derived buffers for
consistency
- Merge unwrap0() into unwrap() using covariant return type
- Deprecate AbstractDerivedByteBuf and its subtypes, because they were
not meant to be public
Result:
Correctness
Motivation:
Some applications may use alternative methods of loading the epoll JNI symbols. We should support this use case.
Modifications:
Attempt to use a side effect free JNI method. If that fails, load the library.
Result:
Fixes#5122
Motivation:
Some applications may use alternative methods of loading the tcnative JNI symbols. We should support this use case.
Modifications:
Separate the loading and initialzation of the tcnative library so that each can fail independently.
Result:
Fixes#5043
