Motivation:
As report in #2953 the websocket server example contained a bug and did therefore not work with chrome:
A websocket extension is added to the pipeline but extensions were disallowed in the handshaker and decoder,
which is leading the decoder to closing the connection after receiving an extension frame.
Modifications:
Allow websocket extensions in the handshaker to correctly enable the extension.
Result:
Working websocket server example
Fixes#2953

Result:
Working websocket server example
Fixes#2953
Motivation:
It is often helpful to measure the performance of connections, e.g. the
latency and the throughput. This can be performed through benchmarks.
Modification:
This adds a simple but configurable benchmark for websockets into the
example directory. The Netty WebSocket server will echo all received
websocket frames and will provide an HTML/JS page which serves as the
client for the benchmark.
The benchmark also provides a verification mode that verifies the sent
against the received data. This can be used for the verification ob
websocket frame encoding and decoding funtionality.
Result:
A benchmark is added in form a further Netty websocket example.
With this benchmark it is easily possible to measure the performance between Netty and a browser
Motivation:
We incorrectly used SslContext.newServerContext() in some places where a we needed a client context.
Modifications:
Use SslContext.newClientContext() when using ssl on the client side.
Result:
Working ssl client examples.
Motivation:
The example mis handle two elements:
1) Last message is a LastHttpContent and is not taken into account by
the server handler
2) The client makes a sync on last write (chunked) but there is no flush
before, therefore the sync is waiting forever.
Modifications:
1) Take into account the message LastHttpContent in simple Get.
2) Removes sync but add flush for each post and multipost parts
Results:
Example is no more blocked after get test.
Should be done also in 4.0 and Master (similar changes)
Motivation:
HttpOrSpdyChooser can be simplified so the user not need to implement getProtocol(...) method.
Modification:
Add implementation for the method. The user can override it if necessary.
Result:
Easier usage of HttpOrSpdyChooser.
Motivation:
OkResponseHandler is the last handler in the pipeline of the HTTP CORS
example. It is responsible for releasing all messages it handled.
Modification:
Extend SimpleChannelInboundHandler instead of
ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter
Result:
Fixed a leak
Revert the removal of 'get' prefix from HTTP classes to ensure ABI
compatibility. Note that this commit does not revert the changes in
SPDY, which is considered experimental.
Motivation:
Persuit for the consistency in method naming
Modifications:
- Remove the 'get' prefix from all HTTP/SPDY message classes
- Fix some inspector warnings
Result:
Consistency
Fixes#2594
Motivation:
Currently OkResponseHandler returns a DefaultHttpResponse which is not
correct and it should be returning complete http response.
Modifications:
Updated OkResponseHandler to return an instance of
DefaultFullHttpResponse.
Result:
It is not possible to add compression to the example without getting any
errors.
Motivation:
maven-antrun-plugin does not redirect stdin, and thus it's impossible to
run interactive examples such as securechat-client and telnet-client.
org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin redirects stdin, but it buffers
stdout and stderr, and thus an application output is not flushed timely.
Modifications:
Deploy a forked version of exec-maven-plugin which flushes output
buffers in a timely manner.
Result:
Interactive examples work. Launches faster than maven-antrun-plugin.
Motivation:
The examples have not been updated since long time ago, showing various
issues fixed in this commit.
Modifications:
- Overall simplification to reduce LoC
- Use system properties to get options instead of parsing args.
- Minimize option validation
- Just use System.out/err instead of Logger
- Do not pass config as parameters - just access it directly
- Move the main logic to main(String[]) instead of creating a new
instance meaninglessly
- Update netty-build-21 to make checkstyle not complain
- Remove 'throws Exception' clause if possible
- Line wrap at 120 (previously at 80)
- Add an option to enable SSL for most examples
- Use ChannelFuture.sync() instead of await()
- Use System.out for the actual result. Use System.err otherwise.
- Delete examples that are not very useful:
- applet
- websocket/html5
- websocketx/sslserver
- localecho/multithreaded
- Add run-example.sh which simplifies launching an example from command
line
- Rewrite FileServer example
Result:
Shorter and simpler examples. A user can focus more on what it actually
does than miscellaneous stuff. A user can launch an example very
easily.
Motivation:
exec-maven-plugin does not flush stdout and stderr, making the console
output from the examples invisible to users
Modification:
Use maven-antrun-plugin instead
Result:
A user sees the output from the examples immediately.
