Related issue: #1133
Motivation:
There is no support for client socket connections via a proxy server in
Netty.
Modifications:
- Add a new module 'handler-proxy'
- Add ProxyHandler and its subclasses to support SOCKS 4a/5 and HTTP(S)
proxy connections
- Add a full parameterized test for most scenarios
- Clean up pom.xml
Result:
A user can make an outgoing connection via proxy servers with only
trivial effort.
- Use simple string concatenation instead of String.format()
- Rewrite exception messages so that it follows our style
- Merge MqttCommonUtil and MqttValidationUtil into MqttCodecUtil
- Hide MqttCodecUtil from users
- Rename MqttConnectReturnCode.value to byteValue
- Rename MqttMessageFactory.create*() to new*()
- Rename QoS to MqttQoS
- Make MqttSubAckPayload.grantedQoSLevels immutable and add more useful
constructor
MQTT is a open source protocol on top of TCP which is widely used in
mobile communication and also for IoT (Internet of Things) today. This
will add an open source implementation of MQTT so that it becomes easier
for Netty users to implement an MQTT application.
