Motivation:
Currently, it is impossible to give a user the full control over what to do in response to the request with 'Expect: 100-continue' header. Currently, a user have to do one of the following:
- Accept the request and respond with 100 Continue, or
- Send the reject response and close the connection.
.. which means it is impossible to send the reject response and keep the connection alive so that the client sends additional requests.
Modification:
Added a public method called 'reset()' to HttpObjectDecoder so that a user can reset the state of the decoder easily. Once called, the decoder will assume the next input will be the beginning of a new request.
HttpObjectAggregator now calls `reset()`right after calling 'handleOversizedMessage()' so that the decoder can continue to decode the subsequent request even after the request with 'Expect: 100-continue' header is rejected.
Added relevant unit tests / Minor clean-up
Result:
This commit completes the fix of #2211
Exposing the constant as a public static final field is usually not a
good idea because it gives less flexibility to us when we happen to
change our internal implementation.
- Related: #2163
- Add ResourceLeakHint to allow a user to provide a meaningful information about the leak when touching it
- DefaultChannelHandlerContext now implements ResourceLeakHint to tell where the message is going.
- Cleaner resource leak report by excluding noisy stack trace elements
NPN server providers return a String version of the negotiated protocol
and the getProtocolByName method allows to easily get an instance of
the SelectedProtocol enum and avoid the need for a switch statement in
each subclass to match the String against the enum value.
- Since Netty 4, HTTP decoder does not generate a full message at all. Therefore, there's no need to keep separate states for the content smaller than maxChunkSize.
- maxChunkSize must be greater than 0. Setting it to 0 should not disable chunked encoding. We have a dedicated flag for that.
- Uncommented the tests that were commented out for an unknown reason, with some fixes.
- Added more tests for HTTP decoder.
- Removed the Ignore annotation on some tests.
* No need to calculate the hash of known header names multiple times
* Optimize header encoding
* Also optimize the encoding of known header values
* Optimize encoding of HTTP method, version and status
- Fixes#1808
- Move all methods in ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler up to ChannelHandler
- Remove ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler
- Deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter, ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter, and ChannelDuplexHandler
- Replace CombinedChannelDuplexHandler with ChannelHandlerAppender
because it's not possible to combine two handlers into one easily now
- Introduce 'Skip' annotation to pass events through efficiently
- Remove all references to the deprecated types and update Javadoc
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
- Fixes#1912
- Add ChannelHandlerInvoker and its default implementation
- Add pipeline manipulation methods that accept ChannelHandlerInvoker
- Rename Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Invoker to
Channel(Inbound|Outbound)Ops to avoid confusion
- Remove the Javadoc references to the package-private interfaces
- Related issues: #1937#1938 and #1946
- Add InterfaceHttpPostRequestDecoder and Make HttpPostRequestDecoder implement it
- HttpPostRequestDecoder actually delegates itself to HttpPostStandardRequestDecoder or HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder
- Remove IncompatibleDataDecoderException because it's not thrown anywhere now
- Proposed fix for #1824
UniqueName and its subtypes do not allow getting the previously registered instance. For example, let's assume that a user is running his/her application in an OSGi container with Netty bundles and his server bundle. Whenever the server bundle is reloaded, the server will try to create a new AttributeKey instance with the same name. However, Netty bundles were not reloaded at all, so AttributeKey will complain that the name is taken already (by the previously loaded bundle.)
To fix this problem:
- Replaced UniqueName with Constant, AbstractConstant, and ConstantPool. Better name and better design.
- Sctp/Udt/RxtxChannelOption is not a ChannelOption anymore. They are just constant providers and ChannelOption is final now. It's because caching anything that's from outside of netty-transport will lead to ClassCastException on reload, because ChannelOption's constant pool will keep all option objects for reuse.
- Signal implements Constant because we can't ensure its uniqueness anymore by relying on the exception raised by UniqueName's constructor.
- This commit allows a user to write its first web socket frame right after calling WebSocketServerHandshaker.handshake() rather than adding a listener to the future it returns.
- Should fix#1933
This includes the following changes:
* Rewrite HttpObjectDecoder to use ByteToMessageDecoder
* Optimize parsing of the header
* Allow to disable the header validation for performance reason
* Not need to validate kwown header names and values
* Minimize access of ThreadLocals
* Optimize parsing of initial line
encode of chunked content is not the most common pattern so moving it to an extra method makes it possible to inline the rest as it is a smaller method now.
* Minimize allocation of StringBuilder and also minimize char array copy
* Try to detect HttpVersion without calling toUpperCase() for performance reasons
- write() now accepts a ChannelPromise and returns ChannelFuture as most
users expected. It makes the user's life much easier because it is
now much easier to get notified when a specific message has been
written.
- flush() does not create a ChannelPromise nor returns ChannelFuture.
It is now similar to what read() looks like.
DefaultChannelHandlerContext does not trigger exceptionCaught() immediately when ChannelOutboundHandler.write() raises an exception. It just records the exception until flush() is triggered. On invokeFlush(), if there's any exception recorded, DefaultChannelHandlerContext will fail the promise without calling ChannelOutboundHandler.flush(). If more than one exception were raised, only the first exception is used as the cause of the failure and the others will be logged at warn level.
- Remove channelReadSuspended because it's actually same with messageReceivedLast
- Rename messageReceived to channelRead
- Rename messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete
We renamed messageReceivedLast to channelReadComplete because it
reflects what it really is for. Also, we renamed messageReceived to
channelRead for consistency in method names.
I must admit MesageList was pain in the ass. Instead of forcing a
handler always loop over the list of messages, this commit splits
messageReceived(ctx, list) into two event handlers:
- messageReceived(ctx, msg)
- mmessageReceivedLast(ctx)
When Netty reads one or more messages, messageReceived(ctx, msg) event
is triggered for each message. Once the current read operation is
finished, messageReceivedLast() is triggered to tell the handler that
the last messageReceived() was the last message in the current batch.
Similarly, for outbound, write(ctx, list) has been split into two:
- write(ctx, msg)
- flush(ctx, promise)
Instead of writing a list of message with a promise, a user is now
supposed to call write(msg) multiple times and then call flush() to
actually flush the buffered messages.
Please note that write() doesn't have a promise with it. You must call
flush() to get notified on completion. (or you can use writeAndFlush())
Other changes:
- Because MessageList is completely hidden, codec framework uses
List<Object> instead of MessageList as an output parameter.
