Motivation:
At the moment we only forward decoded messages that were added the out List once the full decode loop was completed. This has the affect that resources may not be released as fast as possible and as an application may incounter higher latency if the user triggeres a writeAndFlush(...) as a result of the decoded messages.
Modifications:
- forward decoded messages after each decode call
Result:
Forwarding decoded messages through the pipeline in a more eager fashion.
Motivation:
Often unwrap(...), wrap(...) is used with a single ByteBuffer and not with a ByteBuffer[]. We should reduce the array creations in this case.
Modifications:
Reuse ByteBuffer[1] for dst/src ByteBuffer.
Result:
Less object creation and so less GC
Motivation:
We missed to run all pending tasks when EmbeddedChannel.close(...) or disconnect(...) was called. Because of this channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) of the handlers were never called.
Modifications:
Correctly run all pending tasks and cancel all not ready scheduled tasks when close or disconnect was called.
Result:
Correctly run tasks on close / disconnect and have channelInactive(...) / channelUnregistered(...) called.
Motivation:
We had an unused paramter on a method, we should just remove it to keep code clean.
Modifications:
- Remove parameter
- Fix typo in javadoc
Result:
Cleanup done.
Motivation:
If a RDHUP and IN event occurred at the same time it is possible we may not read all pending data on the channel. We should ensure we read data before processing the RDHUP event.
Modifications:
- Process the RDHUP event before the IN event.
Result:
Data will not be dropped.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4317
Motivation:
EPOLL attempts to support half closed socket, but fails to call shutdown to close the read portion of the file descriptor.
Motivation:
- If half closed is supported shutting down the input should call underlying Native.shutdown(...) to make sure the peer is notified of the half closed state.
Result:
EPOLL half closed is more correct.
Motivation:
As a SSL session may be created later at some time we should compute the creation time in a lazy fashion.
Modifications:
- Lazy compute creation time
- Add some unit test
Result:
More correct behavior
Motivation:
ByteBufUtilTest.notEqualsBufferSubsections is testing non-equality but just uses random numbers to assume they will not be equal. Even after the random bytes are generated we should check they are infact not equal so the test has no chance of failing when it should not.
Modifications:
- Loop through bytes in notEqualsBufferSubsections after they are randomly generated to ensure there is atleast 1 difference.
Result:
More reliable unit tests.
Motivation:
When dealing with case insensitive headers it can be useful to have a case insensitive contains method for CharSequence.
Modifications:
- Add containsCaseInsensative to AsciiString
Result:
More expressive utility method for case insensitive CharSequence.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2ConnectionDecoder writes a ACK when receiving a ping frame and sends the same data buffer it received. The data buffer is also passed to the listener, but the indexes are shared between the send and the listener. We should ensure the indexes are independent for these two operations.
Modifications:
- Call slice on the buffer that is being sent
Result:
Listener now has access to a buffer that will not appear to be already consumed.
Motivation:
JDK SslEngine supports renegotion, so we should at least support it server-side with OpenSslEngine as well.
That said OpenSsl does not support sending messages asynchronly while the renegotiation is still in progress, so the application need to ensure there are not writes going on while the renegotiation takes place. See also https://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=1019 .
Modifications:
- Add support for renegotiation when OpenSslEngine is used in server mode
- Add unit tests.
- Upgrade to netty-tcnative 1.1.33.Fork9
Result:
Better compatibility with the JDK SSLEngine implementation.
Motivation:
Using the builder pattern for Http2ConnectionHandler (and subclasses) would be advantageous for the following reasons:
1. Provides the consistent construction afforded by the builder pattern for 'optional' arguments. Users can specify these options 1 time in the builder and then re-use the builder after this.
2. Enforces that the Http2ConnectionHandler's internals (decoder Http2FrameListener) are initialized after construction.
Modifications:
- Add an extensible builder which can be used to build Http2ConnectionHandler objects
- Update classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler
Result:
It is easier to specify options and construct Http2ConnectionHandler objects.
Motivation:
We missed to correctly update the internal handshake state on beginHandshake() if we was able to finish the handshake directly. Also we not handled the case correctly when beginHandshake() was called after the first handshake was finished, which incorrectly throw an Error.
Modifications:
- Correctly set internal handshake state in all cases
- Correctly handle beginHandshake() once first handshake was finished.
