* 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:
HttpHeaderDateFormat was replaced with DateFormatter many days ago and now can be easily removed.
Modification:
Remove deprecated class and related test / benchmark
Result:
Less code to maintain
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.
Motivation:
We can use lambdas now as we use Java8.
Modification:
use lambda function for all package, #8751 only migrate transport package.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
As netty 4.x supported Java 6 we had various if statements to check for java versions < 8. We can remove these now.
Modification:
Remove unnecessary if statements that check for java versions < 8.
Result:
Cleanup code.
Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
* Decouble EventLoop details from the IO handling for each transport to allow easy re-use of code and customization
Motiviation:
As today extending EventLoop implementations to add custom logic / metrics / instrumentations is only possible in a very limited way if at all. This is due the fact that most implementations are final or even package-private. That said even if these would be public there are the ability to do something useful with these is very limited as the IO processing and task processing are very tightly coupled. All of the mentioned things are a big pain point in netty 4.x and need improvement.
Modifications:
This changeset decoubled the IO processing logic from the task processing logic for the main transport (NIO, Epoll, KQueue) by introducing the concept of an IoHandler. The IoHandler itself is responsible to wait for IO readiness and process these IO events. The execution of the IoHandler itself is done by the SingleThreadEventLoop as part of its EventLoop processing. This allows to use the same EventLoopGroup (MultiThreadEventLoupGroup) for all the mentioned transports by just specify a different IoHandlerFactory during construction.
Beside this core API change this changeset also allows to easily extend SingleThreadEventExecutor / SingleThreadEventLoop to add custom logic to it which then can be reused by all the transports. The ideas are very similar to what is provided by ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (that is part of the JDK). This allows for example things like:
* Adding instrumentation / metrics:
* how many Channels are registered on an SingleThreadEventLoop
* how many Channels were handled during the IO processing in an EventLoop run
* how many task were handled during the last EventLoop / EventExecutor run
* how many outstanding tasks we have
...
...
* Implementing custom strategies for choosing the next EventExecutor / EventLoop to use based on these metrics.
* Use different Promise / Future / ScheduledFuture implementations
* decorate Runnable / Callables when submitted to the EventExecutor / EventLoop
As a lot of functionalities are folded into the MultiThreadEventLoopGroup and SingleThreadEventLoopGroup this changeset also removes:
* AbstractEventLoop
* AbstractEventLoopGroup
* EventExecutorChooser
* EventExecutorChooserFactory
* DefaultEventLoopGroup
* DefaultEventExecutor
* DefaultEventExecutorGroup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8514 .
Motivation:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap() is no longer needed so it could be easily removed and new ConcurrentHashMap<>() inlined instead of invoking PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap().
Modification:
Use ConcurrentHashMap provided by the JDK directly.
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
No need to initialize charsets from the string. We can take already allocated charset from StandardCharsets class.
Modification:
Replace Charset.forName("US-ASCII") with StandardCharsets.US_ASCII.
Removed Charset[] values() method and internal static variable as it was used only in tests.
Result:
Reuse what the JDK provides
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
Replace "if else" conditions with string switch. It is easier to read the code, for large "if else" constructions switch also could be faster.
Modification:
Replaced "if else" with a string switch.
Result:
Use new language features
Motivation:
Since Java 7 we can automatically close resources in try () construction.
Modification:
Changed all try catches in the code with autoclose try (resource)
Result:
Less boiler-plate
Motivation:
Current implementation extract header value as String. We have an idiomatic way for checking presence of a header value.
Modification:
Use HttpHeaders#contains for checking if if contains Expect: 100-continue.
Result:
Use idiomatic way + simplify boolean logic.
Motivation:
While we are not yet quite sure if we want to require Java11 as minimum we are at least sure we want to use java8 as minimum.
Modifications:
Change minimum version to java8 and update some tests which failed compilation after this change.
Result:
Use Java8 as minimum and be able to use Java8 features.
Motivation:
I want to fix bug in vert.x project (eclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562) caused by ComposedLastHttpContent result being null. I don't know if it is intentional that this last decoded chuck in the issue returns null, but if not - I am providing fix for that.
Modification:
* Added new constructor in ComposedLastHttpContent allowing to pass DecoderResult
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentEncoder
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentDecoder
Result:
Fixeseclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562
Motivation:
The CorruptedFrameException from the finish() method of the Utf8Validator gets propagated to other handlers while the connection is still open.
Modification:
Override exceptionCaught method of the Utf8FrameValidator and close the connection if it is a CorruptedFrameException.
Result:
The CorruptedFrameException gets propagated to other handlers only after properly closing the connection.
Motivation:
At the moment it’s possible to have a Channel in Netty that is not registered / assigned to an EventLoop until register(...) is called. This is suboptimal as if the Channel is not registered it is also not possible to do anything useful with a ChannelFuture that belongs to the Channel. We should think about if we should have the EventLoop as a constructor argument of a Channel and have the register / deregister method only have the effect of add a Channel to KQueue/Epoll/... It is also currently possible to deregister a Channel from one EventLoop and register it with another EventLoop. This operation defeats the threading model assumptions that are wide spread in Netty, and requires careful user level coordination to pull off without any concurrency issues. It is not a commonly used feature in practice, may be better handled by other means (e.g. client side load balancing), and therefore we propose removing this feature.
