Motivation:
As all methods in the ChannelHandler are executed by the same thread there is no need to use synchronized.
Modifications:
Remove synchronized keyword.
Result:
No more unnessary synchronized in SpdySessionHandler.
Motivation:
Whe a 100 Continue response was written an IllegalStateException was produced as soon as the user wrote the following response. This regression was introduced by 41b0080fcc.
Modifications:
- Special handle 100 Continue responses
- Added unit tests
Result:
Fixed regression.
Motivation:
Hixie 76 needs special handling compared to other connection upgrade responses. Our detection code of non websocket responses did actually always use the special handling that only should be used for Hixie 76 responses.
Modifications:
Correctly detect connection upgrade responses which are not for websockets.
Result:
Be able to upgrade connections for other protocols then websockets.
Motivation:
The HTTP specification defines specific request-targets in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3. Netty does not have a way to distinguish between these differnt types, and there is currently no obvious location where these types of methods would live.
Modifications:
- Add methods to distinguish request-targets as defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3
Result:
Common utitlity methods exist to inpsect request-targets.
Motivation:
Due not using a cast we insert 32 and not a whitespace into the String.
Modifications:
Correclty cast to char.
Result:
Correct handling of whitespaces.
Motivation:
The HttpObjectAggregator always responds with a 100-continue response. It should check the Content-Length header to see if the content length is OK, and if not responds with a 417.
Modifications:
- HttpObjectAggregator checks the Content-Length header in the case of a 100-continue.
Result:
HttpObjectAggregator responds with 417 if content is known to be too big.
Motivation:
In the event an HTTP message does not include either a content-length or a transfer-encoding header [RFC 7230](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.3) states the behavior must be treated differently for requests and responses. If the channel is half closed then the HttpObjectDecoder is not invoking decodeLast and thus not checking if messages should be sent up the pipeline.
Modifications:
- Add comments to clarify regular decode default case.
- Handle the ChannelInputShutdownEvent in the HttpObjectDecoder and evaluate if messages need to be generated.
Result:
Messages are generated on half closed, and comments clarify existing logic.
Motivation:
The SPDY spec requires that all header names be lowercase (see https://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft3-1#TOC-3.2-HTTP-Request-Response). The SPDY codec header name validator does not enforce this requirement.
Modifications:
- SpdyCodecUtil.validateHeaderName should check for upper case characters and throw an error if any are found.
Result:
SPDY codec header validation enforces specification requirement.
Motivation:
The HttpObjectDecoder is on the hot code path for the http codec. There are a few hot methods which can be modified to improve performance.
Modifications:
- Modify AppendableCharSequence to provide unsafe methods which don't need to re-check bounds for every call.
- Update HttpObjectDecoder methods to take advantage of new AppendableCharSequence methods.
Result:
Peformance boost for decoding http objects.
Motivation:
WebSocketServerHandshakerFactory.sendUnsupportedVersionResponse does not
send a LastHttpContent, nor does it flush, and it doesn't send a content
length.
Modifications:
Changed sendUnsupportedVersionResponse to send FullHttpResponse, to
writeAndFlush, and to set a content length of 0. Also added a test for
this method.
Result:
Upstream handlers will be able to determine the end of the response, the
response will actually get written to the client, and the client will be
able to determine the end of the response.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we never allow to have null values set on headers, otherwise we will see a NPE during encoding them.
Modifications:
Add null check.
Result:
Correctly throw exception when a null header value is added/set
Motivation:
SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser duplicate fair amount code with each other.
Modification:
- Replace SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser with ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler
- Add ApplicationProtocolNames to define the known application-level protocol names
- Deprecate SpdyOrHttpChooser
Result:
- Less code duplication
- A user can perform dynamic pipeline configuration that follows ALPN/NPN for any protocols.
Related: #3641 and #3813
Motivation:
When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.
Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.
The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.
Modifications:
- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
application protocol
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
only, so that it conforms to its contract.
Result:
- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box
Motivation:
Found a bug in that netty would generate a 20 byte body when returing a response
to an HTTP HEAD. the 20 bytes seems to be related to the compression footer.
RFC2616, section 9.4 states that responses to an HTTP HEAD MUST not return a message
body in the response.
