Motivation:
WebSocket decoding throws exceptions on failure that should cause the
pipline to close. These are currently ignored in the
`WebSocketProtocolHandler` and `WebSocketServerProtocolHandler`. In
particular, this means that messages exceding the max message size will
cause the channel to close with no reported failure.
Modifications:
Re-fire the event just before closing the socket to allow it to be
handled appropriately.
Result:
Closes [#3063].
Motivation:
If Content-Encoding: IDENTITY is used we should not try to compress the http message but just let it pass-through.
Modifications:
Remove "!"
Result:
Fixes [#6689]
Motivation:
DiskFileUpload creates temporary files for storing user uploads containing the user provided file name as part of the temporary file name. While most security problems are prevented by using "new File(userFileName).getName()" a small risk for bugs or security issues remains.
Modifications:
Use a constant string as file name and rely on the callers use of File.createTemp to ensure unique disk file names.
Result:
A slight security improvement at the cost of a little more obfuscated temp file names.
Motivation:
We miss to retain a slice before return it to the user and so an reference count error may accour later on.
Modifications:
Use readRetainedSlice(...) and so ensure we retain the buffer before hand it of to the user.
Result:
Fixes [#6626].
Motivation:
Commit #d675febf07d14d4dff82471829f974369705655a introduced a regression in QueryStringEncoder, resulting in whitespace being converted into a literal `+` sign instead of `%20`.
Modification:
Modify `encodeComponent` to pattern match and replace on the result of the call to `URLEncoder#encode`
Result:
Fixes regression
Motivation:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.2 states that a 204 response MUST NOT include a Content-Length header. If the HTTP version permits keep alive these responses should be treated as keeping the connection alive even if there is no Content-Length header.
Modifications:
- HttpServerKeepAliveHandler#isSelfDefinedMessageLength should account for 204 respones
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6549.
Motivation:
Currently netty is receiving HTTP request by ByteBuf and store it as "CharSequence" on HttpObjectDecoder. During this operation, all character on ByteBuf is moving to char[] without breaking encoding.
But in process() function, type casting from byte to char does not consider msb (sign-bit). So the value over 127 can be casted wrong value. (ex : 0xec in byte -> 0xffec in char). This is type casting bug.
Modification:
Fix type casting
Result:
Non-latin characters work.
Motivation:
Some classes have fields which can be local.
Modifications:
Convert fields to the local variable when possible.
Result:
Clean up. More chances for young generation or scalar replacement.
Motivation:
We only need to add the port to the HOST header value if its not a standard port.
Modifications:
- Only add port if needed.
- Fix parsing of ipv6 address which is enclosed by [].
Result:
Fixes [#6426].
Motivation:
QueryStringDecoder and QueryStringEncoder contained some code that could either cleaned-up or optimized.
Modifications:
- Fix typos in exception messages and javadocs
- Precompile Pattern
- Make use of StringUtil.EMPTY_STRING
Result:
Faster and cleaner code.
Motivation:
Calling a static method is faster then dynamic
Modifications:
Add 'static' keyword for methods where it missed
Result:
A bit faster method calls
Motivation:
We have our own ThreadLocalRandom implementation to support older JDKs . That said we should prefer the JDK provided when running on JDK >= 7
Modification:
Using ThreadLocalRandom implementation of the JDK when possible.
Result:
Make use of JDK implementations when possible.
Motivation:
Make code easier to read without IDE highlighting.
Modification:
Removed unnecessary 'continue' at end of condition, explicit array creation, unboxing.
Result:
Code easier to read.
Motivation:
DefaultCookie currently used an undocumented magic value for undefined
maxAge.
Clients need to be able to identify such value so they can implement a
proper CookieJar.
Ideally, we should add a `Cookie::isMaxAgeDefined` method but I guess
we can’t add a new method without breaking API :(
Modifications:
Add a new constant on `Cookie` interface so clients can use it to
compare with value return by `Cookie.maxAge` and decide if `maxAge` was
actually defined.
Result:
Clients have a better documented way to check if the maxAge attribute
was defined.
Motivation:
We used various mocking frameworks. We should only use one...
Modifications:
Make usage of mocking framework consistent by only using Mockito.
Result:
Less dependencies and more consistent mocking usage.
Motivation:
HttpHeaders.setTransferEncodingChunked could add a second Transfer-Encoding
header if one was already present. While this is technically valid, it
does not appear to be the intent of the method.
Result:
Only one Transfer-Encoding header is present after calling this method.
Motivation:
In Netty, currently, the HttpPostRequestEncoder only supports POST, PUT, PATCH and OPTIONS, while the RFC 7231 allows with a warning that GET, HEAD, DELETE and CONNECT use a body too (but not TRACE where it is explicitely not allowed).
The RFC in chapter 4.3 says:
"A payload within a XXX request message has no defined semantics;
sending a payload body on a XXX request might cause some existing
implementations to reject the request."
where XXX can be replaced by one of GET, HEAD, DELETE or CONNECT.
Current usages, on particular in REST mode, tend to use those extra HttpMethods for such queries.
So this PR proposes to remove the current restrictions, leaving only TRACE as explicitely not supported.