Result:
Correctly handle OpenSslEngine.beginHandshake()
Motivation:
It is often the case that implementations of Http2FrameListener will want to send responses when data is read. The Http2FrameListener needs access to the Http2ConnectionHandler (or the encoder contained within) to be able to send responses. However the Http2ConnectionHandler requires a Http2FrameListener instance to be passed in during construction time. This creates a cyclic dependency which can make it difficult to cleanly accomplish this relationship.
Modifications:
- Add Http2ConnectionDecoder.frameListener(..) method to set the frame listener. This will allow the listener to be set after construction.
Result:
Classes which inherit from Http2ConnectionHandler can more cleanly set the Http2FrameListener.
Motivation:
We should fail the build on warnings in the JNI/c code.
Modifications:
- Add GCC flag to fail build on warnings.
- Fix warnings (which also fixed a bug when using splice with offsets).
Result:
Better code quality.
Motivation:
A new version of netty-tcnative was released with some important bug-fixes.
Modifications:
Bump up version.
Result:
Using latest netty-tcnative version
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:
The STOMP decoder used to fail when parsing a frame with no content-length
and a body split across multiple packets.
Modifications:
Support contentLength of -1 (indicating indeterminate length) and added a
check to getContentLength. Moved the NUL byte searching from the
readHeaders() method out to the main decoder loop.
Result:
A STOMP frame can be properly parsed even if it's missing the
content-length header and the NUL byte is in a later packet.
Motivation:
If a remote peer writes fast enough it may take a long time to have fireChannelReadComplete(...) triggered. Because of this we need to take special care and ensure we try to discard some bytes if channelRead(...) is called to often in ByteToMessageDecoder.
Modifications:
- Add ByteToMessageDecoder.setDiscardAfterReads(...) which allows to set the number of reads after which we try to discard the read bytes
- Use default value of 16 for max reads.
Result:
No risk of OOME.
Motivation:
For implementations that want to manage flow control down to the stream level it is useful to be notified when stream writability changes.
Modifications:
- Add writabilityChanged to Http2RemoteFlowController.Listener
- Add isWritable to Http2RemoteFlowController
Result:
The Http2RemoteFlowController provides notification when writability of a stream changes.
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController has become very large and is getting difficult to understand and maintain. It is also desirable for some applications to be able to disable the priority algorithm altogether for performance reasons.
Modifications:
Abstract the stream byte assignment logic (renamed allocation->assignment for clarity) behind an interface `StreamByteAssigner` with a single implementation `PriorityStreamByteAssigner`.
Result:
Goes some way towards supporting #4246
Motivation:
We should provide a better way to set session keys that not use the deprecated method of netty-tcnative.
Modifications:
- Add OpenSslSessionTicketKey
- Expose new method on OpenSslServerContext and deprecate the old method.
Result:
Easier to use and can remove the deprecated method later on.
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController's allocation algorithm may not allocate all bytes that are available in the connection window. If the 'fair share' based upon weight is not fully used by sibling nodes it was not correctly re-distributed to other sibilings which may be able to utilize part / all of that share.
Modifications:
- Add a unit test which demonstrates the issue.
- Modify the allocation algorithm to ensure all available bytes are allocated.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4266
Motivation:
We should call shutdown(...) on the socket before closing the filedescriptor to ensure it is closed gracefully.
Modifications:
Call shutdown(...) before close.
Result:
Sockets are gracefully shutdown when using native transport.
Motivation:
We need to ensure all markers are reset when doing an allocation via the PooledByteBufAllocator. This was not the always the case.
Modifications:
Move all logic that needs to get executed when reuse a PooledByteBuf into one place and call it.
Result:
Correct behavior
Motivation:
Some DNS servers in DnsNameResolverTest are outdated and some of them
returns NoError for non-existent domains.
Modifications:
- Update the DNS server list from http://meo.ws/dnsrec.php again
- Update the web-scraper script
Result:
DnsNameResolverTest.testNegativeTtl() should not fail anymore.
Motivation:
PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4257 introduced paramters and didn't use them.
Modifications:
- Use the new paramters
Result:
No warnings and correct behavior
Motivation:
OpenSslEngine.unwrap(...) / wrap(...) must return HandhsakeStatus.FINISHED if an unwrap or wrap finishes a handshake to behave like descripted in the SSLEngine docs.
Modifications:
- Ensure we return HandshakeStatus.FINISHED
Result:
Behave correctly.
Motivation:
On ubuntu, InetAddress.getLocalHost() will return 127.0.1.1 this causes some tests to fail.
NetUtil.LOCALHOST4 is more portable.
Modifications:
Made changes in EpollSocketTcpMd5Test to make test passing on ubuntu.
