Motivation:
If the Connection header contains multiple values (which is valid) we fail to detect a websocket upgrade
Modification:
- Add new method which allows to check if a header field contains a specific value (and also respect multiple header values)
- Use this method to detect handshake
Result:
Correct detect handshake if Connection header contains multiple values (seperated by ',').
Motivation:
If the user calls handshake.finishHandshake() we need to ensure that the user has the chance to setup the pipeline before any WebSocketFrames are read. Because of this we need
to delay the removal of the HttpRequestDecoder.
Modifications:
- Remove the HttpRequestDecoder via the EventLoop and so delay it which gives the user a chance to setup the pipeline after finishHandshake() completes
- Add unit test for this.
Result:
Less surpising and correct behaviour even if the http response and websocket frame are received in one read operation.
Motivation:
I am use netty as a http server, it fail to decode some POST request when the request absent Content-Type in the multipart/form-data body.
Modifications:
Set content_type with default application/octet-stream to parse the uploaded file data when the Content-Type is absent in multipart request body
Result:
Can decode the http request as normal.
Motivation:
InternalAttribute doesn't extend Attribute, but its equals only returns true when it compares with an Attribute. So it will return false when comparing with itself.
Modifications:
Make sure InternalAttribute return false for non InternalAttribute objects.
Result:
InternalAttribute's equals works correctly.
Motivation:
I missed to reset the MessageDigest before reusing it. This bug was introduced by 79634e661b.
Modifications:
Call reset() on the MessageDigest.
Result:
Correctly reset MessageDigest before re-using
Motivation:
SpdySession.StreamComparator should not be Serializable since SpdySession is not Serializable
Modifications:
Remove Serializable fom SpdySession.StreamComparator
Result:
StreamComparator is not Serializable any more
Motivation:
Typos in javadoc, in "combine" and "recommendations", IllegalReferenceCountException
Modification:
Rename incorrect reference, typos are modified
Result:
Reference is correct, typos are fixed
Motivation:
Creating a new MessageDigest every time is wasteful, we should store them in FastThreadLocal.
Modifications:
Change WebSocketUtil to store MD5 and SHA1 MessageDigest in FastThreadLocal and use these.
Result:
Less overhead and less GC.
Motivation:
If a uri contains whitespaces we need to ensure we correctly escape these when creating the request for the handshake.
Modifications:
- Correctly encode path for uri
- Add tests
Result:
Correctly handle whitespaces when doing websocket upgrade requests.
Motivation:
- On the client, cookies should be sorted in decreasing order of path
length. From RFC 6265:
5.4.2. The user agent SHOULD sort the cookie-list in the following
order:
* Cookies with longer paths are listed before cookies with
shorter paths.
* Among cookies that have equal-length path fields, cookies with
earlier creation-times are listed before cookies with later
creation-times.
NOTE: Not all user agents sort the cookie-list in this order, but
this order reflects common practice when this document was
written, and, historically, there have been servers that
(erroneously) depended on this order.
Note that the RFC does not define the path length of cookies without a
path. We sort pathless cookies before cookies with the longest path,
since pathless cookies inherit the request path (and setting a path
that is longer than the request path is of limited use, since it cannot
be read from the context in which it is written).
- On the server, if there are multiple cookies of the same name, only one
of them should be encoded. RFC 6265 says:
Servers SHOULD NOT include more than one Set-Cookie header field in
the same response with the same cookie-name.
Note that the RFC does not define which cookie should be set in the case
of multiple cookies with the same name; we arbitrarily pick the last one.
Modifications:
- Changed the visibility of the 'strict' field to 'protected' in
CookieEncoder.
- Modified ClientCookieEncoder to sort cookies in decreasing order of path
length when in strict mode.
- Modified ServerCookieEncoder to return only the last cookie of a given
name when in strict mode.
- Added a fast path for both strict mode in both client and server code
for cases with only one cookie, in order avoid the overhead of sorting
and memory allocation.
- Added unit tests for the new cases.
Result:
- Cookie generation on client and server is now more conformant to RFC 6265.
Keep RTSPRequestEncoder, RTSPRequestDecoder, RTSPResponseEncoder and
RTSPResponseDecoder for backwards compatibility but they now just extends
the generic encoder/decoder and are markes as deprecated.