Modifications:
- Change all Channel implementations to require an EventLoop for construction ( + an EventLoopGroup for all ServerChannel implementations)
- Remove all register(...) methods from EventLoopGroup
- Add ChannelOutboundInvoker.register(...) which now basically means we want to register on the EventLoop for IO.
- Change ChannelUnsafe.register(...) to not take an EventLoop as parameter (as the EventLoop is supplied on custruction).
- Change ChannelFactory to take an EventLoop to create new Channels and introduce ServerChannelFactory which takes an EventLoop and one EventLoopGroup to create new ServerChannel instances.
- Add ServerChannel.childEventLoopGroup()
- Ensure all operations on the accepted Channel is done in the EventLoop of the Channel in ServerBootstrap
- Change unit tests for new behaviour
Result:
A Channel always has an EventLoop assigned which will never change during its life-time. This ensures we are always be able to call any operation on the Channel once constructed (unit the EventLoop is shutdown). This also simplifies the logic in DefaultChannelPipeline a lot as we can always call handlerAdded / handlerRemoved directly without the need to wait for register() to happen.
Also note that its still possible to deregister a Channel and register it again. It's just not possible anymore to move from one EventLoop to another (which was not really safe anyway).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8513.
Motivation:
The `maxChunkSize` only serves to split available content into even
smaller chunks which is not all that useful since the data is already
buffered.
Modification:
Remove the parameter.
Result:
Things are simpler.
Fixes#8430.
Motivation:
RFC 6455 doesn't define close status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014.
Yet, since then, IANA has defined them and web browsers support them.
From https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xhtml:
* 1012: Service Restart
* 1013: Try Again Later
* 1014: The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server. This is similar to 502 HTTP Status Code.
Modification:
Make status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014 legit.
Result:
WebSocket status codes as defined by IANA are supported.
Motivation:
ByteBuf supports “marker indexes”. The intended use case for these is if a speculative operation (e.g. decode) is in process the user can “mark” and interface and refer to it later if the operation isn’t successful (e.g. not enough data). However this is rarely used in practice,
requires extra memory to maintain, and introduces complexity in the state management for derived/pooled buffer initialization, resizing, and other operations which may modify reader/writer indexes.
Modifications:
Remove support for marking and adjust testcases / code.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8535.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
According to the HTTP spec set-cookie headers should not be combined
because they are not using the list syntax.
Modifications:
Do not combine set-cookie headers.
Result:
Set-Cookie headers won't be combined anymore
Motivation:
As mentioned in RFC 7692 :
The "server_no_context_takeover" Extension Parameter should be used on server side for compression and on client side for decompression.
The "client_no_context_takeover" Extension Parameter should be used on client side for compression and on server side for decompression.
Right now, in PerMessageDeflateClientExtensionHandshaker, the decoder uses clientNoContext instead of serverNoContext and the encoder uses serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext.
The same inversion is present in PerMessageDeflateServerExtensionHandshaker: the decoder uses
serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext, while the encoder uses serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext. Besides the context inversion, the sliding window sizes seem to be inversed as well.
Modification:
Inverse clientNoContext with serverNoContext and clientWindowSize with serverWindowSize for both the Decoder and Encoder in PerMessageDeflateServerExtensionHandshaker and PerMessageDeflateClientExtensionHandshaker.
Result:
This fixes the decompression fail in the case that one of the contexts is set and the other one is not.
Motivation:
Get charset from Content-Type header even it contains multiple parameters.
Modification:
Extract charset value from the charset parameter if it is not last.
Result:
Fixes#8273
Motivation:
Implementation of WebSocketUtil/randomNumber is incorrect and might violate
the API returning values > maximum specified.
Modifications:
* WebSocketUtil/randomNumber is reimplemented, the idea of the solution described
in the comment in the code
* Implementation of WebSocketUtil/randomBytes changed to nextBytes method
* PlatformDependet.threadLocalRandom is used instead of Math.random to improve efficiency
* Added test cases to check random numbers generator
* To ensure corretness, we now assert that min < max when generating random number
Result:
WebSocketUtil/randomNumber always produces correct result.
Covers https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8023
Motivation:
If a wrapped cookie value with an invalid charcater is passed to the strict
encoder, an exception is thrown on validation but the error message contains
a character at the wrong position.
Modifications:
Print `unwrappedValue.charAt(pos)` instead of `value.charAt(pos)`.
Result:
The exception indicates the correct invalid character in the unwrapped cookie.
Motivation
The HttpObjectEncoder raises an IllegalStateException due to an illegal state but doesn't mention what the state was. It could be useful for debugging purposes to figure out what happened.
Modifications
Mention the HttpObjectEncoder's state in the message of the IllegalStateException.
Result
An exception with more information what caused it.