Result:
EpollSocketTcpMd5Test now also passes on ubuntu.
Motiviation:
The http2 spec https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.3 states that the :authority header should be copied into the HOST header when converting from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.x. We currently have an extension header to preserve the authority.
Modifications:
- Remove AUTHORITY extension header
- HTTP/2 :authority should map to HOST header when converting to HTTP/1.x.
Result:
More spec compliant.
Motivation:
Users may want to control the valid dates for SelfSignedCertificate.
Modifications:
- Allow NOT_BEFORE and NOT_AFTER to be controlled via java system properties.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3978
Motivation:
Buffer leak in StreamBufferingEncoderTest
Modifications:
- Make sure buffers are released in StreamBufferingEncoderTest
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4230
Motivation:
Http2LifecycleManager.onException takes a Throwable as a paramter and not an Exception. There are also onConnectionError and onStreamError methods in the codec. We should rename this method to onError for consistency and clarity.
Modifications:
- Rename Http2LifecycleManager.onException to Http2LifecycleManager.onError
Result:
More consistent and clarified interface.
Motivation:
The HashingStrategy for DefaultStompHeaders was using the java .equals() method which would fail to compare String, AsciiString, and other CharSequence objects as equal.
Modification:
- Use AsciiString.CASE_SENSITIVE_HASHER for DefaultStompHeaders
Result:
DefaultStompHeaders work with all CharSequence objects.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4247
Motivation:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController attempts to write as many bytes as possible to transition the channel to not writable, and then relies on notification of channelWritabilityChange to continue writing. However the amount of bytes written by DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController may not be the same number of bytes that is actually written to the channel due to other ChannelHandlers (SslHandler, compression, etc...) in the pipeline. This means there is a potential for the DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController to be waiting for a channel writaiblity change event that will never come, and thus not write all queued data.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController should write pending bytes until there are no more, or until the channel is not writable.
Result:
DefaultHttp2RemoteFlowController will write all pending data.
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/4242
Motivation:
The last os-maven-plugin had a bug that sometimes missed to correctly detect fedora based linux.
Modifications:
Upgrade to 1.4.1
Result:
Correctly detect on all fedora based linux.
Motivation:
RC4 is not supported by default in more recent java versions as RC4 is considered insecure. We should not use it in tests as these test will fail on more recent java version.
Modifications:
Use SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA for test.
Result:
Non failing test on more recent java versions.
Motivation:
We currently set the flow controller ChannelHandlerContexts to null when the channel becomes inactive. This is bad :)
Modifications:
Just remove that code in Http2ConnectionHandler
Result:
Fixes#4240
Motivation:
HttpConversionUtil.toHttp2Headers does not convert urlencoded uri to http2 path properly.
Modifications:
Use getRawPath(), getRawQuery(), getRawFragment() in java.net.URI when converts to http2 path
Result:
HttpConversionUtil.toHttp2Headers does not urldecode uri unproperly.
Motivation:
To simplify the use of client auth, we need to add it to the SslContextBuilder.
Modifications:
Added a ClientAuth enum and plumbed it through the builder, down into the contexts/engines.
Result:
Client auth can be configured when building an SslContext.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
Http2CodecUtils has some static variables which are defined as Strings instead of CharSequence. One of these defines is used as a header name and should be AsciiString.
Modifications:
- Change the String defines in Http2CodecUtils to CharSequence
Result:
Types are more consistently using CharSequence and adding the upgrade header will require less work.
Motivation:
The DefaultHttp2Headers code is throwing a IllegalArgumentException if an invalid character is detected. This is being ignored by the HTTP/2 codec instead of generating a GOAWAY.
Modifications:
- Throw a Http2Exception of type PROTOCOL_ERROR in accordance with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.6
- Update examples which were building invalid headers
Result:
More compliant with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-8.1.2.6
Motiviation:
We need to ensure the actual close to the transport takes place before the promsie of the write is notified that triggered it. This is needed as otherwise Channel.isActive(), isOpen() and isWritable() may return true even if the Channel should be closed already.
Modifications:
- Ensure the close takes place first
Result:
ChannelFutureListener will see the correct state of the Channel.
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:
The HTTP/2 spec states that the ping frame length must be 8 and is otherwise an error https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.7. The DefaultHttp2FrameReader enforces this, but the DefaultHttp2FrameWriter allows invalid frames to be written. We should not allow invalid ping frames to be written to the network.
Modifications:
- DefaultHttp2FrameWriter checks the frame size to be 8, or throws an exception
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3721