Renamed the decoder test, because the decoder is now generic. Added
testcase for when ANNOUNCE request is received from server.
Created testcases for encoder.
Mark abstract base classes RTSPObjectEncoder and RTSPObjectDecoder as
deprecated, that functionality is now in RTSPEncoder and RTSPDecoder.
Added annotation in RtspHeaders to suppress warnings about deprecation, no need when
whole class is deprecated.
Motivation:
As toString() is often used while logging we need to ensure this produces no exception.
Modifications:
Ensure we never throw an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Result:
Be able to log without produce exceptions.
Motivation:
We should prevent to add/set DefaultHttpHeaders to itself to prevent unexpected side-effects.
Modifications:
Throw IllegalArgumentException if user tries to pass the same instance to set/add.
Result:
No surprising side-effects.
Motivation:
According to the SPDY spec https://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft3-1#TOC-3.2.1-Request header names must be lowercase. Our predefined SPDY extension headers are not lowercase.
Modifications
- SpdyHttpHeaders should define header names in lower case
Result:
Compliant with SPDY spec, and header validation code does not detect errors for our own header names.
Motivation:
As we stored the WebSocketServerHandshaker in the ChannelHandlerContext it was always null and so no close frame was send if WebSocketServerProtocolHandler was used.
Modifications:
Store WebSocketServerHAndshaker in the Channel attributes and so make it visibile between different handlers.
Result:
Correctly send close frame.
Motivation:
As all methods in the ChannelHandler are executed by the same thread there is no need to use synchronized.
Modifications:
Remove synchronized keyword.
Result:
No more unnessary synchronized in SpdySessionHandler.
Motivation:
Whe a 100 Continue response was written an IllegalStateException was produced as soon as the user wrote the following response. This regression was introduced by 41b0080fcc.
Modifications:
- Special handle 100 Continue responses
- Added unit tests
Result:
Fixed regression.
Motivation:
Hixie 76 needs special handling compared to other connection upgrade responses. Our detection code of non websocket responses did actually always use the special handling that only should be used for Hixie 76 responses.
Modifications:
Correctly detect connection upgrade responses which are not for websockets.
Result:
Be able to upgrade connections for other protocols then websockets.
Motivation:
The HTTP specification defines specific request-targets in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3. Netty does not have a way to distinguish between these differnt types, and there is currently no obvious location where these types of methods would live.
Modifications:
- Add methods to distinguish request-targets as defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3
Result:
Common utitlity methods exist to inpsect request-targets.
Motivation:
Due not using a cast we insert 32 and not a whitespace into the String.
Modifications:
Correclty cast to char.
Result:
Correct handling of whitespaces.
Motivation:
The HttpObjectAggregator always responds with a 100-continue response. It should check the Content-Length header to see if the content length is OK, and if not responds with a 417.
Modifications:
- HttpObjectAggregator checks the Content-Length header in the case of a 100-continue.
Result:
HttpObjectAggregator responds with 417 if content is known to be too big.
Motivation:
In the event an HTTP message does not include either a content-length or a transfer-encoding header [RFC 7230](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.3) states the behavior must be treated differently for requests and responses. If the channel is half closed then the HttpObjectDecoder is not invoking decodeLast and thus not checking if messages should be sent up the pipeline.
Modifications:
- Add comments to clarify regular decode default case.
- Handle the ChannelInputShutdownEvent in the HttpObjectDecoder and evaluate if messages need to be generated.
Result:
Messages are generated on half closed, and comments clarify existing logic.
Motivation:
The SPDY spec requires that all header names be lowercase (see https://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft3-1#TOC-3.2-HTTP-Request-Response). The SPDY codec header name validator does not enforce this requirement.
Modifications:
- SpdyCodecUtil.validateHeaderName should check for upper case characters and throw an error if any are found.
Result:
SPDY codec header validation enforces specification requirement.
Motivation:
The HttpObjectDecoder is on the hot code path for the http codec. There are a few hot methods which can be modified to improve performance.
Modifications:
- Modify AppendableCharSequence to provide unsafe methods which don't need to re-check bounds for every call.
- Update HttpObjectDecoder methods to take advantage of new AppendableCharSequence methods.
