Motivation:
JUnit 5 is more expressive, extensible, and composable in many ways, and it's better able to run tests in parallel.
Modifications:
Use JUnit5 in tests
Result:
Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10757
Motivation:
Netty lacks client side support for decompressing Brotli compressed response bodies.
Modification:
* Introduce optional dependency to brotli4j by @hyperxpro. It will be up to the user to provide the brotli4j libraries for the target platform in the classpath. brotli4j is currently available for Linux, OSX and Windows, all for x86 only.
* Introduce BrotliDecoder in codec module
* Plug it onto `HttpContentDecompressor` for HTTP/1 and `DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener` for HTTP/2
* Add test in `HttpContentDecoderTest`
* Add `BrotliDecoderTest` that doesn't extend `AbstractDecoderTest` that looks flaky
Result:
Netty now support decompressing Brotli compressed response bodies.
Motivation:
NullChecks resulting in a NullPointerException or IllegalArgumentException, numeric ranges (>0, >=0) checks, not empty strings/arrays checks must never be anonymous but with the parameter or variable name which is checked. They must be specific and should not be done with an "OR-Logic" (if a == null || b == null) throw new NullPointerEx.
Modifications:
* import static relevant checks
* Replace manual checks with ObjectUtil methods
Result:
All checks needed are done with ObjectUtil, some exception texts are improved.
Fixes#11170
Motivation:
The JDK deflate implementation added support for operating on ByteBuffers in Java 11 or so.
This means that we don't need to restrict that implementation to ByteBufs that are heap based and can expose arrays.
Modification:
Add clauses to JdkZlibEncoder and JdkZlibDecoder for handling ByteBufs that don't have arrays, but do have one nioByteBuffer.
Expand the test coverage in JdkZlibTest to include all relevant combinations of buffer types and data types.
Result:
The JdkZlibEncoder and JdkZlibDecoder should now work on basically all non-composite ByteBufs, and likely also composite ByteBufs that have exactly one component.
Motivation:
This library is obsolete; hasn't been updated since 2013.
Modification:
Remove jzlib dependency, integration code and tests.
Result:
- No more jzlib support.
- Less code.
- The JdkZlib* code can now be simplified because it no longer share anything with jzlib.
Motivation:
To make it possible to experiment with alternative buffer implementations, we need a way to abstract away the concrete buffers used throughout most of the Netty pipelines, while still having a common currency for doing IO in the end.
Modification:
- Introduce an ByteBufConvertible interface, that allow arbitrary objects to convert themselves into ByteBuf objects.
- Every place in the code, where we did an instanceof check for ByteBuf, we now do an instanceof check for ByteBufConvertible.
- ByteBuf itself implements ByteBufConvertible, and returns itself from the asByteBuf method.
Result:
It is now possible to use Netty with alternative buffer implementations, as long as they can be converted to ByteBuf.
This has been verified elsewhere, with an alternative buffer implementation.
Motivation:
If two different headers end up in the same hash bucket, and you are iterating the header that is not the first in the bucket, and you use the iterator to remove the first element returned from the iterator, then you would get a NullPointerException.
Modification:
Change the DefaultHeaders iterator remove method, to re-iterate the hash bucket and unlink the entry once found, if we don't have any existing iteration starting point.
Also made DefaultHeaders.remove0 package private to avoid a synthetic method indirection.
Result:
Removing from iterators from DefaultHeaders is now robust towards hash collisions.
Motivation:
We had multiple bugs in JdkZlibDecoder which could lead to decoding errors when the data was received in a fragmentated manner.
Modifications:
- Correctly handle skipping of comments
- Correctly handle footer / header decoding
- Add unit test that verifies the correct handling of fragmentation
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10875
Motivation:
We need to carefully check for null before we pass the cumulation buffer into decodeLast as callDecode(...) may have removed the codec already and so set cumulation to null.
Modifications:
- Check for null and if we see null use Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFEr
- Only call decodeLast(...) if callDecode(...) didnt remove the handler yet.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10802

There is no need for ByteProcessor to throw a checked exception.
The declared checked exception causes unnecessary code complications just to propagate it.
This can be cleaned up.
Modification:
ByteProcessor.process no longer declares to throw a checked exception, and all the places that were trying to cope with the checked exception have been simplified.
Result:
Simpler code.
