Motivation:
We had a typo in NativeLibraryLoader debug log message which could misslead the user.
Modifications:
Fix typo to correctly state java.library.path
Result:
Correct and less confusing log message
Motivation:
According to the specification, the "Connection" header's syntax is:
"
The Connection header field's value has the following grammar:
Connection = 1#connection-option
connection-option = token
Connection options are case-insensitive.
"
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.1
This means that Connection's value can have at least one element or
a comma separated list with elements
When calculating whether the connection can remain open,
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) should take this into account.
Modifications:
- Check for "close" and "keep-alive" in a comma separated list
- Add unit test
Result:
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) works correctly when "Connection: Upgrade, close"
Motivation:
We want to make the experience as smooth as possible for our users when using Java9+ and so should ensure we do not produce any 'Illegal reflective access' errors when using netty.
Modifications:
Add jvmArgs when running our tests that will deny reflective access and so will fail the build at the end due not be able to load some classes.
Result:
Ensure we do not produce any illegal refelctive access errors when using java9+
Motivation:
At some point we needed --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED to run our native tests but this is not true anymore.
Modifications:
Remove --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED when running native tests.
Result:
Remove obsolate jvm arg.
Motivation:
We did not have any unit tests that queries for TXT records.
Modifications:
Add unit test to query TXT records.
Result:
More test-coverage.
Motivation:
The SSLSession that is returned by SSLEngine.getHandshakeSession() must be able to provide the local certificates when the TrustManager is invoked on the server-side.
Modifications:
- Correctly return the local certificates
- Add unit test
Result:
Be able to obtain local certificates from handshake SSLSession during verification on the server side.
Motivation:
When HttpContentDecoder (and so HttpContentDecompressor) does not produce any message we need to make sure it calls ctx.read() if auto read is false to not stale.
Modifications:
- Keep track if we need to call ctx.read() or not
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8915.
Motivation:
In the past we found a lot of SSL related bugs because of the interopt tests we have in place between different SSLEngine implementations. We should have as many of these interopt tests as possible for this reason.
Modifications:
- Add interopt tests between Conscrypt and OpenSSL SSLEngine implementations
Result:
More tests for SSL.
Motivation:
Simple rules:
* close the connection when sending any error
* specify "Connection: close" header when closing the connection
* successful responses should keep the connection intact when otherwise is not requested by the client
Modifications:
* "send response and cleanup the connection" logic moved to a helper
* for all successful responses set "Content-Lenght" header
* do not specify "Connection: Keep-Alive" header as far it's a default for HTTP/1.1
* set "Connection: close" header when necessary
Result:
Keep-Alive connections management is inlined with RFCs.
Motivation:
SSLEngine API has a notion of tasks that may be expensive and offload these to another thread. We did not support this when using our native implementation but can now for various operations during the handshake.
Modifications:
- Support offloading tasks during the handshake when using our native SSLEngine implementation
- Correctly handle the case when NEED_TASK is returned and nothing was consumed / produced yet
Result:
Be able to offload long running tasks from the EventLoop when using SslHandler with our native SSLEngine.
Motivation:
2bb9f64e16 introduced a change which made it possible to use different shaded versions of netty-tcnative on the classpath. This only partly worked as we did not correctly handled the case when os / arch is part of the library name (which is the case when netty-tcnative-boringssl-static is used with the uber jar).
Modifications:
- If patching the ID failed we retry again with the os / arch stripped
- Add unit tests to verify that patching ID now works with and without os / arch as suffix.
Result:
Using multiple shaded version of netty-tcnative-boringssl-static on MacOS works.
Motivation:
Netty is very widely used which can lead to a lot of pain when we break API / ABI. We should make use japicmp-maven-plugin during the build to verify we do not introduce breakage by mistake.
Modifications:
- Add japicmp-maven-plugin to the build process
- Fix a method signature change in HttpProxyHandler that was flagged as a possible problem.
Result:
Ensure no API/ABI breakage accour between releases.
Motivation:
We must only remove ReferenceCountedOpenSslEngine from OpenSslEngineMap when engine is destroyed as the verifier / certificate callback may be called multiple times when the remote peer did initiate a renegotiation.
If we fail to do so we will cause an NPE like this:
```

While the exception is kind of harmless (as we will reject the renegotiation at the end anyway) it produces some noise in the logs.
