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.
