c29e703275 Use Proxy-Authorization instead of Authorization for proxy authentication
Motivation:

When authenticating with a proxy server, HttpProxyHandler should use the
'Proxy-Authorization' header rather than the 'Authorization' header.

Modifications:

- Use 'Proxy-Authorization' header

Result:

Can connect to an HTTP proxy server

35db3c6710 Small performance improvements
Motivation:

Found performance issues via FindBugs and PMD.

Modifications:

- Removed unnecessary boxing/unboxing operations in DefaultTextHeaders.convertToInt(CharSequence) and DefaultTextHeaders.convertToLong(CharSequence). A boxed primitive is created from a string, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Added a static modifier for DefaultHttp2Connection.ParentChangedEvent class. This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
- Added a static compiled Pattern to avoid compile it each time it is used when we need to replace some part of authority.
- Improved using of StringBuilders.

Result:

Performance improvements.

4ce994dd4f Fix backward compatibility from the previous backport
Motivation:

The commit 50e06442c3 changed the type of
the constants in HttpHeaders.Names and HttpHeaders.Values, making 4.1
backward-incompatible with 4.0.

It also introduces newer utility classes such as HttpHeaderUtil, which
deprecates most static methods in HttpHeaders.  To ease the migration
between 4.1 and 5.0, we should deprecate all static methods that are
non-existent in 5.0, and provide proper counterpart.

Modification:

- Revert the changes in HttpHeaders.Names and Values
- Deprecate all static methods in HttpHeaders in favor of:
  - HttpHeaderUtil
  - the member methods of HttpHeaders
  - AsciiString
- Add integer and date access methods to HttpHeaders for easier future
  migration to 5.0
- Add HttpHeaderNames and HttpHeaderValues which provide standard HTTP
  constants in AsciiString
  - Deprecate HttpHeaders.Names and Values
  - Make HttpHeaderValues.WEBSOCKET lowercased because it's actually
    lowercased in all WebSocket versions but the oldest one
- Add RtspHeaderNames and RtspHeaderValues which provide standard RTSP
  constants in AsciiString
  - Deprecate RtspHeaders.*
- Do not use AsciiString.equalsIgnoreCase(CharSeq, CharSeq) if one of
  the parameters are AsciiString
- Avoid using AsciiString.toString() repetitively
  - Change the parameter type of some methods from String to
    CharSequence

Result:

Backward compatibility is recovered.  New classes and methods will make
the migration to 5.0 easier, once (Http|Rtsp)Header(Names|Values) are
ported to master.

50e06442c3 Backport header improvements from 5.0
Motivation:
The header class hierarchy and algorithm was improved on the master branch for versions 5.x. These improvments should be backported to the 4.1 baseline.

Modifications:
- cherry-pick the following commits from the master branch: 2374e17, 36b4157, 222d258

Result:
Header improvements in master branch are available in 4.1 branch.

b9eb8f0e01 Fix test failures in ProxyHandlerTest
Motivation:

The default name resolver attempts to resolve the bad host name (destination.com) and actually succeeds, making the ProxyHandlerTest fail.

Modification:

Use NoopNameResolverGroup instead.

Result:

ProxyHandlerTest passes again.

2309a75d15 Add proxy support for client socket connections
Related issue: #1133

Motivation:

There is no support for client socket connections via a proxy server in
Netty.

Modifications:

- Add a new module 'handler-proxy'
- Add ProxyHandler and its subclasses to support SOCKS 4a/5 and HTTP(S)
  proxy connections
- Add a full parameterized test for most scenarios
- Clean up pom.xml

Result:

A user can make an outgoing connection via proxy servers with only
trivial effort.
