Motivation:
HttpToHttp2ConnectionHandler.write(ctx, msg, promise) ignores HttpConversionUtil.ExtensionHeaderNames.STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID header in outbound message. Beside this InboundHttp2ToHttpAdapter also not add the STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT headers.
Modifications:
Respect STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT
Result:
Correctly respect STREAM_DEPENDENCY_ID and STREAM_WEIGHT.
Motivation:
the build doesnt seem to enforce this, so they piled up
Modifications:
removed unused import lines
Result:
less unused imports

Motivation:
Http2EventAdapter implements the Http2FrameListener interface but implements the #onUnknownFrame(...) method without the interface's throws Http2Exception.
Modifications:
Add throws Http2Exception.
Result:
More correct method signature.
Motivation:
The StreamBufferingEncoder is missing documentation of what happens
to buffered frames when it's closed.
Modifications:
Added this missing piece of documentation.
Result:
Improved documentation.
Motivation:
codec-http2 is really loud!
Modification:
Allow users to select how to log in the Http2Codec.
Result:
We can run Http2Codec and log however we like.
Motivation:
HTTP/2 Decoder#decodeULE128 current will tolerate more bytes than necessary when attempted to detect overflow. The usage of this method also currently requires an additional overflow conditional.
Modifications:
- Integrate the first byte into Decoder#decodeULE128 which allows us to detect overflow reliably and avoid overflow checks outside of this method.
Result:
Less conditionals and earlier overflow detection in Decoder#decodeULE128
Motivation:
Http2ServerDowngrader doesn't mark chunked requests as chunked, even
though the natural conversion from http/2 requests to http/1.1 requests
is to chunked ones.
Modifications:
Mark requests that aren't already complete as chunked.
Result:
Requests will be chunked, and can later be aggregated if necessary.
Motivation:
Void promises need special treatment, as they don't behave like normal promises. One
cannot add a listener to a void promise for example.
Modifications:
Inspected the code for addListener() calls, and added extra logic for void promises
where necessary. Essentially, when writing a frame with a void promise, any errors
are reported via the channel pipeline's exceptionCaught event.
Result:
The HTTP/2 codec has better support for void promises.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we only call debugData.release() if we called debugData.retain(), otherwise we my see an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Modifications:
Only call release() if we called retain().
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException possible.
Motivation:
We need to call debugData.retain() before we forward the frame to the pipeline as ByteToMessageDecoder will call release() on the buffer.
Modifications:
Correctly retain debugData and fix the unit test to test for it.
Result:
No more IllegalReferenceCountException when using the Http2FrameCodec.
Motivation:
he HTTP/2 spec demands that the max value for SETTINGS_HEADER_TABLE_SIZE should be an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Modifications:
Change the limit to unsigned 32-bit integer and add tests.
Result:
Complient to rfc.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.FlowControlledData.write() does not
complete the write promise of empty HTTP/2 DATA frames until either a
non-DATA frame, a non-empty DATA frame or a DATA frame with endOfStream
set. This makes the write promise of the empty DATA frame is notified
much later than it could be.
Modifications:
- Notify the write promise of the empty DATA frames immediately is the
queue contains empty DATA frames only
Result:
The write promise of an empty DATA frame is notified sooner.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 HPACK Encoder class has some code which is only used for test purposes. This code can be removed to reduce complexity and member variable count.
Modifications:
- Remove test code and update unit tests
- Other minor cleanup
Result:
Test code is removed from operational code.
Motivation:
In DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder we fail the promise in in the FlowControlledData.error(...) method but also add it the CoalescingBufferQueue. Which can lead to have the promise failed by error(...) before it can be failed in CoalescingBufferQueue.
This can lead to confusing and missleading errors in the log like:
2016-08-12 09:47:43,716 nettyIoExecutorGroup-1-9 [WARN ] PromiseNotifier - Failed to mark a promise as failure because it's done already: DefaultChannelPromise@374225e0(failure: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSLEngine closed already)
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSLEngine closed already
at io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandler.wrap(...)(Unknown Source) ~[netty-all-4.1.5.Final-SNAPSHOT.jar:?]
Modifications:
Ensure we only fail the queue (which will also fail the promise).
Result:
No more missleading logs.
Motivation:
As per the HTTP/2 spec, exceeding the MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS should be treated as a stream error as opposed to a connection error.
"An endpoint that receives a HEADERS frame that causes its advertised concurrent stream limit to be exceeded MUST treat this as a stream error (Section 5.4.2) of type PROTOCOL_ERROR or REFUSED_STREAM." http://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7540.html#rfc.section.5.1.2
Modifications:
Make the error a stream error.
