Motivation:
The Http2FrameLogger is currently using the internal logging classes. We should change this so that it's using the public classes and then converts internally.
Modifications:
Modified Http2FrameLogger and the examples to use the public LogLevel class.
Result:
Fixes#2512
Motivation:
With the current implementation the client protocol preference list
takes precedence over the one of the server, since the select method
will return the first item, in the client list, that matches any of the
protocols supported by the server. This violates the recommendation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301#section-3.2.
It will also fail with the current implementation of Chrome, which
sends back Extension application_layer_protocol_negotiation, protocols:
[http/1.1, spdy/3.1, h2-14]
Modifications:
Changed the protocol negotiator to prefer server’s list. Added a test
case that demonstrates the issue and that is fixed with the
modifications of this commit.
Result:
Server’s preference list is used.
Motivation:
The current documentation for Endpoint methods referring to concurrent streams and the SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS setting are a bit confusing.
Modifications:
Renamed a few of the methods and added more clear documentation.
Result:
Fixes#3451
Motivation:
There are two writeRstStream methods in the DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.
One of the two is neither used nor part of the Http2FrameWriter interface.
Modifications:
Delete the method.
Result:
Fewer lines of dead code.
Motivation:
For every write of a flow controlled frame (HEADERS, DATA) we are allocating
a Frame object that is not necessary anymore as it does not maintain any
state, besides the payload.
Modifications:
Remove the Frame class and directly add the payload to the pending write queue.
Result:
One few object allocation per write of a flow controlled frame.
Motivation:
While the LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder supports a byte order the LengthFieldPrepender does not.
That means that I can simply add a LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder with ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN to my pipeline
but have to write my own Encoder to write length fields in little endian byte order.
Modifications:
Added a constructor that takes a byte order and all other parameters.
All other constructors delegate to this one with ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN.
LengthFieldPrepender.encode() uses this byte order to write the length field.
Result:
LengthFieldPrepender will write the length field in the defined byte order.
Motivation:
When an error happens during loading the native library it may try to generate a new RuntimeException before the RuntimeException is loaded.
Modifications:
- Load RuntimeException as first
Result:
No more segfaults possible
Motivation:
The logger was always performing a hex dump of the ByteBufs regarless whether or not the log would take place.
Modifications:
Fixed the logger to avoid serializing the ByteBufs and calling the varargs method if logging is not enabled.
Result:
The loggers should run MUCH faster when disabled.
Motivation:
When setting nEventLoops to zero in the MultithreadedEventLoopGroup constructor
the EventLoopGroup chooses the number of EventLoops and Threads to use for you.
We want to make use of this behaviour internally and thus we would like to document
it as a part of the official API, so that we can rely on it.
Modifications:
Document the behaviour when setting nEventLoops to zero.
Fix several spelling / sloppiness mistakes in the documentation.
Result:
nEventLoops=0 is now documented as a part of the official API.
The quality of the documentation is improved.
Motivation:
On a system where ipv4 and ipv6 are supported a user may want to use -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to restrict it to use ipv4 only.
This is currently ignored with the epoll transport.
Modifications:
Respect java.net.preferIPv4Stack system property.
Result:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true will have the effect the user is looking for.
Motivation:
If HEADERS or DATA frames are pending due to a too small flow control
window, a frame with the END_STREAM flag set will wrongfully cancel
all pending frames (including itself).
Also see grpc/grpc-java#145
Modifications:
The transition of the stream state to CLOSE / HALF_CLOSE due to a
set END_STREAM flag is delayed until the frame with the flag is
actually written to the Channel.
Result:
Flow control works correctly. Frames with END_STREAM flag will no
longer cancel their preceding frames.
Motivation:
When remove0() is called multiple times for an DefaultAttribute it can cause corruption of the internal linked-list structure.
Modifications:
- Ensure remove0() can not cause corruption by null out prev and next references.
Result:
No more corruption possible
Related: #3478
Motivation:
DefaultNameResolver uses InetSocketAddress.getHostString() instead of
getHostName(). Because Netty uses the DefaultNameResolver by default and
getHostString() is available only since Java 7, a user cannot use Netty
on Java 6 anymore.
Modifications:
Use InetSocketAddress.getHostName() which is practically same and also
is available in Java 6.
Result:
Netty 4.1 runs on Java 6 again.
Related: #3476
Motivation:
Some users use TrafficCounter for other uses than we originally
intended, such as implementing their own traffic shaper. In such a
case, a user does not want to specify an AbstractTrafficShapingHandler.