Motivation:
Currently, when passing custom headers to a WebSocketClientHandshaker,
if values are added for headers that are reserved for use in the
websocket handshake performed with the server, these custom values can
be used by the server to compute the websocket handshake challenge. If
the server computes the response to the challenge with the custom header
values, rather than the values computed by the client handshaker, the
handshake may fail.
Modifications:
Update the client handshaker implementations to add the custom header
values first, and then set the reserved websocket header values.
Result:
Reserved websocket handshake headers, if present in the custom headers
passed to the client handshaker, will not be propagated to the server.
Instead the client handshaker will propagate the values it generates.
Fixes#7973.
Motivation:
The websockets abstract test suite does not run against the 08
implementation in the 08 version of the test suite.
Modifications:
Update the WebSocketClientHandshaker08Test to instantiate a new
WebSocketClientHandshaker08 rather than an 07 handshaker.
Result:
The WebSocketClientHandshaker08Test now tests the 08 implementation.
Motivation:
Currently, on recipt of a PongWebSocketFrame, the
WebSocketProtocolHandler will drop the frame, rather than passing it
along so it can be referenced by other handlers.
Modifications:
Add boolean field to WebSocketProtocolHandler to indicate whether Pong
frames should be dropped or propagated, defaulting to "true" to preserve
existing functionality.
Add new constructors to the client and server implementations of
WebSocketProtocolHandler that allow for overriding the behavior for the
handling of Pong frames.
Result:
PongWebSocketFrames are passed along the channel, if specified.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpResponse did not respect its status when compute the hashCode and check for equality.
Modifications:
Correctly implement hashCode and equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7964.
Motivation:
HTTP responses with status of 205 should not contain a payload. We should enforce this.
Modifications:
Correctly handle responses with status 205 and payload by set Content-Length: 0 header and stripping out the content.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7888
Motivation:
It should be possible to call setContent(Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER) multiple times just like its possible to do the same with a non empty buffer.
Modifications:
- Correctly reset underlying storage if called multiple times.
- Add tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6418
Motivation:
NPE in `CorsHandler` if a pre-flight request is done using an Origin header which is not allowed by any `CorsConfig` passed to the handler on creation.
Modifications:
During the pre-flight, check the `CorsConfig` for `null` and handle it correctly by not returning any access-control header
Result:
No more NPE for pre-flight requests with unauthorized origins.
Motivation:
Some `if` statements contains common parts that can be extracted.
Modifications:
Extract common parts from `if` statements.
Result:
Less code and bytecode. The code is simpler and more clear.
Motivation:
Finer granularity when configuring CorsHandler, enabling different policies for different origins.
Modifications:
The CorsHandler has an extra constructor that accepts a List<CorsConfig> that are evaluated sequentially when processing a Cors request
Result:
The changes don't break backwards compatibility. The extra ctor can be used to provide more than one CorsConfig object.
Motivation:
NPE in `ClientCookieDecoder` if cookie starts with comma.
Modifications:
Check `cookieBuilder` for `null` in the return.
Result:
No fails NPE on invalid cookies.
Motivation:
Unnecessary flushes reduce the amount of flush coalescing that can happen at higher levels and thus can increase number of packets (because of TCP_NODELAY) and lower throughput (due to syscalls, TLS frames, etc)
Modifications:
Replace writeAndFlush(...) with write(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7837.
Motivation:
There may be meaningful 'connection' headers that exist on a request
that is used to attempt a HTTP/1.x upgrade request that will be
clobbered.
Modifications:
HttpClientUpgradeHandler uses the `HttpHeaders.add` instead of
`HttpHeaders.set` when adding the 'upgrade' field.
Result:
Fixes#7823, existing 'connection' headers are preserved.
Motivation:
There is a race between both flushing the upgrade response and receiving
more data before the flush ChannelPromise can fire and reshape the
pipeline. Since We have already committed to an upgrade by writing the
upgrade response, we need to be immediately prepared for handling the
next protocol.
Modifications:
The pipeline reshaping logic in HttpServerUpgradeHandler has been moved
out of the ChannelFutureListener attached to the write of the upgrade
response and happens immediately after the writeAndFlush call, but
before the method returns.
Result:
The pipeline is no longer subject to receiving more data before the
pipeline has been reformed.
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler uses `NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` to compute
CONNECT url and Host header.
The url is correct when the address is unresolved, as
`NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` will then use
`getHoststring`/`getHostname`. If the address is already resolved, the
url will be based on the IP instead of the hostname.
There’s an additional minor issue with the Host header: default port
443 should be omitted.
Modifications:
* Introduce NetUtil#getHostname
* Introduce HttpUtil#formatHostnameForHttp to format an
InetSocketAddress to
HTTP format
* Change url computation to favor hostname instead of IP
* Introduce HttpProxyHandler ignoreDefaultPortsInConnectHostHeader
parameter to ignore 80 and 443 ports in Host header
Result:
HttpProxyHandler performs properly when connecting to a resolved address
Motivation:
When the response is very small, compression will inflate the response.