Modifications:
Don't remove engine from map after handshake is complete but wait for it to be removed until the engine is destroyed.
Result:
No more NPE and less noise in the logs.
Motivation:
To ensure Netty works on different JVMs we should also run tests on the CI with these.
Modifications:
Add docker-compose config to run build with OpenJ9 JVM
Result:
Ensure Netty works with different JVMs
Motivation:
We should run a CI job using J9 to ensure netty also works when using different JVMs.
Modifications:
- Adjust PooledByteBufAllocatorTest to be able to complete faster when using a JVM which takes longer when joining Threads (this seems to be the case with J9).
- Skip UDT tests on J9 as UDT is not supported there.
Result:
Be able to run CI against J9.
Motivation:
ChunkedWriteHandler needs to close both successful and failed
ChunkInputs. It used to never close successful ones.
Modifications:
* ChunkedWriteHandler always closes ChunkInput before completing
the write promise.
* Ensure only ChunkInput#close() is invoked
on a failed input.
* Ensure no methods are invoked on a closed input.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8875.
Motivation:
PromiseCombiner is not thread-safe and even assumes all added Futures are using the same EventExecutor. This is kind of fragile as we do not enforce this. We need to enforce this contract to ensure it's safe to use and easy to spot concurrency problems.
Modifications:
- Add new contructor to PromiseCombiner that takes an EventExecutor and deprecate the old non-arg constructor.
- Check if methods are called from within the EventExecutor thread and if not fail
- Correctly dispatch on the right EventExecutor if the Future uses a different EventExecutor to eliminate concurrency issues.
Result:
More safe use of PromiseCombiner + enforce correct usage / contract.
Motivation:
fa6a8cb09c introduced correct dispatching of delegated tasks for SSLEngine but did not correctly handle some cases for resuming wrap / unwrap after the task was executed. This could lead to stales, which showed up during tests when running with Java11 and BoringSSL.
Modifications:
- Correctly resume wrap / unwrap in all cases.
- Fix timeout value which was changed in previous commit by mistake.
Result:
No more stales after task execution.
Motivation:
We use outdated EA releases when building and testing with JDK 12 and 13.
Modifications:
- Update versions.
- Add workaround for possible JDK12+ bug.
Result:
Use latest releases
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8866 added support for calling Iterator.remove() but did not add a testcase.
Modifications:
Add testcase to ensure removal works.
Result:
Better test-coverage.
Motivation:
As ActiveMQ project using netty, we want to make use of this class, unfortunately the iterator on values(), seems to not support remove method, even so the delegated iterator does. Currently we have to clone and modify this class locally albeit a one line change is needed, it would be ideal if netty could allow remove, then removing the need to maintain a clone.
Modifications:
* remove throws UnsupportedOperationException, and instead call remove method on delegated iterator
Result:
Be able to call Iterator.remove() for the values.
Motivation:
`DefaultFileRegion.transferTo` will return 0 all the time when we request more data then the actual file size. This may result in a busy spin while processing the fileregion during writes.
Modifications:
- If we wrote 0 bytes check if the underlying file size is smaller then the requested count and if so throw an IOException
- Add DefaultFileRegionTest
- Add a test to the testsuite
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8868.
Motivation:
In https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8665 we changed how we handle the registration of Channels to KQueue but missed to removed some code which would deregister the Channel before it actual closed the underlying socket. This could lead to have events triggered still while not have a mapping to the Channel anymore.
Modifications:
Remove deregister call during socket closure.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8849.
Motivation:
To make it easier to understand why a Channel was closed previously and so why the operation failed with a ClosedChannelException we should include the original Exception.
Modifications:
- Store the original exception that lead to the closed Channel and include it in the ClosedChannelException that is used to fail the operation.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8862.
Motivation:
We should not depend on the implementation detail of Unpooled.buffer(int) to allocate the exact size of backing byte[] as depending on the implementation it may return a buffer with a bigger backing array.
Modifications:
Explicit allocate the byte[] and wrap it in the ByteBuf. This way we are sure that ByteBuf.array() returns an byte[] which has the exact length and content we expect.