Result:
It's a stream error.
Motivation:
21e8d84b79 changed the way bounds checking was done, but however a bounds check in the case of READ_LITERAL_HEADER_NAME_LENGTH_PREFIX was using an old value. This would delay when the bounds check would actually be done and potentially allow more allocation than necessary.
Modifications:
- Use the new length (index) in the bounds check instead of an old length (nameLength) which had not yet been assigned to the new value.
Result:
More correct bounds checking.
Motivation:
The HPACK decoder keeps state so that the decode method can be called multiple times with successive header fragments. This decoder also requires that a method is called to signify the decoding is complete. At this point status is returned to indicate if the max header size has been violated. Netty always accumulates the header fragments into a single buffer before attempting to HPACK decode process and so keeping state and delaying notification that bounds have been exceeded is not necessary.
Modifications:
- HPACK Decoder#decode(..) now must be called with a complete header block
- HPACK will terminate immediately if the maximum header length, or maximum number of headers is exceeded
- Reduce member variables in the HPACK Decoder class because they can now live in the decode(..) method
Result:
HPACK bounds checking is done earlier and less class state is needed.
Motivation:
765e944d4d imposed a limit on the maximum number of stream in all states. However the default limit did not allow room for streams in addition to SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS. This can mean streams in states outside the states which SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS applies to may not be reliably created.
Modifications:
- The default limit should be larger than SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS
Result:
More lenient limit is applied to maxStreams by default.
Motivation:
SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS does not apply to idle streams and thus we do not apply any explicit limitations on how many idle streams can be created. This may allow a peer to consume an undesirable amount of resources.
Modifications:
- Each Endpoint should enforce a limit for streams in a any state. By default this limit will be the same as SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS but can be overridden if necessary.
Result:
There is now a limit to how many IDLE streams can be created.
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionDecoder#localSettings(Http2Settings) is not used in codec-http2 and currently results in duplicated code.
Modifications:
- Remove Http2ConnectionDecoder#localSettings(Http2Settings)
Result:
Smaller interface and less duplicated code.
Motivation:
The channel promise of a window update frame is not completed correctly,
depending on the failure or success of the operation.
Modification:
Succeed / Fail the promise if the window update succeeds / fails.
Result:
Correctly succeed / fail the promise.
Motivation:
When writing an Http2WindowUpdateFrame to an Http2FrameCodec, the
ChannelPromise is never satisfied, so callers cannot generically rely on the
write future being satisfied on success.
Modifications:
When writing Http2WindowUpdateFrame, Http2FrameCodec now satisfies the
ChannelPromise immediately.
Result:
The write future is satisfied on successful writes.
Fixesnetty/netty#5530.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.writePendingBytes does not support reentry but does not enforce this constraint. Reentry is possible if the channel transitions from Writable -> Not Writable -> Writable during the distribution phase. This can happen if the user flushes when notified of the channel transitioning to the not writable state, and may be done if the user wants to fill the channel outbound buffer before flushing.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController.writePendingBytes should protect against reentry
Result:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController will not allocate unexpected amounts or enter an infinite loop.
Motivation:
DefaultPromise has a listeners member variable which is volatile to allow for an optimization which makes notification of listeners less expensive when there are no listeners to notify. However this change makes all other operations involving the listeners member variable more costly. This optimization which requires listeners to be volatile can be removed to avoid volatile writes/reads for every access on the listeners member variable.
Modifications:
- DefaultPromise listeners is made non-volatile and the null check optimization is removed
Result:
DefaultPromise.listeners is no longer volatile.
Motivation:

Result:
DefaultPromise.listeners is no longer volatile.
Motivation:
HPACK Encoder has a data structure which is similar to a previous version of DefaultHeaders. Some of the same improvements can be made.
Motivation:
- Enforce the restriction that the Encoder's headerFields length must be a power of two so we can use masking instead of modulo
- Use AsciiString.hashCode which already has optimizations instead of having yet another hash code algorithm in Encoder
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5357
Motivation:
PlatformDependent attempts to use reflection to get the underlying char[] (or byte[]) from String objects. This is fragile as if the String implementation does not utilize the full array, and instead uses a subset of the array, this optimization is invalid. OpenJDK6 and some earlier versions of OpenJDK7 String have the capability to use a subsection of the underlying char[].
Modifications:
- PlatformDependent should not attempt to use the underlying array from String (or other data types) via reflection
Result:
PlatformDependent hash code generation for CharSequence does not depend upon specific JDK implementation details.
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 RFC states in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.8 that Endpoints MUST NOT increase the value they send in the last stream identifier however we don't enforce this when decoding GOAWAY frames.