Modifications:
Add filed io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpContentCompressor#compressThreshold that control whether the HTTP response should be compressed.
Result:
Fixes#7660.
Motivation:
A Malformed empty header value (e.g. Content-Type: \r\n) will trigger a String index out of range
while trying to parse the multi-part request, using the HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.
Modification:
Ensure that the substring() method is called passing the endValue >= valueStart.
In case of an empty header value, the empty header value associated with the header key will be returned.
Result:
Fixes#7620
Motivation:
Usages of HttpResponseStatus may result in more object allocation then necessary due to not looking for cached objects and the AsciiString parsing method not being used due to CharSequence method being used instead.
Modifications:
- HttpResponseDecoder should attempt to get the HttpResponseStatus from cache instead of allocating a new object
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(CharSequence) should check if the type is AsciiString and redirect to the AsciiString parsing method which may not require an additional toString call
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(AsciiString) can be optimized and doesn't require and may not require object allocation
Result:
Less allocations when dealing with HttpResponseStatus.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpDataFactory uses HttpRequest as map keys.
Because of the implementation of "hashCode"" and "equals" in DefaultHttpRequest,
if we use normal maps, HttpDatas of different requests may end up in the same map entry,
causing cleanup bug.
Consider this example:
- Suppose that request1 is equal to request2, causing their HttpDatas to be stored in one single map entry.
- request1 is cleaned up first, while request2 is still being decoded.
- Consequently request2's HttpDatas are suddenly gone, causing NPE, or worse loss of data.
This bug can be reproduced by starting the HttpUploadServer example,
then run this command:
ab -T 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -n 100 -c 5 -p post.txt http://localhost:8080/form
post.txt file content:
a=1&b=2
There will be errors like this:

Modifications:
Keep identity of requests by using IdentityHashMap
Result:
DefaultHttpDataFactory is fixed.
The ConcurrentHashMap is replaced with a synchronized map, but I think the performance won't be affected much in real web apps.
Motiviation:
In our replace(...) methods we always used validation for the newly created headers while the original headers may not use validation at all.
Modifications:
- Only use validation if the original headers used validation as well.
- Ensure we create a copy of the headers in replace(...).
Result:
Fixes [#5226]
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
HttpObjectDecoder will throw a TooLongFrameException when either the max size for the initial line or the header size was exceeed. We have no tests for this.
Modifications:
Add test cases.
Result:
More tests.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpHeader.names() exposes HTTP header names as a Set<String>. Converting the resulting set to an array using toArray(String[]) throws an exception: java.lang.ArrayStoreException: io.netty.util.AsciiString.
Modifications:
- Remove our custom implementation of toArray(...) (and others) by just extending AbstractCollection.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7428].
Motivation:
For debugging/logging purpose, it would be convenient to have
HttpHeaders#toString implemented.
DefaultHeaders does implement toString be the implementation is suboptimal and allocates a Set for the names and Lists for values.
Modification:
* Introduce HeadersUtil#toString that provides a convenient optimized helper to implement toString for various headers implementations
* Have DefaultHeaders#toString and HttpHeaders#toString delegate their toString implementation to HeadersUtil
Result:
Convenient HttpHeaders#toString. Optimized DefaultHeaders#toString.
Motivation:
Its possible that cleanup() will throw if invalid data is passed into the wrapped EmbeddedChannel. We need to ensure we still call channelInactive(...) in this case.
Modifications:
- Correctly forward Exceptions caused by cleanup()
- Ensure all content is released when cleanup() throws
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly handle the case when cleanup() throws.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7418 reported an issue with writing a LastHttpContent with trailers set.
Modifications:
Add unit test to ensure this issue is fixed in latest netty release.
Result:
Ensure code is correct.
Motivation:
HttpMethod#valueOf shows up on profiler results in the top set of
results. Since it is a relatively simple operation it can be improved in
isolation.
Modifications:
- Introduce a special case map which assigns each HttpMethod to a unique
index in an array and provides constant time lookup from a hash code
algorithm. When the bucket is matched we can then directly do equality
comparison instead of potentially following a linked structure when
HashMap has hash collisions.
Result:
~10% improvement in benchmark results for HttpMethod#valueOf
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units
HttpMethodMapBenchmark.newMapKnownMethods thrpt 16 31.831 ± 0.928 ops/us
HttpMethodMapBenchmark.newMapMixMethods thrpt 16 25.568 ± 0.400 ops/us

HttpMethodMapBenchmark.oldMapUnknownMethods thrpt 16 49.081 ± 0.577 ops/us
Motivation:
In order to determine if a header contains a value we currently rely
upon getAll(..) and regular expressions. This operation is commonly used
during the encode and decode stage to determine the transfer encoding
(e.g. HttpUtil#isTransferEncodingChunked). This operation requires an
intermediate collection and possibly regular expressions for the
CombinedHttpHeaders use case which can be expensive.
Modifications:
- Add a valuesIterator to HttpHeaders and specializations of this method
for DefaultHttpHeaders, ReadOnlyHttpHeaders, and CombinedHttpHeaders.