Result:
More correct and safe usage of ByteBuf.array()
Motivation:
When users' /tmp is noexec, NativeLibraryLoader logs a message informing
them how to fix the problem by setting a system property. However, if
Netty has been shaded that message will tell them to set the un-shaded
system property name, which won't work.
Modifications:
Change the code to let shading tools rename the native.workdir property
name reference within user-visible log messages.
Notably, debug logs were _not_ changed, as there's many debug statements
including a variety of property names. Fixing them would be a much more
invasive change and have limited benefit.
Result:
The users will see the correctly-named system property to set if they
are using a noexec /tmp.
Motivation:
Gracefully respond on bad client request.
We have a set of errors produced by Android 7.1.1/7.1.2 clients where both headers `HttpHeaderNames.SEC_WEBSOCKET_VERSION` and `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` are not present. Absence of the first headers leads to WebSocketServerHandshaker00 be applied as a handshaker. However, null 2nd header causes
```
java.lang.NullPointerException: value
io.netty.util.internal.ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(ObjectUtil.java:33)
io.netty.handler.codec.DefaultHeaders.addObject(DefaultHeaders.java:327)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpHeaders.add(DefaultHttpHeaders.java:123)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx.WebSocketServerHandshaker00.newHandshakeResponse(WebSocketServerHandshaker00.java:162)
```
Which causes connection close with unclear reason.
Modification:
Added null-check, and in case of null an appropriate WebSocketHandshakeException is thrown.
Result:
In case of null `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` header a WebSocketHandshakeException is caught by WebSocketServerProtocolHandler which sends a graceful `BAD_REQUEST`.
Motivation:
When more than one connection header is present in h2c upgrade request, upgrade fails. This is to fix that.
Modification:
In HttpServerUpgradeHandler's upgrade() method, check whether any of the connection header value is upgrade, not just the first header value which might return a different value other than upgrade.
Result:
Fixes#8846.
With this PR, now when multiple connection headers are sent with the upgrade request, upgrade will not fail.
Motivation:
The SSLEngine does provide a way to signal to the caller that it may need to execute a blocking / long-running task which then can be offloaded to an Executor to ensure the I/O thread is not blocked. Currently how we handle this in SslHandler is not really optimal as while we offload to the Executor we still block the I/O Thread.
Modifications:
- Correctly support offloading the task to the Executor while suspending processing of SSL in the I/O Thread
- Add new methods to SslContext to specify the Executor when creating a SslHandler
- Remove @deprecated annotations from SslHandler constructor that takes an Executor
- Adjust tests to also run with the Executor to ensure all works as expected.
Result:
Be able to offload long running tasks to an Executor when using SslHandler. Partly fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7862 and https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7020.
Motivation:
We missed to extend a few tests from the testsuite and so also run these with our native KQueue and Epoll transport.
Modifications:
Extend tests and so run these for our native transports as well.
Result:
More tests.
Motivation:
When we fail a call to PromiseCombiner.finish(...) because of a null argument we must not update the internal state before throwing.
Modifications:
- First do the null check and only after we validated that the argument is not null update the internal state
- Add test case.
Modifications:
Do not mess up internal state of PromiseCombiner when finish(...) is called with a null argument.
Result:
After your change, what will change.
Motivation:
We can replace some "hand-rolled" integer checks with our own static utility method to simplify the code.
Modifications:
Use methods provided by `ObjectUtil`.
Result:
Cleaner code and less duplication
Motivation:
Just was looking through code and found 1 interesting place DateFormatter.tryParseMonth that was not very effective, so I decided to optimize it a bit.
Modification:
Changed DateFormatter.tryParseMonth method. Instead of invocation regionMatch() for every month - compare chars one by one.
Result:
DateFormatter.parseHttpDate method performance improved from ~3% to ~15%.

Motivation
Implementations of MessageAggregator (HttpObjectAggregator in particular) may wish to
selectively aggrerage requests and responses on a case-by-case basis such as for example
only POST requests or only responses of a certain content-type.
Modifications
Adding a flag to MessageAggregator that toggles between true/false depending on if aggregation
is desired for the current message or not.
Result
Fixes#8772
Motivation:
When a proxy fails to connect, it includes useful error detail in
the headers.