Modification:
In the constructor, where the test is done, replacing all by checking only against TRACE, and adding one test to check that all methods are supported or not.
Result:
Fixes#6138.
Motivation:
cb139043f3 introduced special handling of response to HEAD requests. Due a bug we failed to handle FullHttpResponse correctly.
Modifications:
Correctly handle FullHttpResponse for HEAD requests.
Result:
Works as expected.
Motivation:
We should have a unit test which explicitly tests a HTTP message being split between multiple ByteBuf objects.
Modifications:
- Add a unit test to HttpRequestDecoderTest which splits a request between 2 ByteBuf objects
Result:
More unit test coverage for HttpObjectDecoder.
Motivation:
Enables optional .startsWith() matching of req.uri() with websocketPath.
Modifications:
New checkStartsWith boolean option with default false value added to both WebSocketServerProtocolHandler and WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler. req.uri() matching is based on this option.
Result:
By default old behavior matching via .equal() is preserved. To use checkStartsWith use constructor shortcut: new WebSocketServerProtocolHandler(websocketPath, true) or fill this flag on full form of constructor among other options.
request with a 'content-encoding: chunked' header
Motivation:
It is valid to send a response to a HEAD request that contains a transfer-encoding: chunked header, but it is not valid to include a body, and there is no way to do this using the netty4 HttpServerCodec.
The root cause is that the netty4 HttpObjectEncoder will transition to the state ST_CONTENT_CHUNK and the only way to transition back to ST_INIT is through the encodeChunkedContent method which will write the terminating length (0\r\n\r\n\r\n), a protocol error when responding to a HEAD request
Modifications:
- Keep track of the method of the request and depending on it handle the response differently when encoding it.
- Added a unit test.
Result:
Correclty handle HEAD responses that are chunked.
Motiviation:
We used ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) in our tests which simplifies a bit the releasing of ReferenceCounted objects. The problem with this is that while it simplifies stuff it increase memory usage a lot as memory may not be freed up in a timely manner.
Modifications:
- Deprecate releaseLater(...)
- Remove usage of releaseLater(...) in tests.
Result:
Less memory needed to build netty while running the tests.
Motivation:
If the wsURL contains an encoded query, it will be decoded when generating the raw path. For example if the wsURL is http://test.org/path?a=1%3A5, the returned raw path would be /path?a=1:5
Modifications:
Use wsURL.getRawQuery() rather than wsURL.getQuery()
Result:
rawPath will now return /path?a=1%3A5
Motivation:
We need to ensure we not add the Transfer-Encoding header if the HttpMessage is EOF terminated.
Modifications:
Only add the Transfer-Encoding header if an Content-Length header is present.
Result:
Correctly handle HttpMessage that is EOF terminated.
Motivation:
HttpObjectDecoder maintains a resetRequested flag which is used to determine if internal state should be reset when a decode occurs. However after a reset is done the resetRequested flag is not set to false. This leads to all data after this point being discarded.
Modifications:
- Set resetRequested to false when a reset is done
Result:
HttpObjectDecoder can still function after a reset.
Motivation:
As discussed in #5738, developers need to concern themselves with setting
connection: keep-alive on the response as well as whether to close a
connection or not after writing a response. This leads to special keep-alive
handling logic in many different places. The purpose of the HttpServerKeepAliveHandler
is to allow developers to add this handler to their pipeline and therefore
free themselves of having to worry about the details of how Keep-Alive works.
Modifications:
Added HttpServerKeepAliveHandler to the io.netty.handler.codec.http package.
Result:
Developers can start using HttpServerKeepAliveHandler in their pipeline instead
of worrying about when to close a connection for keep-alive.
Motivation:
HttpObjectAggregator has a potential to leak if a new message is received before the existing message has completed, and if a HttpContent is received but maxContentLength has been exceeded, or the content length is too long.
Modifications:
- Make the HttpObjectAggregator more robust to leaks
- Remove the tooLongFrameFound member variable
Result:
More robust HttpObjectAggregator with less chance of leaks
Motivation:
The CorsHandler currently closes the channel when it responds to a preflight (OPTIONS)
request or in the event of a short circuit due to failed validation.
Especially in an environment where there's a proxy in front of the service this causes
unnecessary connection churn.
Modifications:
CorsHandler now uses HttpUtil to determine if the connection should be closed
after responding and to set the Connection header on the response.
Result:
Channel will stay open when the CorsHandler responds unless the client specifies otherwise
or the protocol version is HTTP/1.0
Motivation:
Documentation was added in #2401 to aid developers in understanding
how HttpObjectAggregator works and that it needs an encoder before it.
In #2471 it was pointed out that the documentation added can actually
add to the confusion and that it might have a typo.
This is an attempt at clearing up that confusion. Feedback is welcome.
Modifications:
- Adjust class level javadoc for HttpObjectAggregator
* Remove reference to HttpRequestEncoder
* Point out when HttpResponseEncoder is needed
* Point out that either HttpRequestDecoder or HttpResponseDecoder is needed
* Make clear everything must be added before HttpObjectAggregator
* Mention HttpServerCodec
Result:
Avoid confusion about dependencies for HttpObjectAggregator on the pipeline.