Netty's own client implementation expected an empty response. The extra bytes lead to a
2nd response with an error decoder result:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid version format: 14
Modifications:
Track the HTTP request method. When processing the response we determine if the response
is passthru unnchanged. This decision now takes into account the request method and passthru
responses related to HTTP HEAD requests.
Result:
Netty's http client works and better RFC conformance.
Motivation:
* Path attribute should be null, not empty String, if it's passed as "Path=".
* Only extract attribute value when the name is recognized.
* Only extract Expires attribute value String if MaxAge is undefined as it has precedence.
Modification:
Modify ClientCookieDecoder.
Add "testIgnoreEmptyPath" test in ClientCookieDecoderTest.
Result:
More idyomatic Path behavior (like Domain).
Minor performance improvement in some corner cases.
Motivations:
When using HttpPostRequestEncoder and trying to set an attribute if a
charset is defined, currenlty implicit Charset.toStrng() is used, given
wrong format.
As in Android for UTF-16 = "com.ibm.icu4jni.charset.CharsetICU[UTF-16]".
Modifications:
Each time charset is used to be printed as its name, charset.name() is
used to get the canonical name.
Result:
Now get "UTF-16" instead.
(3.10 version)
RFC6265 specifies which characters are allowed in a cookie name and value.
Netty is currently too lax, which can used for HttpOnly escaping.
Modification:
In ServerCookieDecoder: discard cookie key-value pairs that contain invalid characters.
In ClientCookieEncoder: throw an exception when trying to encode cookies with invalid characters.
Result:
The problem described in the motivation section is fixed.
Motivation:
Our automatically handling of non-auto-read failed because it not detected the need of calling read again by itself if nothing was decoded. Beside this handling of non-auto-read never worked for SslHandler as it always triggered a read even if it decoded a message and auto-read was false.
This fixes [#3529] and [#3587].
Modifications:
- Implement handling of calling read when nothing was decoded (with non-auto-read) to ByteToMessageDecoder again
- Correctly respect non-auto-read by SslHandler
Result:
No more stales and correctly respecting of non-auto-read by SslHandler.
Motivation:
Other implementations of FullHttpMessage allow .toString to be called after the Message has been released
This brings AggregatedFullHttpMessage into line with those impls.
Modifications:
- Changed AggregatedFullHttpMessage to no longer be a sub-class of DefaultByteBufHolder
- Changes AggregatedFullHttpMessage to implement ByteBufHolder
- Hold the content buffer internally to AggregatedFullHttpMessage
- Implement the required content() and release() methods that were missing
- Do not check refcnt when accessing content() (similar to DefaultFullHttpMessage)
Result:
A released AggregatedFullHttpMessage can have .toString called without throwing an exception
(Ported @luciferous's changes against 3.10)
Motivation:
The current implementation of the encoder writes each character of the
String as a single byte to the buffer, however not all characters are
mappable to a single byte.
Modifications:
If a character is outside the ASCII range, it's converted to '?'.
Result:
A safer encoder for String to ASCII, which substitutes unmappable
Motivation:
Not knowing which unit is used for the maxContentLength of the HttpObjectAggregator when reading the Javadoc is annoying and can be a source of bugs.
Modifications:
Added the mention "in bytes"
Result:
Javadoc is clear.
Related: #3445
Motivation:
HttpObjectDecoder.HeaderParser does not reset its counter (the size
field) when it failed to find the end of line. If a header is split
into multiple fragments, the counter is increased as many times as the
number of fragments, resulting an unexpected TooLongFrameException.
Modifications:
- Add test cases that reproduces the problem
- Reset the HeaderParser.size field when no EOL is found.
Result:
One less bug
Motivation:
Currently CORS can be configured to support a 'null' origin, which can
be set by a browser if a resources is loaded from the local file system.
When this is done 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' will be set to "*" (any
origin). There is also a configuration option to allow credentials being
sent from the client (cookies, basic HTTP Authentication, client side
SSL). This is indicated by the response header
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' being set to true. When this is set
to true, the "*" origin is not valid as the value of
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' and a browser will reject the request:
http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-requests
Modifications:
Updated CorsHandler's setAllowCredentials to check the origin and if it
is "*" then it will not add the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'
header.
Result:
Is is possible to have a client send a 'null' origin, and at the same
time have configured the CORS to support that and to allow credentials
in that combination.