Modifications:
- Add a new constructor that does not require an
AbstractTrafficShapingHandler, so that a user can use it without it.
- Simplify TrafficMonitoringTask
- Javadoc cleanup
Result:
We open the possibility of using TrafficCounter for other purposes than
just using it with AbstractTrafficShapingHandler. Eventually, we could
generalize it a little bit more, so that we can potentially use it for
other uses.
Motivation:
Not knowing which unit is returned by the maxContentLength() of the Messageggregator when reading the Javadoc is annoying and can be a source of bugs.
Modifications:
Added the mention "in bytes"
Result:
Javadoc is clear.
Motivation:
Not knowing which unit is used for the maxContentLength of the HttpObjectAggregator when reading the Javadoc is annoying and can be a source of bugs.
Modifications:
Added the mention "in bytes"
Result:
Javadoc is clear.
Related: #3464
Motivation:
When a connection attempt is failed,
NioSocketChannelUnsafe.closeExecutor() triggers a SocketException,
suppressing the channelUnregistered() event.
Modification:
Do not attempt to get SO_LINGER value when a socket is not open yet.
Result:
One less bug
Motivation:
Due a a regression that was introduced by b898bdd we failed to set the localAddress if the connect did not success directly.
Modifications:
Correct set localAddress in doConnect(...)
Result:
Be able to get the localAddress in all cases.
Related: #3445
Motivation:
HttpObjectDecoder.HeaderParser does not reset its counter (the size
field) when it failed to find the end of line. If a header is split
into multiple fragments, the counter is increased as many times as the
number of fragments, resulting an unexpected TooLongFrameException.
Modifications:
- Add test cases that reproduces the problem
- Reset the HeaderParser.size field when no EOL is found.
Result:
One less bug
Motivation:
`Unpooled` javadoc's mentioned the generation of hex dump and swapping an integer's byte order,
which are actually provided by `ByteBufUtil`.
Modifications:
Sentence moved to `ByteBufUtil` javadoc.
Result:
`Unpooled` javadoc is correct.
Motivation:
During 6b941e9bdb I introduced a regression that could cause an IllegalStateException.
A non-proper fix was commited as part of #3443. This commit add a proper fix.
Modifications:
Remove FileDescriptor.INVALID and add FileDescriptor.isOpen() as replacement. Once FileDescriptor.close() is called isOpen() will return false.
Result:
No more IllegalStateException caused by a close channel.
Motivation:
EpollDragramChannel never calls fireChannelActive after connect() which is a bug.
Modifications:
Correctly call fireChannelActive if needed
Result:
Correct behaviour
Motivation:
Before struct's were passed per value and not pointer. This did enforce a memory copy which is not needed.
Modifications:
- Use "const struct....*" as replacement
Result:
No more unnecessary memory copies
Motivation:
When create address from filedescriptor we may use incorrect byte order and so end up with an incorrect InetAddress.
Modification:
Not manually shift bytes
Result:
Correct address in all cases.
Motivation:
Because of a regression sometimes accept could produce an IllegalArgumentException
Modifications:
Correctly respect offset when decode port and scope id.
Result:
No more IllegalArgumentException
Motivation:
Twitter hpack has upgraded to 0.10.1 to fix a parsing bug.
Modifications:
Updated the parent pom to specify the dependency version.
Result:
HTTP/2 updated to the latest hpack release.
Motivation:
This is a regression that was introduced as part of 6b941e9bdb. The regression could produce an "infinity" triggering of IllegalStateException if a channel goes inactive while process the events for it.
Modifications:
Correctly check if the channel is still active before trigger the callbacks.
Result:
No more IllegalStateException
Motivation:
There is a small race in the native transport where an accept(...) may success but a later try to obtain the remote address from the fd may fail is the fd is already closed.
Modifications:
Let accept(...) directly set the remote address.
Result:
No more race possible.
Motivation:
When epoll LT is used and autoRead == false when entering epollIn() we need to return without reading any data.
Modifications:
Correctly respect autoRead == false if using epoll LT.
Result:
Consistent and correct behaviour.
Motivation:
In the native transport we should throw a pre-instanced IOException on connection reset while reading.
Modifications:
Correctly throw pre-instanced IOException when ECONNRESET is received
Result:
Less overhead on connection reset
Motivation:
At the moment when EmbeddedChannel is used and a ChannelHandler tries to schedule and task it will throw an UnsupportedOperationException. This makes it impossible to test these handlers or even reuse them with EmbeddedChannel.
