Motivation:
We need to update to a new checkstyle plugin to allow the usage of lambdas.
Modifications:
- Update to new plugin version.
- Fix checkstyle problems.
Result:
Be able to use checkstyle plugin which supports new Java syntax.
Motivation:
Most of the maven modules do not explicitly declare their
dependencies and rely on transitivity, which is not always correct.
Modifications:
For all maven modules, add all of their dependencies to pom.xml
Result:
All of the (essentially non-transitive) depepdencies of the modules are explicitly declared in pom.xml
Motivation:
ProxyHandlerTest package uses deprecated methods SslContext.newServerContext and
SslContext.newClientContext.
Modifications:
SslContextBuilder is used to build server and client SslContext.
Result:
Less deprecated method in the code.
Motivation:
`ProxyHandlerTest` relies on random values to run tests: first to
shuffle collection of test items and lately to set configuration
flag for `AUTO_READ`. While the purpose of randomization is clear,
it's still impossible to reproduce the same sequence of test cases
when something went wrong. For `AUTO_READ` it's even impossible
to tell what flag was set when the particular test failed.
Modifications:
* Test runner now log seed values that was used for shuffling,
so you can take one and put in your tests to "freeze" them
while debugging (pretty common approach with randomized tests)
* `SuccessItemTest` is split into 2 different use cases:
for AUTO_READ flag set to "on" and "off"
Result:
You can reproduce specific tests results now.
Motivation:
HttpProxyHandler uses `NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` to compute
CONNECT url and Host header.
The url is correct when the address is unresolved, as
`NetUtil#toSocketAddressString` will then use
`getHoststring`/`getHostname`. If the address is already resolved, the
url will be based on the IP instead of the hostname.
There’s an additional minor issue with the Host header: default port
443 should be omitted.
Modifications:
* Introduce NetUtil#getHostname
* Introduce HttpUtil#formatHostnameForHttp to format an
InetSocketAddress to
HTTP format
* Change url computation to favor hostname instead of IP
* Introduce HttpProxyHandler ignoreDefaultPortsInConnectHostHeader
parameter to ignore 80 and 443 ports in Host header
Result:
HttpProxyHandler performs properly when connecting to a resolved address
Automatic-Module-Name entry provides a stable JDK9 module name, when Netty is used in a modular JDK9 applications. More info: http://blog.joda.org/2017/05/java-se-9-jpms-automatic-modules.html
When Netty migrates to JDK9 in the future, the entry can be replaced by actual module-info descriptor.
Modification:
The POM-s are configured to put the correct module names to the manifest.
Result:
Fixes#7218.
Motivation:
In some environments, the HTTP CONNECT handshake requires special headers to work.
Modification:
Update HttpProxyHandler to accept a HttpHeaders argument.
Result:
The header is passed along in the HTTP CONNECT request, and the proxy request can be successfully completed.
Motivation:
We need to notify the promise after the codecs are removed to allow writing from the listener and ensure we not try to do any encoding anymore. If we not do we will end up with corrupt data.
Modifications:
Notify promise after codecs are removed.
Result:
Fixes [#6671].
Motivation:
We missed some stuff in 5728e0eb2c and so the build failed on java9
Modifications:
- Add extra cmdline args when needed
- skip the autobahntestsuite as jython not works with java9
- skip the osgi testsuite as the maven plugin not works with java9
Result:
Build finally passed on java9
Motivation:
We used various mocking frameworks. We should only use one...
Modifications:
Make usage of mocking framework consistent by only using Mockito.
Result:
Less dependencies and more consistent mocking usage.
Motivation:
Currently Netty does not wrap socket connect, bind, or accept
operations in doPrivileged blocks. Nor does it wrap cases where a dns
lookup might happen.
This prevents an application utilizing the SecurityManager from
isolating SocketPermissions to Netty.
Modifications:
I have introduced a class (SocketUtils) that wraps operations
requiring SocketPermissions in doPrivileged blocks.
Result:
A user of Netty can grant SocketPermissions explicitly to the Netty
jar, without granting it to the rest of their application.
Motivation:
The HttpProxyHandler is expected to be capable of issuing a valid CONNECT request for a tunneled connection to an IPv6 host.
Modifications:
- Correctly format the IPV6 address.
- Add unit tests
Result:
HttpProxyHandler works with IPV6 as well. Fixes [#6152].
Motivation:
When auto-read is disabled and no reads are issued by a user, ProxyHandler will stall the connection on the proxy handshake phase waiting for the first response from a server (that was never read).
Modifications:
Read if needed when very first handshake message is send by ProxyHandler.
Result:
Proxy handshake now succeeds no matter if auto-read disabled or enabled. Without the fix, the new test is failing on master.
Motivation:
The current implementation does not comply with RFC2817 on two points:
- The HTTP version required to support the CONNECT method is 1.1,
but the current implementation specifies 1.0.
- The HOST header should hold the name or address of the Target Host,
but the current implementation uses the proxy address instead.
Modifications:
- Specify HTTP version 1.1,
- The HOST header is now set using the Target Host's name (or address,
if it is resolved).
Result:
The CONNECT request is RFC2817-compliant.
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