Motivation:

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:
LGTM reports multiple issues. They need to be triaged,
and real ones should be fixed.
Modifications:
- Fixed multiple issues reported by LGTM, such as redundant conditions,
resource leaks, typos, possible integer overflows.
- Suppressed false-positives.
- Added a few testcases.
Result:
Fixed several possible issues, get rid of false alarms in the LGTM report.
Raise the Netty 5 minimum required Java version to Java 11.
Motivation:
Java 11 has been out for some time, and Netty 5 is still some ways out.
There are also many good features in Java 11 that we wish to use, such as VarHandles, var-keyword, and the module system.
There is no reason for Netty 5 to not require Java 11, since Netty 4.x will still be supported for the time being.
Modification:
Remove everything in the pom files related to Java versions older than Java 11.
Remove the animal-sniffer plug-in and rely on the `--release` compiler flag instead.
Remove docker files related to Java versions older than Java 11.
Remove the copied SCTP APIs -- we should test this commit independently on Windows.
Remove the OpenJdkSelfSignedCertGenerator.java file and just always use Bouncy Castle for generating self-signed certificates for testing.
Make netty-testsuite tests pass by including Bouncy Castle as a test dependency, so we're able to generate our self-signed certificate.
Result:
Java 11 is now the minimum required Java version.
Motivation:
Avoid implicit conversions to narrower types in
AbstractMemoryHttpData and Bzip2HuffmanStageEncoder classes
reported by LGTM.
Modifications:
Updated the classes to avoid implicit casting to narrower types.
It doesn't look like that an integer overflow is possible there,
therefore no checks for overflows were added.
Result:
No warnings about implicit conversions to narrower types.
Motivation:
We wish to use Unsafe as little as possible, and Java 8 allows us
to take some short-cuts or play some tricks with generics,
for the purpose of working around having to declare all checked
exceptions. Ideally all checked exceptions would be declared, but
the code base is not ready for that yet.
Modification:
The call to UNSAFE.throwException has been removed, so when we need
that feature, we instead use the generic exception trick.
In may cases, Java 8 allows us to throw Throwable directly. This
happens in cases where no exception is declared to be thrown in a
scope.
Finally, some warnings have also been fixed, and some imports have
been reorganised and cleaned up while I was modifying the files
anyway.
Result:
We no longer use Unsafe for throwing any exceptions.
Motivation:
Avoid keeping unused dependencies around.
Modification:
Remove all references to javassist dependency, since it does not appear to be used by anything.
Result:
One less dependency to worry about.
Motivation:
We should provide details about why an IOOBE was thrown
Modification:
Add IndexOutOfBoundsException error information in io.netty.util.internal.AppendableCharSequence and io.netty.handler.codec.CodecOutputList class
Result:
Easier to debug
Motivation:
`Date`, `Expires`, and `Set-Cookie` headers are being generated with a 1-digit day of month,
e.g. `Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT`. RFC 2616 specifies that `Date` and `Expires` headers should
use "a fixed-length subset of that defined by RFC 1123" which includes a 2-digit day of month.
RFC6265 is lax in it's specification of the `Set-Cookie` header and permits a 2-digit day of month.
See: https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html
See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123#page-55
See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.1
Modifications:
- Update `DateFormatter` to correctly implement RFC 2616 headers
Result:
```
Date: Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT
Expires: Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT
Set-Cookie: id=a3fWa; Expires=Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT
```
Motivation:
To ensure we always recycle the CodecOutputList we should better do it in a finally block
Modifications:
Call CodecOutputList.recycle() in finally
Result:
Less chances of non-recycled lists. Related to https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10183
Motivation:
It is more efficient to avoid allocating objects when we don't need to.
Modification:
Don't allocate a `LinkedList` for returning an empty list of header values when the header doesn't exist at all.
Result:
Less allocations
Motivation:
Since the LZF support non-compress and compress format, we can let LzfEncoder support length aware ability. It can let the user control compress.
Modification:
When the data length over compressThreshold, LzfEncoder use compress format to compress data. Otherwise, only use non-compress format. Whatever compress format the encoder use, the LzfDecoder can decompress data well.
Result:
Gives users control over compression capabilities
Motivation:
As we have java8 as a minimum target we can use MethodHandles. We should do so when we expect to have a method called multiple times.