Result:
Less intermediate collections and allocation overhead when determining
if HttpHeaders contains a name/value pair.
Motivation:
If the HttpUtil class is initialized before HttpHeaders or
EmptyHttpHeaders, EmptyHttpHeaders.INSTANCE will be null. This
can lead to NPEs in code that relies on this field being
non-null. One example is the
LastHttpContent.EMPTY_LAST_CONTENT.trailingHeaders method.
Modifications:
- Move HttpUtil.EMPTY_HEADERS to a private static final inner class
of EmptyHttpHeaders called InstanceInitializer.
- Add tests, that when run in isolation, validate the fix for the issue.
Result:
Any initialization order of HttpUtil, EmptyHttpHeaders or
HttpHeaders will result in EmptyHttpHeaders.INSTANCE being initialized
correctly.
Motivation:
According to RFC 7231 the server may choose to:
```
indicate a zero-length payload for the response by including a
Transfer-Encoding header field with a value of chunked and a message
body consisting of a single chunk of zero-length
```
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#page-53
In such cases the exception below appears during decoding phase:
```
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid version format: 0
at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpVersion.<init>(HttpVersion.java:121)
at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpVersion.valueOf(HttpVersion.java:76)
at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpResponseDecoder.createMessage(HttpResponseDecoder.java:118)
at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpObjectDecoder.decode(HttpObjectDecoder.java:219)
```
Modifications:
HttpObjectDecoder.isContentAlwaysEmpty specifies content NOT empty
when 205 Reset Content response
Result:
There is no `IllegalArgumentException: invalid version format: 0`
when handling 205 Reset Content response with transfer-encoding
Motivation:
93130b172a introduced a regression where we not "converted" an empty HttpContent to ByteBuf and just passed it on in the pipeline. This can lead to the situation that other handlers in the pipeline will see HttpContent instances which is not expected.
Modifications:
- Correctly convert HttpContent to ByteBuf when empty
- Add unit test.
Result:
Handlers in the pipeline will see the expected message type.
Motivation:
For use cases that create headers, but do not need to modify them a read only variant of HttpHeaders would be useful and may be able to provide better iteration performance for encoding.
Modifications:
- Introduce ReadOnlyHttpHeaders that is backed by a flat array
Result:
ReadOnlyHttpHeaders exists for non-modifiable HttpHeaders use cases.
Motivation:
7995afee8f introduced a change that broke special handling of WebSockets 00.
Modifications:
Correctly delegate to super method which has special handling for WebSockets 00.
Result:
Fixes [#7362].
Motivation:
HttpObjectEncoder and MessageAggregator treat buffers that are not readable special. If a buffer is not readable, then an EMPTY_BUFFER is written and the actual buffer is ignored. If the buffer has already been released then this will not be correct as the promise will be completed, but in reality the original content shouldn't have resulted in any write because it was invalid.
Modifications:
- HttpObjectEncoder should retain/write the original buffer instead of using EMPTY_BUFFER
- MessageAggregator should retain/write the original ByteBufHolder instead of using EMPTY_BUFFER
Result:
Invalid write operations which happen to not be readable correctly reflect failed status in the promise, and do not result in any writes to the channel.
This change allows to upgrade a plain HTTP 1.x connection to TLS
according to RFC 2817. Switching the transport layer to TLS should be
possible without removing HttpClientCodec from the pipeline,
because HTTP/1.x layer of the protocol remains untouched by the switch
and the HttpClientCodec state must be retained for proper
handling the remainder of the response message,
per RFC 2817 requirement in point 3.3:
Once the TLS handshake completes successfully, the server MUST
continue with the response to the original request.
After this commit, the upgrade can be established by simply
inserting an SslHandler at the front of the pipeline after receiving
101 SWITCHING PROTOCOLS response, exactly as described in SslHander
documentation.
Modifications:
- Don't set HttpObjectDecoder into UPGRADED state if
101 SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS response contains HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 in
the protocol stack described by the Upgrade header.
- Skip pairing comparison for 101 SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS, similar
to 100 CONTINUE, since 101 is not the final response to the original
request and the final response is expected after TLS handshake.
Fixes#7293.
Motivation:
I am receiving a multipart/form_data upload from a Mailgun webhook. This webhook used to send parts like this:
--74e78d11b0214bdcbc2f86491eeb4902
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attachment-2"; filename="attached_�айл.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 32
This is the content of the file
--74e78d11b0214bdcbc2f86491eeb4902--
but now it posts parts like this:
--74e78d11b0214bdcbc2f86491eeb4902
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attachment-2"; filename*=utf-8''attached_%D1%84%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB.txt
This is the content of the file
--74e78d11b0214bdcbc2f86491eeb4902--
This new format uses field parameter encoding described in RFC 5987. More about this encoding can be found here.
Netty does not parse this format. The result is the filename is not decoded and the part is not parsed into a FileUpload.
Modification:
Added failing test in HttpPostRequestDecoderTest.java and updated HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.java
Refactored to please Netkins
Result:
Fixes:
HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder identifies the RFC 5987 format and parses it.
