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:
junit deprecated Assert.assertThat(...)
Modifications:
Use MatcherAssert.assertThat(...) as replacement for deprecated method
Result:
Less deprecation warnings
Motivation:
939e928312 introduced MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider which will ensure the right nameservers are selected when running on MacOS. To ensure this is done automatically on MacOS we should use it by default on these platforms.
Modifications:
Try to use MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider when on MacOS via reflection and fallback if not possible
Result:
Ensure the right nameservers are used on MacOS even when a VPN (for example) is used.
Motivation:
The resolver API and implementations should be considered stable by now so we should not mark these with @UnstableApi
Modifications:
Remove @UnstableApi annotation from API and implementation of resolver
Result:
Make it explicit that the API is considered stable
Motivation:
On MacOS it is not really good enough to check /etc/resolv.conf to determine the nameservers to use. We should retrieve the nameservers using the same way as mDNSResponser and chromium does by doing a JNI call.
Modifications:
Add MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider and testcase
Result:
Use correct nameservers by default on MacOS.