Motivation:
According to TLS ALPN draft-05, a client sends the list of the supported
protocols and a server responds with the selected protocol, which is
different from NPN. Therefore, ApplicationProtocolSelector won't work
with ALPN
Modifications:
- Use Iterable<String> to list the supported protocols on the client
side, rather than using ApplicationProtocolSelector
- Remove ApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
Future compatibility with TLS ALPN
Motivation:
- OpenSslEngine and JDK SSLEngine (+ Jetty NPN) have different APIs to
support NextProtoNego extension.
- It is impossible to configure NPN with SslContext when the provider
type is JDK.
Modification:
- Implement NextProtoNego extension by overriding the behavior of
SSLSession.getProtocol() for both OpenSSLEngine and JDK SSLEngine.
- SSLEngine.getProtocol() returns a string delimited by a colon (':')
where the first component is the transport protosol (e.g. TLSv1.2)
and the second component is the name of the application protocol
- Remove the direct reference of Jetty NPN classes from the examples
- Add SslContext.newApplicationProtocolSelector
Result:
- A user can now use both JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine for NPN-based
protocols such as HTTP2 and SPDY
Motivation:
- There's no way to pass an argument to an example.
- Assigning a Maven profile for each example is an overkill.
It makes the pom.xml crowded.
Modifications:
- Remove example profiles from example/pom.xml
- Keep the list of examples in run-example.sh
- run-example.sh passes all options to exec-maven-plugin.
For example, we can now do this:
./run-example.sh -Dssl -Dport=443 http-server
Result:
- It's much easier to add a new example and provide an easy way to
launch it.
- We can still pass an arbitrary argument to the example being launched.
(I'll update all examples to make them get their options from system
properties rather than from args[].
Motivation:
Build fails with JDK 8 because npn-boot does not work with JDK 8
Modifications:
Do not specify bootclasspath when on JDK 8
Result:
Build is green again.
Motivation:
- example/pom.xml has quite a bit of duplication.
- We expect that we depend on npn-boot in more than one module in the
near future. (e.g. handler, codec-http, and codec-http2)
Modification:
- Deduplicate the profiles in example/pom.xml
- Move the build configuration related with npn-boot to the parent pom.
- Add run-example.sh that helps a user launch an example easily
Result:
- Cleaner build files
- Easier to add a new example
- Easier to launch an example
- Easier to run the tests that relies on npn-boot in the future
Motivation:
It's useful to have netty-tcnative dependency in netty-example because
we can play with OpenSslEngine from our IDE.
Modifications:
Add netty-tcnative to example/pom.xml
Motivation:
Some users already use an SSLEngine implementation in finagle-native. It
wraps OpenSSL to get higher SSL performance. However, to take advantage
of it, finagle-native must be compiled manually, and it means we cannot
pull it in as a dependency and thus we cannot test our SslHandler
against the OpenSSL-based SSLEngine. For an instance, we had #2216.
Because the construction procedures of JDK SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
are very different from each other, we also need to provide a universal
way to enable SSL in a Netty application.
Modifications:
- Pull netty-tcnative in as an optional dependency.
http://netty.io/wiki/forked-tomcat-native.html
- Backport NativeLibraryLoader from 4.0
- Move OpenSSL-based SSLEngine implementation into our code base.
- Copied from finagle-native; originally written by @jpinner et al.
- Overall cleanup by @trustin.
- Run all SslHandler tests with both default SSLEngine and OpenSslEngine
- Add a unified API for creating an SSL context
- SslContext allows you to create a new SSLEngine or a new SslHandler
with your PKCS#8 key and X.509 certificate chain.
- Add JdkSslContext and its subclasses
- Add OpenSslServerContext
- Add ApplicationProtocolSelector to ensure the future support for NPN
(NextProtoNego) and ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation) on
the client-side.
- Add SimpleTrustManagerFactory to help a user write a
TrustManagerFactory easily, which should be useful for those who need
to write an alternative verification mechanism. For example, we can
use it to implement an unsafe TrustManagerFactory that accepts
self-signed certificates for testing purposes.
- Add InsecureTrustManagerFactory and FingerprintTrustManager for quick
and dirty testing
- Add SelfSignedCertificate class which generates a self-signed X.509
certificate very easily.
- Update all our examples to use SslContext.newClient/ServerContext()
- SslHandler now logs the chosen cipher suite when handshake is
finished.
Result:
- Cleaner unified API for configuring an SSL client and an SSL server
regardless of its internal implementation.
- When native libraries are available, OpenSSL-based SSLEngine
implementation is selected automatically to take advantage of its
performance benefit.
- Examples take advantage of this modification and thus are cleaner.
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.
Conflicts:
codec-http/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/spdy/SpdyFrameCodec.java
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:
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.
- 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