Previous functionality is retained.
Motivation:
Before this commit, it is impossible to access the path component of the
URI before it has been decoded. This makes it impossible to distinguish
between the following URIs:
/user/title?key=value
/user%2Ftitle?key=value
The user could already access the raw uri value, but they had to calculate
pathEndIdx themselves, even though it might already be cached inside
QueryStringDecoder.
Result:
The user can easily and efficiently access the undecoded path and query.
Motivation:
An `origin`/`sec-websocket-origin` header value in websocket client is filling incorrect in some cases:
- Hostname is not converting to lower-case as prescribed by RFC 6354 (see [1]).
- Selecting a `http` scheme when source URI has `wss`/`https` scheme and non-standard port.
Modifications:
- Convert uri-host to lower-case.
- Use a `https` scheme if source URI scheme is `wss`/`https`, or if source scheme is null and port == 443.
Result:
Correct filling an `origin` header for WS client.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6454#section-4
Motivation:
Even if it's a super micro-optimization (most JVM could optimize such
cases in runtime), in theory (and according to some perf tests) it
may help a bit. It also makes a code more clear and allows you to
access such methods in the test scope directly, without instance of
the class.
Modifications:
Add 'static' modifier for all methods, where it possible. Mostly in
test scope.
Result:
Cleaner code with proper 'static' modifiers.
Motivation:
During code read of the Netty codebase I noticed that the Netty
HttpServerUpgradeHandler unconditionally sets a Content-Length: 0
header on 101 Switching Protocols responses. This explicitly
contravenes RFC 7230 Section 3.3.2 (Content-Length), which notes
that:
A server MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in any
response with a status code of 1xx (Informational) or 204
(No Content).
While it is unlikely that any client will ever be confused by
this behaviour, there is no reason to contravene this part of the
specification.
Modifications:
Removed the line of code setting the header field and changed the
only test that expected it to be there.
Result:
When performing the server portion of HTTP upgrade, the 101
Switching Protocols response will no longer contain a
Content-Length: 0 header field.
Motivation:
#7269 removed an unnecessary instanciation for verifying WebSocket
handshake status code.
But it uses a hardcoded status code value for 101 instead of using the
intended `HttpResponseStatus#SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS` constant.
Modidication:
Compare actual `HttpResponseStatus` against predefined constant. Note
that `HttpResponseStatus#equals` is implemented in respect with the RFC
(only honor code, not text) so it’s intended to be used this way.
Result:
Cleaner code, use intended constant instead of hard coded value.
Motivation:
https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7253
Modifications:
Adding `Content-Length: 0` to `CorsHandler.forbidden()` and `CorsHandler.handlePreflight()`
Result:
Contexts that are terminated by the CorsHandler will always include a Content-Length header
Motivation:
- In the `HttpResponseStatus#equals` checks only status code. No need to create new instance of `HttpResponseStatus` for comparison with response status.
- The RFC says: `the HTTP version and reason phrase aren't important` [1].
Modifications:
Use comparison by status code without creating new `HttpResponseStatus`.
Result:
Less allocations, more clear code.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-thewebsocketprotocol-00
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not write any body when a response with status code of 1xx, 204 or 304 is used as stated in rfc:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.3
Modifications:
- Correctly handle status codes
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly handle responses with 1xx, 204, 304 status codes.
Motivation:
HttpObjectEncoder allocates a new buffer when encoding the initial line and headers, and also allocates a buffer when encoding the trailers. The allocation always uses the default size of 256. This may lead to consistent under allocation and require a few resize/copy operations which can cause GC/memory pressure.
Modifications:
- Introduce a weighted average which tracks the historical size of encoded data and uses this as an estimate for future buffer allocations
Result:
Better approximation of buffer sizes.
Motivation:
ServerCookieEncoder’s javadoc contains some invalid copy-pasting from
ClientCookieEncoder.
Modifications:
* As per RFC6265, multiple cookies are sent as separate Set-Cookie
response headers.
* Fix code sample
Result:
Proper javadoc
This reverts commit d63bb4811e as this not covered correctly all cases and so could lead to missing fireChannelReadComplete() calls. We will re-evalute d63bb4811e and resbumit a pr once we are sure all is handled correctly
Motivation:
The `AsciiString#toString` method calculate string value and cache it into field. If an `AsciiString` created from the `String` value, we can avoid rebuilding strings if we cache them immediately when creating `AsciiString`. It would be useful for constants strings, which already stored in the JVMs string table, or in cases where an unavoidable `#toString `method call is assumed.
Modifications:
- Add new static method `AsciiString#cache(String)` which save string value into cache field.
- Apply a "benign" data race in the `#hashCode` and `#toString` methods.
Result:
Less memory usage in some `AsciiString` use cases.
Motivation:
HttpObjectAggregator differs from HttpServerExpectContinueHandler's handling
of expect headers by not stripping the 'expect' header when a response
is generated.
Modifications:
HttpObjectAggregator now removes the 'expect' header in cases where it generates
a response.