Conflicts:
codec-http/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http/cors/CorsHandler.java
Motivation:
To use WebSocketClientHandshaker / WebSocketServerHandshaker it's currently a requirement of having a HttpObjectAggregator in the ChannelPipeline. This is not a big deal when a user only wants to server WebSockets but is a limitation if the server serves WebSockets and normal HTTP traffic.
Modifications:
Allow to use WebSocketClientHandshaker and WebSocketServerHandshaker without HttpObjectAggregator in the ChannelPipeline.
Result:
More flexibility
Motivation:
SonarQube (clinker.netty.io/sonar) reported a resource which may not have been properly closed in all situations in AbstractDiskHttpData.
Modifications:
- Ensure file channels are closed in the presence of exceptions.
- Correct instances where local channels were created but potentially not closed.
Result:
Less leaks. Less SonarQube vulnerabilities.
Motivation:
`HttpResponseDecoder` and `HttpRequestDecoder` in the event when the max configured sizes for HTTP initial line, headers or content is breached, sends a `DefaultHttpResponse` and `DefaultHttpRequest` respectively. After this `HttpObjectDecoder` gets into `BAD_MESSAGE` state and ignores any other data received on this connection.
The combination of the above two behaviors, means that the decoded response/request are not complete (absence of sending `LastHTTPContent`). So, any code, waiting for a complete message will have to additionally check for decoder result to follow the correct semantics of HTTP.
If `HttpResponseDecoder` and `HttpRequestDecoder` creates a Full* invalid message then the request/response is a complete HTTP message and hence obeys the HTTP contract.
Modification:
Modified `HttpRequestDecoder`, `HttpResponseDecoder`, `RtspRequestDecoder` and `RtspResponseDecoder` to return Full* messages from `createInvalidMessage()`
Result:
Fixes the wrong behavior of sending incomplete messages from these codecs
Motivation:
Internet Explorer doesn't honor Set-Cookie header Max-Age attribute. It only honors the Expires one.
Modification:
Always generate an Expires attribute along the Max-Age one.
Result:
Internet Explorer compatible expiring cookies. Close#1466.
Motivation:
HttpContentDecoder had the following issues:
- For chunked content, the decoder set invalid "Content-Length" header
with length of the first decoded chunk.
- Decoding of FullHttpRequests put both the original conent and decoded
content into output. As result, using HttpObjectAggregator before the
decoder lead to errors.
- Requests with "Expect: 100-continue" header were not acknowleged:
the decoder didn't pass the header message down the handler's chain
until content is received. If client expected "100 Continue" response,
deadlock happened.
Modification:
- Invalid "Content-Length" header is removed; handlers down the chain can either
rely on LastHttpContent message or ask HttpObjectAggregator to add the header.
- FullHttpRequest is split into HttpRequest and HttpContent (decoded) parts.
- Header (HttpRequest) part of request is sent down the chain as soon as it's received.
Result:
The issues are fixed, unittest is added.
Motivation:
HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder threw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
when trying to decode Content-Disposition header with filename
containing ';' or protected \\".
See issue #3326 and #3327.
Modifications:
Added splitMultipartHeaderValues method which cares about quotes, and
use it in splitMultipartHeader method, instead of StringUtils.split.
Result:
Filenames can contain semicolons and protected \\".
Motivation:
The SpdyHttpDecoder was modified to support pushed resources that are
divided into multiple frames. The decoder accepts a pushed
SpdySynStreamFrame containing the request headers, followed by a
SpdyHeadersFrame containing the response headers.
Modifications:
This commit modifies the SpdyHttpEncoder so that it encodes pushed
resources in a format that the SpdyHttpDecoder can decode. The encoder
will accept an HttpRequest object containing the request headers,
followed by an HttpResponse object containing the response headers.
Result:
The SpdyHttpEncoder will create a SpdySynStreamFrame followed by a
SpdyHeadersFrame when sending pushed resources.
Motivations:
It seems that slicing a buffer and using this slice to write to CTX will
decrease the initial refCnt to 0, while the original buffer is not yet
fully used (not empty).
Modifications:
As suggested in the ticket and tested, when the currentBuffer is sliced
since it will still be used later on, the currentBuffer is retained.
Add a test case for this issue.
Result::
The currentBuffer still has its correct refCnt when reaching the last
write (not sliced) of 1 and therefore will be released correctly.
The exception does no more occur.
This fix should be applied to all branches >= 4.0.
