Motivation:
Http2ServerInitializer uses a SimpleChannelHandler in an attempt to ease putting an HttpObjectAggregator in the pipeline when no upgrade is attempted. However the message is double released because it is fired up the pipeline (which will be released) and also released by SimpleChannelHandler in a finally block.
Modifications:
- Retain the message if we fire it up the pipeline
Result:
HTTP/2 examples don't encounter a reference count error if no upgrade was attempted.
Motivation:
Since netty shaded JCTools the OSGi manifest no longer is correct. It claims to
have an optional import "org.jctools.queues;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.qu
eues.atomic;resolution:=optional,org.jctools.util;resolution:=optional"
However since it is shaded, this is no longer true.
This was noticed when making JCTools a real bundle and netty resolved it as
optional import.
Modifications:
Modify the generated manifest by no longer analyzing org.jctools for imports.
A manual setting of sun.misc as optional was required.
Result:
Netty OSGi bundle will no longer interfere with a JCTools bundle.
Motivation:
As we use compression in the websocketx example we need to allow extensions as ohterwise the example not works.
Modifications:
Allow extensions.
Result:
websocketx example does work.
Motivation:
The HTTP Static File Server seems to ignore filenames that doesn't contains only latin characters, but these days people wish to serve files in other languages, or even include some emojis in the filename. Although these files are not displayed on the directory listing, they are accessible by HTTP requests. This fix will make such files more visible.
Modifications:
I've changed the ALLOWED_FILE_NAME pattern to disallow only files that starts with underline, minus or a dot (such as .htaccess), and hide other "unsafe" filenames that may be used to trigger some security issues. Other filenames, including the space character are allowed.
I've also added charset encoding to the directory listing, because the browser default MAY be configured for ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8.
Result:
Directory listing will work for files that contains the space character, as well as other Unicode characters.
Motivation:
When Netty HTTP Static File Server does directory listing, it does expose the user.dir environment variable to the user. Although it doesn't a security issue, it is a bad practice to show it, and the user does expect to see the server virtual root instead, which is the absolute path as mentioned in the RFC.
Modifications:
the sendListing method receives a third argument, which is the requested URI, and this is what should be displayed on the page instead of the filesystem path.
Result:
The directory listing pages will show the virtual path as described in the URI and not the real filesystem path.
Removed fallback method
Motivation:
Socks5 proxy supports resolve domain at the server side. When testing
with curl, the SocksServer in example package only works for proxy
request with IP, not with domain name (`--socks5` vs
`--socks5-hostname`). As curl is widely used, it should work with
the example provided.
Modifications:
Passing address and port to the Socks5CommandResponse, so that it
works for curl.
Result:
`curl --socks5-hostname` works as expected.
Motivation:
We not need to mark the field as volatile and so this may confuse people.
Modifications:
Remove volatile and add comment to explain why its not needed.
Result:
More correct example.
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:
It seems like intellij / idea is confused because of shading of jctools.
Modifications:
Add jctools as dependency with scope runtime to the examples as workaround
Result:
Its possible again to run the examples in the ide.

Motivation:
slice(), duplicate() and readSlice() currently create a non-recyclable
derived buffer instance. Under heavy load, an application that creates a
lot of derived buffers can put the garbage collector under pressure.
Modifications:
- Add the following methods which creates a non-recyclable derived buffer
- retainedSlice()
- retainedDuplicate()
- readRetainedSlice()
- Add the new recyclable derived buffer implementations, which has its
own reference count value
- Add ByteBufHolder.retainedDuplicate()
- Add ByteBufHolder.replace(ByteBuf) so that..
- a user can replace the content of the holder in a consistent way
- copy/duplicate/retainedDuplicate() can delegate the holder
construction to replace(ByteBuf)
- Use retainedDuplicate() and retainedSlice() wherever possible
- Miscellaneous:
- Rename DuplicateByteBufTest to DuplicatedByteBufTest (missing 'D')
- Make ReplayingDecoderByteBuf.reject() return an exception instead of
throwing it so that its callers don't need to add dummy return
statement
Result:
Derived buffers are now recycled when created via retainedSlice() and
retainedDuplicate() and derived from a pooled buffer
Motivation:
Currently the way a 'null' origin, a request that most often indicated
that the request is coming from a file on the local file system, is
handled is incorrect. We are currently returning a wildcard origin '*'
but should be returning 'null' for the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'
which is valid according to the specification [1].