Result:
Consistent and correct behavior between HttpObjectAggregator and HttpServerExpectContinueHandler.
Motivation:
Issue #6695 states that there is an issue when writing empty content via HttpResponseEncoder.
Modifications:
Add two test-cases.
Result:
Verified that all works as expected.
Motivation:
Its wasteful and also confusing that channelReadComplete() is called even if there was no message forwarded to the next handler.
Modifications:
- Only call ctx.fireChannelReadComplete() if at least one message was decoded
- Add unit test
Result:
Less confusing behavior. Fixes [#4312].
Motivation:
08748344d8 introduced two new tests which did not take into account that the multipart delimiter can be between 2 and 16 bytes long.
Modifications:
Take the multipart delimiter length into account.
Result:
Fixes [#7001]
Motivation:
codec-http2 currently does not strictly enforce the HTTP/1.x semantics with respect to the number of headers defined in RFC 7540 Section 8.1 [1]. We currently don't validate the number of headers nor do we validate that the trailing headers should indicate EOS.
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder should only allow decoding of a single headers and a single trailers
- DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder should only allow encoding of a single headers and optionally a single trailers
Result:
Constraints of RFC 7540 restricting the number of headers/trailers is enforced.
Motivation:
HttpPostRequestEncoder maintains an internal buffer that holds the
current encoded data. There are use cases when this internal buffer
becomes null, the next chunk processing implementation should take
this into consideration.
Modifications:
- When preparing the last chunk if currentBuffer is null, mark
isLastChunkSent as true and send LastHttpContent.EMPTY_LAST_CONTENT
- When calculating the remaining size take into consideration that the
currentBuffer might be null
- Tests are based on those provided in the issue by @nebhale and @bfiorini
Result:
Fixes#5478
Motivation:
- A `HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder` contains two pairs of the same methods: `readFileUploadByteMultipartStandard`+`readFileUploadByteMultipart` and `loadFieldMultipartStandard`+`loadFieldMultipart`.
- These methods use `NotEnoughDataDecoderException` to detecting not last data chunk (exception handling is very expensive).
- These methods can be greatly simplified.
- Methods `loadFieldMultipart` and `loadFieldMultipartStandard` has an unnecessary catching for the `IndexOutOfBoundsException`.
Modifications:
- Remove duplicate methods.
- Replace handling `NotEnoughDataDecoderException` by the return of a boolean result.
- Simplify code.
Result:
The code is cleaner and easier to support. Less exception handling logic.
Motivation:
1. Some encoders used a `ByteBuf#writeBytes` to write short constant byte array (2-3 bytes). This can be replaced with more faster `ByteBuf#writeShort` or `ByteBuf#writeMedium` which do not access the memory.
2. Two chained calls of the `ByteBuf#setByte` with constants can be replaced with one `ByteBuf#setShort` to reduce index checks.
3. The signature of method `HttpHeadersEncoder#encoderHeader` has an unnecessary `throws`.
Modifications:
1. Use `ByteBuf#writeShort` or `ByteBuf#writeMedium` instead of `ByteBuf#writeBytes` for the constants.
2. Use `ByteBuf#setShort` instead of chained call of the `ByteBuf#setByte` with constants.
3. Remove an unnecessary `throws` from `HttpHeadersEncoder#encoderHeader`.
Result:
A bit faster writes constants into buffers.
Motivation:
Right now HttpRequestEncoder does insertion of slash for url like http://localhost?pararm=1 before the question mark. It is done not effectively.
Modification:
Code:
new StringBuilder(len + 1)
.append(uri, 0, index)
.append(SLASH)
.append(uri, index, len)
.toString();
Replaced with:
new StringBuilder(uri)
.insert(index, SLASH)
.toString();
Result:
Faster HttpRequestEncoder. Additional small test. Attached benchmark in PR.

Motivation:
1. `ByteBuf` contains methods to writing `CharSequence` which optimized for UTF-8 and ASCII encodings. We can also apply optimization for ISO-8859-1.
2. In many places appropriate methods are not used.
Modifications:
1. Apply optimization for ISO-8859-1 encoding in the `ByteBuf#setCharSequence` realizations.
2. Apply appropriate methods for writing `CharSequences` into buffers.
Result:
Reduce overhead from string-to-bytes conversion.
Motivation:
These headers can be used to prevent clickjacking.
Modifications:
Add static fields for content-security-policy and x-frame-options
Result:
Expose general useful names
Motivation:
A life cycle of QueryStringEncoder is simple: create, append params, convert to String. Current realization collect params in the list, and calculate an URI string in `toString` method. We can simplify this: don't store params to the list, and immediately append parameters to the `StringBuilder`.
Modifications:
- Remove list for params and remove a tuple class `Param`.
- Use one common `StringBuilder` and append parameters into it.
- Resolve `TODO` in the `encodeParam` method.
Result:
Less allocations (no `ArrayList`, no `Param` tuples). Second `toString` call is faster.
Motivation:
PR #6811 introduced a public utility methods to decode hex dump and its parts, but they are not visible from netty-common.