Modifications:
- Replace usage of reflection with MethodHandles where it makes sense
- Remove some code which was there to support java < 8
Result:
Faster code
Motivation:
At the moment the next / prev references are not set to "null" in the DefaultChannelHandlerContext once the ChannelHandler is removed. This is bad as it basically let users still use the ChannelHandlerContext of a ChannelHandler after it is removed and may produce very suprising behaviour.
Modifications:
- Fail if someone tries to use the ChannelHandlerContext once the ChannelHandler was removed (for outbound operations fail the promise, for inbound fire the error through the ChannelPipeline)
- Fix some handlers to ensure we not use the ChannelHandlerContext after the handler was removed
- Adjust DefaultChannelPipeline / DefaultChannelHandlerContext to fixes races with removal / replacement of handlers
Result:
Cleanup behaviour and make it more predictable for pipeline modifications
Motivation:
The Snappy crc32c checksum produced by SnappyFrameEncoder maybe failed to be validated on other languages snappy decoder, such as golang/snappy.
Modification:
- make the 4-byte cast later after the mask operation. Because whether retaining the higher 4-7 bytes in a long java type will make difference in (checksum >> 15 | checksum << 17) + 0xa282ead8 result.
Result:
Checksum correctly calculated
Motivation:
It is impossible to know in advance how much memory will be needed to
decompress a stream of bytes that was compressed using the DEFLATE
algorithm. In theory, up to 1032 times the compressed size could be
needed. For untrusted input, an attacker could exploit this to exhaust
the memory pool.
Modifications:
ZlibDecoder and its subclasses now support an optional limit on the size
of the decompressed buffer. By default, if the limit is reached,
decompression stops and a DecompressionException is thrown. Behavior
upon reaching the limit is modifiable by subclasses in case they desire
something else.
Result:
The decompressed buffer can now be limited to a configurable size, thus
mitigating the possibility of memory pool exhaustion.
Motivation:
In next major version of netty users should use ChannelHandler everywhere. We should ensure we do the same
Modifications:
Replace usage of deprecated classes / interfaces with ChannelHandler
Result:
Use non-deprecated code
Motivation:
We should close encoder when `LzfEncoder` was removed from pipeline.
Modification:
call `encoder.close` when `handlerRemoved` triggered.
Result:
Close encoder to release internal buffer.
Motivation
This PR is a reduced-scope replacement for #8931. It doesn't include the
changes related to how/when discarding read bytes is done, which we plan
to address in subsequent updates.
Modifications
- Avoid copying bytes in COMPOSITE_CUMULATOR in all cases, performing a
shallow copy where necessary; also guard against (unusual) case where
input buffer is composite with writer index != capacity
- Ensure we don't pass a non-contiguous buffer when MERGE_CUMULATOR is
used
- Manually inline some calls to ByteBuf#writeBytes(...) to eliminate
redundant checks and reduce stack depth
Also includes prior minor review comments from @trustin
Result
More correct handling of merge/composite cases and
more efficient handling of composite case.
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder requires using an intermediate List to put results into. This intermediate list adds overhead (memory/CPU) which grows as the number of objects increases. This overhead can be avoided by directly propagating events through the ChannelPipeline via ctx.fireChannelRead(...). This also makes the semantics more clear and allows us to keep track if we need to call ctx.read() in all cases.
Modifications:
- Remove List from the method signature of ByteToMessageDecoder.decode(...) and decodeLast(...)
- Adjust all sub-classes
- Adjust unit tests
- Fix javadocs.
Result:
Adjust ByteToMessageDecoder as noted in https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8525.
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder's default MERGE_CUMULATOR will allocate a new buffer and
copy if the refCnt() of the cumulation is > 1. However this is overly
conservative because we maybe able to avoid allocate/copy if the current
cumulation can accommodate the input buffer without a reallocation. Also when the
reallocation and copy does occur the new buffer is sized just large enough to
accommodate the current the current amount of data. If some data remains in the
cumulation after decode this will require a new allocation/copy when more data
arrives.
Modifications:
- Use maxFastWritableBytes to avoid allocation/copy if the current buffer can
accommodate the input data without a reallocation operation.
- Use ByteBufAllocator#calculateNewCapacity(..) to get the size of the buffer
when a reallocation/copy operation is necessary.