Modifications:
- Throw a connection error if the peer attempts to increase the lastStreamId in a GOAWAY frame
Result:
RFC is more strictly enforced.
Motivation:
Quote from issue 4914:
"Http2MultiplexCodec currently does two things: mapping the existing h2 API to frames and managing the child channels.
It would be better if the two parts were separated. This would allow less-coupled development of the HTTP/2 handlers (flow control could be its own handler, for instance) and allow applications to insert themselves between all streams and the codec, which permits custom logic and could be used, in part, to implement custom frame types.
It would also greatly ease testing, as the child channel could be tested by itself without dealing with how frames are encoded on the wire."
Modifications:
- Split the Http2MultiplexCodec into Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec. The Http2FrameCodec interacts with the existing HTTP/2 callback-based API, while the Http2MulitplexCodec is completely independent of it and simply multiplexes Http2StreamFrames to the child channels. Additionally, the Http2Codec handler is introduced, which is a convenience class that simply sets up the Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec in the channel pipeline and removes itself.
- Improved test coverage quite a bit.
Result:
- The original Http2MultiplexCodec is split into Http2FrameCodec and Http2MultiplexCodec.
- More tests for higher confidence in the code.
Motivation:
PR #5355 modified interfaces to reduce GC related to the HPACK code. However this came with an anticipated performance regression related to HpackUtil.equals due to AsciiString's increase cost of charAt(..). We should mitigate this performance regression.
Modifications:
- Introduce an equals method in PlatformDependent which doesn't leak timing information and use this in HpcakUtil.equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5436
Motivation:
The HTTP/2 specification requires the pad length field of DATA, HEADERS and PUSH_PROMISE frames to be counted towards the flow control window. The current implementation doesn't do so (See #5434).
Furthermore, it's currently not possible to add one byte padding, as this would add the one byte pad length field as well as append one padding byte to the end of the frame.
Modifications:
Include the one byte pad length field in the padding parameter of the API. Thereby extending the allowed value range by one byte to 256 (inclusive). On the wire, a one byte padding is encoded with a pad length field with value zero and a 256 byte padding is encoded with a pad length field with value 255 and 255 bytes append to the end of the frame.
Result:
More correct padding.
Motivations:
The HPACK code was not really optimized and written with Netty types in mind. Because of this a lot of garbage was created due heavy object creation.
This was first reported in [#3597] and https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/1872 .
Modifications:
- Directly use ByteBuf as input and output
- Make use of ByteProcessor where possible
- Use AsciiString as this is the only thing we need for our http2 usage
Result:
Less garbage and better usage of Netty apis.
Motivation:
These methods were recently deprecated. However, they remained in use in several locations in Netty's codebase.
Modifications:
Netty's code will now access the bootstrap config to get the group or child group.
Result:
No impact on functionality.
Motivation:
If a single DATA frame ends up being decompressed into multiple frames by DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener the flow control accounting is delayed until all frames have been decompressed. However it is possible the user may want to return bytes to the flow controller which were not included in the onDataRead return value. In this case the amount of processed bytes has not been incremented and will lead to negative value for processed bytes.
Modifications:
- Http2Decompressor.incrementProcessedBytes should be called each time onDataRead is called to ensure all bytes are accounted for at the correct time
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5375
Motivation:
We use pre-instantiated exceptions in various places for performance reasons. These exceptions don't include a stacktrace which makes it hard to know where the exception was thrown. This is especially true as we use the same exception type (for example ChannelClosedException) in different places. Setting some StackTraceElements will provide more context as to where these exceptions original and make debugging easier.
Modifications:
Set a generated StackTraceElement on these pre-instantiated exceptions which at least contains the origin class and method name. The filename and linenumber are specified as unkown (as stated in the javadocs of StackTraceElement).
Result:
Easier to find the origin of a pre-instantiated exception.
Motivation:
JCTools supports both non-unsafe, unsafe versions of queues and JDK6 which allows us to shade the library in netty-common allowing it to stay "zero dependency".
Modifications:
- Remove copy paste JCTools code and shade the library (dependencies that are shaded should be removed from the <dependencies> section of the generated POM).
- Remove usage of OneTimeTask and remove it all together.
Result:
Less code to maintain and easier to update JCTools and less GC pressure as the queue implementation nt creates so much garbage
Motivation:
Http2ConnectionHandler will always send a GO_AWAY when the channel is closed. This may cause problems if the user is attempting to control when GO_AWAY is sent and the content of the GO_AWAY.
Modifications:
- When the channel is closed Http2ConnectionHandler should only send a GO_AWAY if one has not already been sent
Result:
The user has more control over when GO_AWAY is sent
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/5307