Modifications:
1. Move the `decodeHexByte`, `decodeHexDump` and `decodeHexNibble` methods into `StringUtils`.
2. Apply these methods where applicable.
3. Remove similar methods from other locations (e.g. `HpackHex` test class).
Result:
Less code duplication.
Motivation:
If the content-length does not parse as a number, leniency causes this
to instead be parsed as the default value. This leads to bodies being
silently ignored on requests which can be incredibly dangerous. Instead,
if the content-length header is invalid, an exception should be thrown
for upstream handling.
Modifications:
This commit removes the leniency in parsing the content-length header by
allowing a number format exception, if thrown, to escape from the method
rather than falling back to the default value.
Result:
In invalid content-length header will not be silently ignored.
Motivation:
For multi-line headers HttpObjectDecoder uses StringBuilder.append(a).append(b) pattern that could be easily replaced with regular a + b. Also oparations with a and b moved out from concat operation to make it friendly for StringOptimizeConcat optimization and thus - faster.
Modification:
StringBuilder.append(a).append(b) reaplced with a + b. Operations with a and b moved out from concat oparation.
Result:
Code simpler to read and faster.
Motivation:
The class `HttpPostRequestEncoder` has minor issues:
- The `encodeNextChunkMultipart()` method contains two identical blocks of code with a difference only in the cast interfaces: `Attribute` vs `HttpData`. Because the `Attribute` is extended by `HttpData`, the block with the `Attribute` can be safely deleted.
- The `getNewMultipartDelimiter()` method contains a redundant `toLowerCase()`.
- The `addBodyFileUploads()` method throws `NPE` instead of `IllegalArgumentException`.
Modifications:
- Remove duplicated code block from `encodeNextChunkMultipart()`.
- Remove redundant `toLowerCase()` from `getNewMultipartDelimiter()`.
- Replace `NPE` with `IllegalArgumentException` in `addBodyFileUploads()`.
- Use `ObjectUtil#checkNotNull` where possible.
Result:
More correct and clean code.
Motivations:
1. There are duplicated implementations of decoding hex strings. #6797
2. ByteBufUtil.HexUtil.decodeHexDump does not handle substring start
index properly and does not decode hex byte rigorously.
Modifications:
1. Function decodeHexByte is moved from QueryStringDecoder into ByteBufUtil.
2. ByteBufUtil.HexUtil.decodeHexDump is changed to use decodeHexByte.
3. Tests are Updated accordingly.
Result:
Fixed#6797 and made hex decoding functions more robust.
Motivation:
A `SeekAheadNoBackArrayException` used as check for `ByteBuf#hasArray`. The catch of exceptions carries a large overhead on stack trace filling, and this should be avoided.
Modifications:
- Remove the class `SeekAheadNoBackArrayException` and replace its usage with `if` statements.
- Use methods from `ObjectUtils` for better readability.
- Make private methods static where it make sense.
- Remove unused private methods.
Result:
Less of exception handling logic, better performance.
Motivation:
If a full HttpResponse with a Content-Length header is encoded by the HttpContentEncoder subtypes the Content-Length header is removed and the message is set to Transfer-Encoder: chunked. This is an unnecessary loss of information about the message content.
Modifications:
- If a full HttpResponse has a Content-Length header, the header is adjusted after encoding.
Result:
Complete messages continue to have the Content-Length header after encoding.
Motivation:
QueryStringDecoder has several problems:
- doesn't decode correctly path part with `+` (plus) sign in it,
- doesn't cut a `fragment` (after `#`) from query string (see RFC 3986),
- doesn't work correctly with encoding,
- treat `%%` as a percent character escaping (it's don't described in RFC).
Modifications:
- leave `+` chars in a `path` part of uri string,
- ignore `fragment` part (after `#`),
- correctly work with encoding.
- don't treat `%%` as escaping for the `%`.
Result:
Fixed issues from #6745.
Motivation:
Allow subclasses of HttpObjectEncoder other than HttpServerCodec to override the isContentAlwaysEmpty method
Modification:
Change the method visibility from package private to protected
Result:
Fixes#6761
Motivation:
Fix the regression recently introduced that causes already encoded responses to be encoded again as gzip
Modification:
instead of just looking for IDENTITY, anything set for Content-Encoding should be respected and left as-is
added unit tests to capture this use case
Result:
Fixes#6784
Motivation
RFC 1945 (see section 3.1) says that request lines may not have a version in which case the request is assumed to be HTTP/0.9. We don't necessarily want to support that but the existing Exception should indicate the possibility of the request being HTTP/0.9 and give the user a chance to track it down.
Modifications
Indicate in the Exception's message that the request is possibly HTTP/0.9.
Result
Fixes#6739
Motivation:
The status 308 is defined by RFC7538.
This RFC has currently the state Proposed Standard since 2 years, but the status code is already handle by all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, …).
To let developer handles easily this status code, it is added into this list.
Modifications:
Added this status code in the list of all status codes and changed the valudOf() method
Result:
Status code 308 included