Result:
Peformance boost for decoding http objects.
Motivation:
WebSocketServerHandshakerFactory.sendUnsupportedVersionResponse does not
send a LastHttpContent, nor does it flush, and it doesn't send a content
length.
Modifications:
Changed sendUnsupportedVersionResponse to send FullHttpResponse, to
writeAndFlush, and to set a content length of 0. Also added a test for
this method.
Result:
Upstream handlers will be able to determine the end of the response, the
response will actually get written to the client, and the client will be
able to determine the end of the response.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we never allow to have null values set on headers, otherwise we will see a NPE during encoding them.
Modifications:
Add null check.
Result:
Correctly throw exception when a null header value is added/set
Motivation:
SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser duplicate fair amount code with each other.
Modification:
- Replace SpdyOrHttpChooser and Http2OrHttpChooser with ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler
- Add ApplicationProtocolNames to define the known application-level protocol names
- Deprecate SpdyOrHttpChooser
Result:
- Less code duplication
- A user can perform dynamic pipeline configuration that follows ALPN/NPN for any protocols.
Related: #3641 and #3813
Motivation:
When setting up an HTTP/1 or HTTP/2 (or SPDY) pipeline, a user usually
ends up with adding arbitrary set of handlers.
Http2OrHttpChooser and SpdyOrHttpChooser have two abstract methods
(create*Handler()) that expect a user to return a single handler, and
also have add*Handlers() methods that add the handler returned by
create*Handler() to the pipeline as well as the pre-defined set of
handlers.
The problem is, some users (read: I) don't need all of them or the
user wants to add more than one handler. For example, take a look at
io.netty.example.http2.tiles.Http2OrHttpHandler, which works around
this issue by overriding addHttp2Handlers() and making
createHttp2RequestHandler() a no-op.
Modifications:
- Replace add*Handlers() and create*Handler() with configure*()
- Rename getProtocol() to selectProtocol() to make what it does clear
- Provide the default implementation of selectProtocol()
- Remove SelectedProtocol.UNKNOWN and use null instead, because
'UNKNOWN' is not a protocol
- Proper exception handling in the *OrHttpChooser so that the
exception is logged and the connection is closed when failed to
select a protocol
- Make SpdyClient example always use SSL. It was always using SSL
anyway.
- Implement SslHandshakeCompletionEvent.toString() for debuggability
- Remove an orphaned class: JettyNpnSslSession
- Add SslHandler.applicationProtocol() to get the name of the
application protocol
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now returns transport-layer protocol name
only, so that it conforms to its contract.
Result:
- *OrHttpChooser have better API.
- *OrHttpChooser handle protocol selection failure properly.
- SSLSession.getProtocol() now conforms to its contract.
- SpdyClient example works with SpdyServer example out of the box
Motivation:
Found a bug in that netty would generate a 20 byte body when returing a response
to an HTTP HEAD. the 20 bytes seems to be related to the compression footer.
RFC2616, section 9.4 states that responses to an HTTP HEAD MUST not return a message
body in the response.
Netty's own client implementation expected an empty response. The extra bytes lead to a
2nd response with an error decoder result:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid version format: 14
Modifications:
Track the HTTP request method. When processing the response we determine if the response
is passthru unnchanged. This decision now takes into account the request method and passthru
responses related to HTTP HEAD requests.
Result:
Netty's http client works and better RFC conformance.
Motivation:
* Path attribute should be null, not empty String, if it's passed as "Path=".
* Only extract attribute value when the name is recognized.
* Only extract Expires attribute value String if MaxAge is undefined as it has precedence.
Modification:
Modify ClientCookieDecoder.
Add "testIgnoreEmptyPath" test in ClientCookieDecoderTest.
Result:
More idyomatic Path behavior (like Domain).
Minor performance improvement in some corner cases.
Motivations:
When using HttpPostRequestEncoder and trying to set an attribute if a
charset is defined, currenlty implicit Charset.toStrng() is used, given
wrong format.
As in Android for UTF-16 = "com.ibm.icu4jni.charset.CharsetICU[UTF-16]".
Modifications:
Each time charset is used to be printed as its name, charset.name() is
used to get the canonical name.
Result:
Now get "UTF-16" instead.
