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: Today when Netty encounters a general error while decoding
it treats this as a decoder exception. However, for fatal causes this
should not be treated as such, instead the fatal error should be carried
up the stack without the callee having to unwind causes. This was
probably done for byte to byte message decoder but is now done for all
decoders.
Modifications: Instead of translating any error to a decoder exception,
we let those unwind out the stack (note that finally blocks still
execute) except in places where an event needs to fire where we fire
with the error instead of wrapping in a decoder exception.
Result: Fatal errors will not be treated as innocent decoder exceptions.
Motivation:
The current PROXY protocol implementation does not have support for optional Type-Length-Value fields. This pull requests adds the TLV values as specified in the PROXY protocol specification (http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt) and adds support for arbitrary TLVs.
Modifications:
The existing HAProxyMessage implements an additional TLV reading operation. A small bug in the AF_UNIX reader which didn’t set the reader index correctly was also fixed.
Result:
The PROXY protocol supports TLVs
Motivation:
When using the AF_UNIX PROXY protocol, the reader index was not set correctly after consuming the message bytes of the original header ByteBuf. This caused no immediate harm because after the codepath there is no consumer of the ByteBuf in the current implementation. It’s a bug nevertheless, because consumers of the ByteBuf for extensions (like TLVs, which are allowed by the PROXY protocol spec) would consume a ByteBuf that has a wrong readerIndex when using AF_UNIX instead of e.g. IPv4 (which has correct behaviour)
Modifications:
Increase the reader index of the ByteBuf after it was read
Result:
Correct and consistent behaviour of the AF_UNIX codepath
Motivation:
Sometimes it is useful to detect if a ByteBuf contains a HAProxy header, for example if you want to write something like the PortUnification example.
Modifications:
- Add ProtocolDetectionResult which can be used as a return type for detecting different protocol.
- Add new method which allows to detect HA Proxy messages.
Result:
Easier to detect protocol.
Motivation:
The usage and code within AsciiString has exceeded the original design scope for this class. Its usage as a binary string is confusing and on the verge of violating interface assumptions in some spots.
Modifications:
- ByteString will be created as a base class to AsciiString. All of the generic byte handling processing will live in ByteString and all the special character encoding will live in AsciiString.
Results:
The AsciiString interface will be clarified. Users of AsciiString can now be clear of the limitations the class imposes while users of the ByteString class don't have to live with those limitations.
Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check HAProxyProxiedProtocol in HAProxyMessage constructor and throw NPE if it is null.
If HAProxyProxiedProtocol is null we will set AddressFamily as null. So we will get NPE inside checkAddress(String, AddressFamily) and it won't be easy to understand why addrFamily is null.
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
If !mqttConnectVariableHeader.isWillFlag() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasUserName() || !mqttConnectVariableHeader.hasPassword() we will get NPE when we will try to create new instance of MqttConnectPayload.
- Check Unsafe before calling unsafe.getClass() in PlatformDependent0 static block.
- Removed unnecessary null check in WebSocket08FrameEncoder.encode(...).
Because msg.content() can not return null.
- Removed unnecessary null check in DefaultStompFrame(StompCommand) constructor.
Because we have this check in the super class.
- Removed unnecessary null checks in ConcurrentHashMapV8.removeTreeNode(TreeNode<K,V>).
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioDatagramChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because tmpPacket.getSocketAddress() always returns new SocketAddress instance.
- Removed unnecessary null check in OioServerSocketChannel.doReadMessages(List<Object>).
Because socket.accept() always returns new Socket instance.
- Pass Unpooled.buffer(0) instead of null inside CloseWebSocketFrame(boolean, int) constructor.
If we will pass null we will get NPE in super class constructor.
- Added throw new IllegalStateException in GlobalEventExecutor.awaitInactivity(long, TimeUnit) if it will be called before GlobalEventExecutor.execute(Runnable).
Because now we will get NPE. IllegalStateException will be better in this case.
- Fixed null check in OpenSslServerContext.setTicketKeys(byte[]).
Now we throw new NPE if byte[] is not null.
Result:
Added new null checks when it is necessary, removed unnecessary null checks and fixed some NPE problems.
- Convert constant classes to enum
- Rename HAProxyProtocolMessage to HAProxyMessage for simpilicity
- Rename HAProxyProtocolDecoder to HAProxyMessageDecoder
- Rename HAProxyProtocolCommand to HAProxyCommand
- Merge ProxiedProtocolAndFamity, ProxiedAddressFamily, and
ProxiedTransportProtocol into HAProxiProxiedProtocol and its inner
enums
- Overall clean-up