Modifications:
- Factor out reusable scheduling code into AbstractSchedulingEventExecutor
- Let EmbeddedEventLoop and SingleThreadEventExecutor extend AbstractSchedulingEventExecutor
- add EmbbededChannel.runScheduledPendingTasks() which allows to run all scheduled tasks that are ready
Result:
Embeddedchannel is now usable even with ChannelHandler that try to schedule tasks.
Motivation:
Provide non-blocking XML parser as Netty codec.
Modifications:
New codec implemented/extracted.
io.netty.handler.codec.xml.XmlDecoder decodes XML fed by Netty without blocking.
Result:
Non-blocking XML stream parsing.
Motivation:
Currently CORS can be configured to support a 'null' origin, which can
be set by a browser if a resources is loaded from the local file system.
When this is done 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' will be set to "*" (any
origin). There is also a configuration option to allow credentials being
sent from the client (cookies, basic HTTP Authentication, client side
SSL). This is indicated by the response header
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' being set to true. When this is set
to true, the "*" origin is not valid as the value of
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' and a browser will reject the request:
http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-requests
Modifications:
Updated CorsHandler's setAllowCredentials to check the origin and if it
is "*" then it will not add the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'
header.
Result:
Is is possible to have a client send a 'null' origin, and at the same
time have configured the CORS to support that and to allow credentials
in that combination.
Conflicts:
codec-http/src/test/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http/cors/CorsHandlerTest.java
Motivation:
At the moment if you want to return a HTTP header containing multiple
values you have to set/add that header once with the values wanted. If
you used set/add with an array/iterable multiple HTTP header fields will
be returned in the response.
Note, that this is indeed a suggestion and additional work and tests
should be added. This is mainly to bring up a discussion.
Modifications:
Added a flag to specify that when multiple values exist for a single
HTTP header then add them as a comma separated string.
In addition added a method to StringUtil to help escape comma separated
value charsequences.
Result:
Allows for responses to be smaller.
Conflicts:

codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/DefaultTextHeaders.java
codec/src/test/java/io/netty/handler/codec/DefaultTextHeadersTest.java
Motivation:
We should allow to get a ChannelOption/AttributeKey from a String. This will make it a lot easier to make use of configuration files in applications.
Modifications:
- Add exists(...), newInstance(...) method to ChannelOption and AttributeKey and alter valueOf(...) to return an existing instance for a String or create one.
- Add unit tests.
Result:
Much more flexible usage of ChannelOption and AttributeKey.
Motivation:
As we plan to have other native transports soon (like a kqueue transport) we should move unix classes/interfaces out of the epoll package so we
introduce other implementations without breaking stuff before the next stable release.
Modifications:
Create a new io.netty.channel.unix package and move stuff over there.
Result:
Possible to introduce other native impls beside epoll.
Motivation:
Release 4.0.25 was not usable in OSGi environments due to a simple typo.
An automated test could have caught the problem even before it was
committed.
Modifications:
This patch introduces a new artifact, osgitests, which pulls in all
production artifacts (which we want to be checked for OSGi compliance).
It contains only a single unit test, which runs a pax-exam container
with felix OSGi.
At initialization time, it scans all the artifact's dependencies,
looking for things belonging to io.netty group. The container is
configured to deploy those artifacts as bundles and fail if any bundle
is found to be unresolved. It performs a final check to see if any
bundles were tested this way, to make sure the mechanism is not
completely broken.
We are using wrappedBundle(), as two of our third-party dependencies do
not export packages correctly -- this masks the problem, assuming that
whoever deploys our artifacts depending on them will figure out how to
OSGify them.
Result:
Simple typos and other bundle manifest errors should be caught during
test phase of every build.
Motivation:
This will avoid one unncessary method invokation which will slightly improve performance.
Modifications:
Instead of calling isReadable we just check for the value of readableBytes()
Result:
Nothing functionally speaking change.
Motivation:
At the moment we have two problems:
- CompositeByteBuf.addComponent(...) will not add the supplied buffer to the CompositeByteBuf if its empty, which means it will not be released on CompositeByteBuf.release() call. This is a problem as a user will expect everything added will be released (the user not know we not added it).
- CompositeByteBuf.addComponents(...) will either add no buffers if none is readable and so has the same problem as addComponent(...) or directly release the ByteBuf if at least one ByteBuf is readable. Again this gives inconsistent handling and may lead to memory leaks.
Modifications:
- Always add the buffer to the CompositeByteBuf and so release it on release call.
Result:
Consistent handling and no buffer leaks.
Motivation:
HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandlerTest was accidentally modified with a
debugging value for WAIT_TIME_SECONDS.
Modifications:
Reverted the change.
Result:
original wait time restored.