Modifications:
Updated CorsHandler to add a 'null' origin instead of the '*' origin in
the case the request origin is 'null.
Result:
All test pass and the CORS example as does the cors.html example if you
try to serve it by opening the file directly in a web browser.

Motivation:
- Add an example Redis client using codec-redis.
Modifications:
- Add an example Redis client that reads input from STDIN and writes output to STDOUT.
Result:
- Added an example Redis client using codec-redis.
Motivation:
We lately added ByteBuf.isReadOnly() which allows to detect if a buffer is read-only or not. We should add ByteBuf.asReadOnly() to allow easily access a read-only version of a buffer.
Modifications:
- Add ByteBuf.asReadOnly()
- Deprecate Unpooled.unmodifiableBuffer(Bytebuf)
Result:
More consistent api.
Motivation:
People need to set all length fields manually when creating a memcache message and it's error prone. See #2736 for more dicussion.
Modifications:
This patch adds the logic to update the keyLength, extrasLength and totalBodyLength when key, extras or content is set.
Result:
The length fields of memcache messages will be updated automatically.
Motivation:
This allows using handlers for Streams in normal Netty-style. Frames are
read/written to the channel as messages, not directly as a
callback/method call. Handlers allow mixing and can ease HTTP/1 and
HTTP/2 interoperability by eventually supporting HTTP/1 handlers in
HTTP/2 and vise versa.
Modifications:
New handler Http2MultiplexCodec that converts from the current HTTP/2
API to a message-based API and child channels for streams.
Result:
The basics are done for server-side: new streams trigger creation of new
channels in much the same appearance to how new connections trigger new
channel creation. The basic frames HEADERS and DATA are handled, but
also GOAWAY and RST_STREAM.
Inbound flow control is implemented, but outbound is not. That will be
done later, along with not completing write promises on the child
channel until the write actually completes on the parent.
There is not yet support for outbound priority/weight, push promises,
and many other features.
There is a generic Object that may be set on stream frames. This also
paves the way for client-side support which needs a way to refer to
yet-to-be-created streams (due to how HEADERS allocates a stream id, and
the allocation order must be the same as transmission order).
Motivation:
It will be easier to support websockets in server application by using WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler class and not reinvent its functionality. But currently it handles all http requests as if they were websocket handshake requests.
Modifications:
Check if http request path is equals to adjusted websocket path.
Fixed example of websocket server implementation.
Result:
WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler handles only websocket handshake requests.
Motivation:
The key can be ByteBuf to avoid converting between ByteBuf and String. See #3689.
Modifications:
Replace the type of key with ByteBuf.
Result:
The type of key becomes ByteBuf.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
WebSocketClientCompressionHandler is stateless so it should be @Sharable.
Modifications:
Add @Sharable annotation to WebSocketClientCompressionHandler, make constructor private and add static field to get the instance.
Result:
Less object creation.
Motivation:
Boxing/unboxing can be avoided.
Modifications:
Use parseInt/parseLong to avoid unnecessary boxing/unboxing.
Result:
Remove unnecessary boxing/unboxing.
Motivation:
We had to add a new profile for each OpenJDK/OracleJDK release to make
Maven choose the correct alpn-boot.jar and npn-boot.jar. As a result,
our pom.xml has a large number of `<profile/>` sections.
Modifications:
- Use jetty-alpn-agent, which chooses the correct alpn-boot.jar and
npn-boot.jar automatically to remove all the nasty profile sections
from pom.xml
- Visit https://github.com/trustin/jetty-alpn-agent for more info
Result:
Cleaner pom.xml
Motivation:
Warnings in IDE, unclean code, negligible performance impact.
Modification:
Deletion of unused imports
Result:
No more warnings in IDE, cleaner code, negligible performance improvement.
