Motivation:
The HTTP/2 connection preface logic is currently handled in two places.
Reading/writing the client preface string is handled by
Http2PrefaceHandler while the reading/writing of the initial settings
frame is handled by AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler. Given that their
isn't much code in Http2PrefaceHandler, it makes sense to just merge it
into the preface handling logic of AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler. This
will also make configuring the pipeline simpler for HTTP/2.
Modifications:
Removed Http2PrefaceHandler and added it's logic to
AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler. Updated other classes depending on
Http2PrefaceHandler.
Result:
All of the HTTP/2 connection preface processing logic is now in one
place.
Motivation:
A few items were identified where the http2 codec is out of compliance
with the spec.
Modifications:
- Fixed handling of priority weight on the wire. Now adding 1 after
reading from the wire and subtracing 1 before writing.
- Fixed handling of next stream ID. Client streamIds were starting at 3,
but they need to start at 1 to allow the upgrade from HTTP/1.1. Also
making next stream ID logic more flexible. Allowing the next created
stream to be any number in the sequence following the previously created
stream.
- Disallowing SETTINGS frames with ENABLE_PUSH specified for server
endpoints. This means that attempts to write this frame from a server,
or read it from a client will fail.
Result:
The http2 implementation will be more inline with the spec.
Motivation:
The Http2FrameObserver isn't provided the ChannelHandlerContext when
it's called back. This will force observers to find an alternative means
of obtaining the context if they need to do things like copying buffers.
Modifications:
Changed the Http2FrameReader and Http2FrameObserver to include the
context. Updated all other uses of these interfaces.
Result:
Frame observers will now have the channel context.
Motivation:
Draft 12 has just arrived and has quite a few changes. Need to update in
order to keep current with the spec.
Modifications:
This is a rewrite of the original (draft 10) code. There are only 2
handlers now: preface and connection. The connection handler is now
callback based rather than frame based (there are no frame classes
anymore). AbstractHttp2ConnectionHandler is the base class for any
HTTP/2 handlers. All of the stream priority logic now resides in the
outbound flow controller, and its interface exposes methods for
adding/updating priority for streams.
Upgraded to hpack 0.7.0, which is used by draft12. Also removed
draft10 code and moved draft12 code to the ../http2 package
(no draft subpackage).
Result:
Addition of a HTTP/2 draft 12 support.
Motivation:
4 and 5 were diverged long time ago and we recently reverted some of the
early commits in master. We must make sure 4.1 and master are not very
different now.
Modification:
Remove ChannelHandlerInvoker.writeAndFlush(...) and the related
implementations.
Result:
4.1 and master got closer.

Modification:
Fix found differences

See: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2402
See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-10#section-3.5
Only the client should send the preface string, the server should not.
"The server connection header consists of just a SETTINGS frame (Section 6.5)
that MUST be the first frame the server sends in the HTTP/2 connection."
Modifications:
Split out Http2ClientPrefaceWriter and Http2ServerPrefaceReader from
Http2FrameEncoder and Http2FrameDecoder. The new channel handlers are added
to the pipeline and remove themselves after the preface is written/read.
Result:
HTTP2 client sends preface, server does not, in compliance with spec.
Motivation:
HTTP2 is generally negotiated over SSL, makes more sense to provide an SSL example.
Modifications:
Copy the SDPY example to add SSL and NPN negotiation to the HTTP2 example.
Result:
Http2Server and Http2Client examples use SSL.
Motivation:
The HTTP2 example client logs, and it's useful to show what's
going on. It'd be sweet if the server did too.
Modifications:
Added Http2FrameLogger to example server pipeline.
Result:
HTTP2 example server will log frames.
Motivation:
Currently, the SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is based upon
the ChannelHandler abstraction. This requires maintaining multiple
versions for 3.x and 4.x (and possibly 5.x moving forward).
Modifications:
The SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is separated from the
ChannelHandler and SpdyFrame abstractions. Also test coverage is
improved.
Result:
SpdyFrameCodec now implements the ChannelHandler abstraction and is
responsible for creating and handling SpdyFrame objects.
Motivation:
Currently, there exists no example which shows how to use the memcache binary
protocol.
Modifications:
Add an example client and client handler to show how to utilize the binary
protocol in a memcache client with a simple interactive shell.
Result:
Users looking for an example can now start off with the provided one.
Motivation:
When using System.getProperty(...) and various methods to get a ClassLoader it will fail when a SecurityManager is in place.
Modifications:
Use a priveled block if needed. This work is based in the PR #2353 done by @anilsaldhana .
Result:
Code works also when SecurityManager is present
Motivation:
Provide some example code to show how to bootstrap client and server for
use with HTTP/2 framing.
Modifications:
- Fixed Http2ConnectionHandler to allow headers after stream creation.
Needed for response headers.
- Added toString() to all frame classes to help with debugging/logging
- Added example classes for HTTP/2
Result:
HTTP/2 connections now properly support response headers. Examples for
HTTP/2 provided with the distribution of examples module.
After your change, what will change.
Motivation:
Currently the CORS support only handles a single origin, or a wildcard
origin. This task should enhance Netty's CORS support to allow multiple
origins to be specified. Just being allowed to specify one origin is
particulary limiting when a site support both http and https for
example.
Modifications:
- Updated CorsConfig and its Builder to accept multiple origins.
Result:
Users are now able to configure multiple origins for CORS.