Modification:
- Add an HTTP Specific ProxyConnectException
- Attach headers (if any) in the event of a non-200 response
Result:
Able to surface more useful error info to applications
Motivation:
When using a linux distribution that supports sendmmsg(...) we allocated enough direct memory per EpollEventLoop to be able to write IOV_MAX number of iovecs per message that can be written per sendmmsg.
The number of messages that can be written per sendmmsg(...) call is limited by UIO_MAX_IOV.
In practice this resulted in an allocation of 16MB direct memory per EpollEventLoop instance that stayed allocated until the EpollEventLoop was shutdown which happens as part of the shutdown of the enclosing EpollEVentLoopGroup.
This resulted in quite some heavy direct memory usage in practice even when in practice we have very slim changes to ever need all of the memory.
Modification:
Adjust NativeDatagramPacketArray to share one IovArray instance across all NativeDatagramPacket instances it holds. This limits the max number of iovecs we can write across all messages to IOV_MAX per sendmmsg(...) call.
This in practice will still be enough to allow us to write multiple messages with one syscall while keep the memory overhead to a minimum.
Result:
Smaller direct memory footprint per EpollEventLoop when using EpollDatagramChannel on distributions that support sendmmsg(...).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8814
Motivation
As pointed out by @91he in
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8595#issuecomment-459181794, there
is a remaining bug in LocationAwareSlf4JLogger following the updates
done in #8595. The logging methods which take a varargs message
parameter array should format using MessageFormatter.arrayFormat rather
than MessageFormatter.format.
Modifications
Change varargs param methods in LocationAwareSlf4JLogger to use
MessageFormatter.arrayFormat and extend unit test to cover these cases.
Results
Correct log output when logging messages with > 2 parameters when using
LocationAwareSlf4JLogger.
Motivation
There's some miscellaneous cleanup/simplification of CompositeByteBuf
which would help make the code a bit clearer.
Modifications
- Simplify web of constructors and addComponents methods, reducing
duplication of logic
- Rename `Component.freeIfNecessary()` method to just `free()`, which is
less confusing (see #8641)
- Make loop in addComponents0(...) method more verbose/readable (see
https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/8437#discussion_r232124414)
- Simplify addition/subtraction in setBytes(...) methods
Result
Smaller/clearer code
Motivation:
In the native code EpollDatagramChannel / KQueueDatagramChannel creates a DatagramSocketAddress object for each received UDP datagram even when in connected mode as it uses the recvfrom(...) / recvmsg(...) method. Creating these is quite heavy in terms of allocations as internally, char[], String, Inet4Address, InetAddressHolder, InetSocketAddressHolder, InetAddress[], byte[] objects are getting generated when constructing the object. When in connected mode we can just use regular read(...) calls which do not need to allocate all of these.
Modifications:
- When in connected mode use read(...) and NOT recvfrom(..) / readmsg(...) to reduce allocations when possible.
- Adjust tests to ensure read works as expected when in connected mode.
Result:
Less allocations and GC when using native datagram channels in connected mode. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8770.
Motivation:
41e03adf24 marked ChannelHandler.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated but missed to also mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated. We should do so as most people extend the base classes and not implement the interfaces directly.
Modifications:
Mark ChannelHandlerAdapter.exceptionCaught(...) as @deprecated as well.
Result:
Mark method as @deprecated to warn users about its removal.
* HttpObjectDecoder ignores HTTP trailer header when empty line is received in seperate ByteBuf
Motivation:
When the empty line that termines the trailers was sent in a seperate ByteBuf we did ignore the previous parsed trailers and just returned none.
Modifications:
- Correct respect previous parsed trailers.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8736
Motivation:
We have a utility method to check for > 0 and >0 arguments. We should use it.
Modification:
use checkPositive/checkPositiveOrZero instead of if statement.
Result:
Re-use utility method.
Motivation:
If there are no listeners attached to the promise when full-filling it we do not need to schedule a task to notify.
Modifications:
- Don't schedule a task if there is nothing to notify.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8795.
Motivation:
In most cases, HttpMethod instance is built from the factory method and the same instance is taken for known Http Methods. So we can implement fast path for equals().
Modification:
Replace == checks with HttpMethod.equals;
Use this == o within HttpMethod.equals;
Replaced known new HttpMethod with HttpMethod.valueOf;
Result:
Comparisons should be a bit faster in some cases.