Result:
ByteToMessageDecoder MERGE_CUMULATOR won't allocate/copy if the cumulation
buffer can accommodate data without a reallocation, and when a reallocation
occurs we are more likely to leave additional space for future data in an effort
to reduce overall reallocations.
Motivation:
SnappyFrameDecoderTest has a few tests which fail to close the EmbeddedChannel
and therefore may leak ByteBuf objects.
Modifications:
- Make sure EmbeddedChannel#finishAndReleaseAll() is called in all tests
Result:
No more leaks from SnappyFrameDecoderTest.
Motivation:
We did not correctly close the `EmbeddedChannel` which would lead to not have `handlerRemoved(...)` called. This can lead to leaks. Beside this we also did not correctly consume produced data which could also show up as a leak.
Modifications:
- Always call `EmbeddedChannel.finish()`
- Ensure we consume all produced data and release it
Result:
No more leaks in test. This showed up in https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/9850#issuecomment-562504863.
Motivation:
The buffer which the decoder allocates for the expansion can be
leaked if there is a subsequent issue writing to it.
Modifications:
The error handling has been improved so that the new buffer always
is released on failure in the expand.
Result:
The decoder will not leak in this scenario any more.
Fixes: https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9812
Motivation:
Data flowing in from the decoder flows out in sequence，Whether decoder removed or not.
Modification:
fire data in out and clear out when hander removed
before call method handlerRemoved(ctx)
Result:
Fixes#9668 .
Motivation:
At the moment we do a ByteBuf.readBytes(...) on removal of the ByteToMessageDecoder if there are any bytes left and forward the returned ByteBuf to the next handler in the pipeline. This is not really needed as we can just forward the cumulation buffer directly and so eliminate the extra memory copy
Modifications:
Just forward the cumulation buffer directly on removal of the ByteToMessageDecoder
Result:
Less memory copies
Motivation:
In the current implementation of Base64 decoder an invalid
character `\u00BD` treated as `=`.
Also character `\u007F` leads to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Modification:
Explicitly checks that all input bytes are ASCII characters
(greater than zero). Fix `decodabet` tables.
Result:
Correctly validation input bytes in Base64 decoder.
Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
There are is some unnecessary code (like toString() calls) which can be cleaned up.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed toString() calls
- Simplify subString(...) calls
- Remove some explicit casts when not needed.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
There is some manual coping of elements of Collections which can be replaced by Collections.addAll(...) and also some unnecessary semicolons.
Modifications:
- Simplify branches
- Use Collections.addAll
- Code cleanup
Result:
Code cleanup
Motivation:
ByteToMessageDecoder only looks at the last channelRead() in the batch
of channelRead()-s when determining whether or not it should call
ChannelHandlerContext#read() to consume more data when !isAutoRead. This
will lead to read() calls issued unnecessaily and unprompted if the very
last channelRead() didn't result in at least one decoded message, even
if there have been messages decoded from other channelRead()-s in the
current batch.
Modifications:
Track decode outcomes for the entire batch of channelRead() calls and
only issue a read in BTMD if the entire batch of channelRead() calls
yielded no complete messages.
Result:
ByteToMessageDecoder will no longer overread when the very last read
yielded no message, but the batch of reads did.
Motivation:
Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder in their default configuration use
an extremely inefficient way to checksum direct byte buffers. In
particular, for every byte checksummed, a single-element byte array is
being allocated and a JNI cal is made, which in some internal testing
makes a 25x difference in total throughput and allocates *a lot* of
garbage.
Modifications:
Lz4XXHash32, an implementation of ByteBufChecksum specifically for use
by Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder, is introduced. It utilises
xxHash32 block API which provides a hash() method that accepts a
ByteBuffer as an argument. Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder are
modified to use this implementation by default.
Result:
Lz4FrameEncoder and Lz4FrameDecoder perform well again when operating
on direct byte buffers with default checksum configuration; a public
implementation is provided for those who need to override the seed.
Motivation:
ReflectiveByteBufChecksum#update(buf, off, len) ignores provided offset
and length arguments when operating on direct buffers, leading to wrong
byte sequences being checksummed and ultimately incorrect checksum
values (unless checksumming the entire buffer).
Modifications:
Use the provided offset and length arguments to get the correct nio
buffer to checksum; add test coverage exercising the four meaningfully
different offset and length combinations.
Result:
Offset and length are respected and a correct checksum gets calculated;
simple unit test should prevent regressions in the future.