Merged WebSocketClient and WebSocketSslClient
Add private constructors to fix checkstyle errors.
More checkstyle madness.
made WebSocketClientRunner final
- Move the version number to the parent pom's pluginManagement section
- Remove unnecessary system properties
- Increase the scope of execution from compile to runtime
Demonstrates the usage of SPDY from a client perspective. One can also
use a SPDY-enabled browser as a client, but it’s easier to understand
the internals of the protocol from a client point-of-view if you have
some code you can debug.
* No need to calculate the hash of known header names multiple times
* Optimize header encoding
* Also optimize the encoding of known header values
* Optimize encoding of HTTP method, version and status
- Fixes#1808
- Move all methods in ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler up to ChannelHandler
- Remove ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler
- Deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter, ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter, and ChannelDuplexHandler
- Replace CombinedChannelDuplexHandler with ChannelHandlerAppender
because it's not possible to combine two handlers into one easily now
- Introduce 'Skip' annotation to pass events through efficiently
- Remove all references to the deprecated types and update Javadoc
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
- Fixes#1912
- Add ChannelHandlerInvoker and its default implementation
- Add pipeline manipulation methods that accept ChannelHandlerInvoker
- Rename Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Invoker to
Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Ops to avoid confusion
- Remove the Javadoc references to the package-private interfaces
- Related issues: #1937#1938 and #1946
- Add InterfaceHttpPostRequestDecoder and Make HttpPostRequestDecoder implement it
- HttpPostRequestDecoder actually delegates itself to HttpPostStandardRequestDecoder or HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder
- Remove IncompatibleDataDecoderException because it's not thrown anywhere now
- Fix a bug in DefaultProgressivePromise.tryProgress() where the notification is dropped
- Fix a bug in AbstractChannel.calculateMessageSize() where FileRegion is not counted
- HttpStaticFileServer example now uses zero copy file transfer if possible.
- write() now accepts a ChannelPromise and returns ChannelFuture as most
users expected. It makes the user's life much easier because it is
now much easier to get notified when a specific message has been
written.
- flush() does not create a ChannelPromise nor returns ChannelFuture.
It is now similar to what read() looks like.
- Remove channelReadSuspended because it's actually same with messageReceivedLast
- Rename messageReceived to channelRead
- Rename messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete
We renamed messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete because it
reflects what it really is for. Also, we renamed messageReceived to
channelRead for consistency in method names.
I must admit MesageList was pain in the ass. Instead of forcing a
handler always loop over the list of messages, this commit splits
messageReceived(ctx, list) into two event handlers:
- messageReceived(ctx, msg)
- mmessageReceivedLast(ctx)
When Netty reads one or more messages, messageReceived(ctx, msg) event
is triggered for each message. Once the current read operation is
finished, messageReceivedLast() is triggered to tell the handler that
the last messageReceived() was the last message in the current batch.
Similarly, for outbound, write(ctx, list) has been split into two:
- write(ctx, msg)
- flush(ctx, promise)
Instead of writing a list of message with a promise, a user is now
supposed to call write(msg) multiple times and then call flush() to
actually flush the buffered messages.
Please note that write() doesn't have a promise with it. You must call
flush() to get notified on completion. (or you can use writeAndFlush())
Other changes:
- Because MessageList is completely hidden, codec framework uses
List<Object> instead of MessageList as an output parameter.
- SimpleChannelInboundHandler now has a constructor parameter to let a
user decide to enable automatic message release. (the default is to
enable), which makes ChannelInboundConsumingHandler of less value.
