Motivation:
CORS request are currently processed, and potentially failed, after the
target ChannelHandler(s) have been invoked. This might not be desired, for
example a HTTP PUT or POST might have been performed.
Modifications:
Added a shortCurcuit option to CorsConfig which when set will
cause a validation of the HTTP request's 'Origin' header and verify that
it is valid according to the configuration. If found invalid an 403
"Forbidden" response will be returned and not further processing will
take place.
This is indeed no help for non browser request, like using curl, which
can set the 'Origin' header.
Result:
Users can now configure if the 'Origin' header should be validated
upfront and have the request rejected before any further processing
takes place.
Motivation:
Because of not correctly release a buffer before null out the reference a memory leak shows up.
Modifications:
Correct call buffer.release() before null out reference.
Result:
No more leak
Motivation:
Currently there's no way to configure maxFramePayloadSize from
WebSocketServerProtocolHandler, which is the most used entry point of
WebSocket server.
Modifications:
Added another constructor for maxFramePayloadSize.
Result:
We can configure max frame size for websocket packet in
WebSocketServerProtocolHandler. It will also keep backward compatibility
with default max size: 65536. (65536 is hard-coded max size in previous
version of Netty)
Motivation:
Before we aggregated the full text in the WebSocket08FrameDecoder just to fill in the ContinuationWebSocketFrame.aggregatedText(). The problem was that there was no upper-limit and so it would be possible to see an OOME if the remote peer sends a TextWebSocketFrame + a never ending stream of ContinuationWebSocketFrames. Furthermore the aggregation does not really belong in the WebSocket08FrameDecoder, as we provide an extra ChannelHandler for this anyway (WebSocketFrameAggregator).
Modification:
Remove the ContinuationWebSocketFrame.aggregatedText() method and corresponding constructor. Also refactored WebSocket08FrameDecoder a bit to me more efficient which is now possible as we not need to aggregate here.
Result:
No more risk of OOME because of frames.
Motivation:
When CORS has been configured to allow "*" origin, and at the same time
is allowing credentials/cookies, this causes an error from the browser
because when the response 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header
is true, the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' must be an actual origin.
Modifications:
Changed CorsHandler setOrigin method to check for the combination of "*"
origin and allowCredentials, and if the check matches echo the CORS
request's 'Origin' value.
Result:
This addition enables the echoing of the request 'Origin' value as the
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' value when the server has been configured
to allow any origin in combination with allowCredentials.
This allows client requests to succeed when expecting the server to
be able to handle "*" origin and at the same time be able to send cookies
by setting 'xhr.withCredentials=true'. A concrete example of this is
the SockJS protocol which expects behaviour.
Motivation:
Make it more clear what the output of HttpObjectAggregator is and that it need to come after the encoder in the pipeline.
Modifications:
Change javadocs to make things more clear.
Result:
Better docs
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during running SpdyFrameDecoderTest
Modifications:
Make sure the produced buffers of SpdyFrameDecoder and SpdyFrameDecoderTest are released
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during running SpdyFrameDecoderTest
Modifications:
Make sure the produced buffer of SpdyFrameDecoder is released
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during SPDY test.
Modifications:
Use ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) to make sure everything is released once the tests are done.
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
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:
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.

Motivation:
Previously, we used URLDecoder.decode(...) to decode url-encoded data. This generates a lot of garbage and takes a considerable amount of time.
Modifications:
Replace URLDecoder.decode(...) with QueryStringDecoder.decodeComponent(...)
Result:
Less garbage to GC and faster decode processing.
Motivation:
When running the build with Java 8 the following error occurred:
java: reference to preflightResponseHeader is ambiguous
both method
<T>preflightResponseHeader(java.lang.CharSequence,java.lang.Iterable<T>)
in io.netty.handler.codec.http.cors.CorsConfig.Builder and method
<T>preflightResponseHeader(java.lang.String,java.util.concurrent.Callable<T>)
in io.netty.handler.codec.http.cors.CorsConfig.Builder match
The offending class was CorsConfigTest and its shouldThrowIfValueIsNull
which contained the following line:
withOrigin("*").preflightResponseHeader("HeaderName", null).build();
Modifications:
Updated the offending method with to supply a type, and object array, to
avoid the error.
Result:
After this I was able to build with Java 7 and Java 8
Motivation:
An intermediary like a load balancer might require that a Cross Origin
Resource Sharing (CORS) preflight request have certain headers set.
As a concrete example the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) requires the
'Date' and 'Content-Length' header to be set or it will fail with a 502
error code.
This works is an enhancement of https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/2290
Modifications:
CorsConfig has been extended to make additional HTTP response headers
configurable for preflight responses. Since some headers, like the
'Date' header need to be generated each time, m0wfo suggested using a
Callable.
Result:
By default, the 'Date' and 'Content-Lenght' headers will be sent in a
preflight response. This can be overriden and users can specify
any headers that might be required by different intermediaries.
Motivation:
If the last item analyzed in a previous received HttpChunk/HttpContent was a part of an attribute's name, the read index was not set to the new right place and therefore raizing an exception in some case (since the "new" name analyzed is empty, which is not allowed so the exception).
What appears there is that the read index should be reset to the last valid position encountered whatever the case. Currently it was set when only when there is an attribute not already finished (name is ok, but content is possibly not).
Therefore the issue is that elements could be rescanned multiple times (including completed elements) and moreover some bad decoding can occur such as when in a middle of an attribute's name.
Modifications:
To fix this issue, since "firstpos" contains the last "valid" read index of the decoding (when finding a '&', '=', 'CR/LF'), we should add the setting of the read index for the following cases:
'lastchunk' encountered, therefore finishing the current buffer
any other cases than current attribute is not finished (name not found yet in particular)
So adding for this 2 cases:
undecodedChunk.readerIndex(firstpos);
Result:
Now the decoding is done once, content is added from chunk/content to chunk/content, name is decoded correctly even if in the middle of 2 chunks/contents.
A Junit test code was added: testChunkCorrect that should not raized any exception.
Motivation:
When an HttpResponseDecoder decodes an invalid chunk, a LastHttpContent instance is produced and the decoder enters the 'BAD_MESSAGE' state, which is not supposed to produce a message any further. However, because HttpObjectDecoder.invalidChunk() did not clear this.message out to null, decodeLast() will produce another LastHttpContent message on a certain situation.
Modification:
Do not forget to null out HttpObjectDecoder.message in invalidChunk(), and add a test case for it.
Result:
No more consecutive LastHttpContent messages produced by HttpObjectDecoder.
NPN server providers return a String version of the negotiated protocol
and the getProtocolByName method allows to easily get an instance of
the SelectedProtocol enum and avoid the need for a switch statement in
each subclass to match the String against the enum value.
- Since Netty 4, HTTP decoder does not generate a full message at all. Therefore, there's no need to keep separate states for the content smaller than maxChunkSize.
- maxChunkSize must be greater than 0. Setting it to 0 should not disable chunked encoding. We have a dedicated flag for that.
- Uncommented the tests that were commented out for an unknown reason, with some fixes.
- Added more tests for HTTP decoder.
- Removed the Ignore annotation on some tests.
- 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
- This commit allows a user to write its first web socket frame right after calling WebSocketServerHandshaker.handshake() rather than adding a listener to the future it returns.
- Should fix#1933
encode of chunked content is not the most common pattern so moving it to an extra method makes it possible to inline the rest as it is a smaller method now.
* Minimize allocation of StringBuilder and also minimize char array copy
* Try to detect HttpVersion without calling toUpperCase() for performance reasons
