Motivation:
Now Netty has a few problems with null values.
Modifications:
- Check File in DiskFileUpload.toString().
If File is null we will get NPE when calling toString() method.
- Check Result<String> in MqttDecoder.decodeConnectionPayload(...).
- 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 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.
Modifications:
- Added a static modifier for CompositeByteBuf.Component.
This class is an inner class, but does not use its embedded reference to the object which created it. This reference makes the instances of the class larger, and may keep the reference to the creator object alive longer than necessary.
A boxed primitive is created from a String, just to extract the unboxed primitive value.
- Removed unnecessary checks if file exists before call mkdirs() in NativeLibraryLoader and PlatformDependent.
Because the method mkdirs() has this check inside.

codec-stomp/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/stomp/StompSubframeDecoder.java
Motivation:
When we receive an incomplete WebSocketFrame we need to make sure to wait for more data. Because we not did this we could produce a NPE.
Modification:
Make sure we not try to add null into the RecyclableArrayList
Result:
no more NPE on incomplete frames.
Motivation:
Currently we do 4 ByteBuf.writeBytes(...) calls per header line. This is can be improved.
Modification:
Introduce two new HttpHeaders methods to allow create HttpHeaderEntity which contains the separator. With this we can minimize it to 2 ByteBuf.writeBytes(...) calls per header line
Result:
Performance improvement.
Motivation:
HTTP header validation can be expensive so we should allow to disable it like we do in HttpObjectDecoder.
Modification:
Add constructor argument to disable validation.
Result:
Performance improvement
Motivation:
HttpObjectAggregator currently creates a new FullHttpResponse / FullHttpRequest for each message it needs to aggregate. While doing so it also creates 2 DefaultHttpHeader instances (one for the headers and one for the trailing headers). This is bad for two reasons:
- More objects are created then needed and also populate the headers is not for free
- Headers may get validated even if the validation was disabled in the decoder
Modification:
- Wrap the previous created HttpResponse / HttpRequest and so reuse the original HttpHeaders
- Reuse the previous created trailing HttpHeader.
- Fix a bug where the trailing HttpHeader was incorrectly mixed in the headers.
Result:
- Less GC
- Faster HttpObjectAggregator implementation
Motivation:
HttpOrSpdyChooser can be simplified so the user not need to implement getProtocol(...) method.
Modification:
Add implementation for the method. The user can override it if necessary.
Result:
Easier usage of HttpOrSpdyChooser.
Motivation:
DecodeResult is dropped when aggregate HTTP messages.
Modification:
Make sure we not drop the DecodeResult while aggregate HTTP messages.
Result:
Correctly include the DecodeResult for later processing.
Revert the removal of 'get' prefix from HTTP classes to ensure ABI
compatibility. Note that this commit does not revert the changes in
SPDY, which is considered experimental.
Motivation:
Due to integer overflow bug, writes of FileRegions to http server pipeline (eg like one from HttpStaticFileServer example) with length greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE are ignored in 1/2 of cases (ie no data gets sent to client)
Modification:
Correctly handle chunk sized > Integer.MAX_VALUE
Result:
Be able to use FileRegion > Integer.MAX_VALUE when using chunked encoding.
Motivation:
Persuit for the consistency in method naming
Modifications:
- Remove the 'get' prefix from all HTTP/SPDY message classes
- Fix some inspector warnings
Result:
Consistency
Fixes#2594
Motivation:
When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.
FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.
Modifications:
- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9
Result:
- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
performance of FastThreadLocal even more.
Motivation:
Allow to make use of our new FastThreadLocal whereever possible
Modification:
Make use of an array to store FastThreadLocals and so allow to also use it in PooledByteBufAllocator that is instanced by users.
The maximal size of the array is configurable per system property to allow to tune it if needed. As default we use 64 entries which should be good enough.
Result:
More flexible usage of FastThreadLocal
Motivation:
According to RFC2616 section 19, boundary string could be quoted, but
currently the PostRequestDecoder does not support it while it should.
Modifications:
Once the boundary is found, one check is made to verify if the boundary
is "quoted", and if so, it is "unqoted".
Note: in following usage of this boundary (as delimiter), quote seems no
more allowed according to the same RFC, so the reason that only the
boundary definition is corrected.
Result:
Now the boundary could be whatever quoted or not. A Junit test case
checks it.
Motivation:
When an attribute is ending with an odd number of CR (0x0D), the decoder
add an extra CR in the decoded attribute and should not.
Modifications:
Each time a CR is detected, the next byte was tested to be LF or not. If
not, in a number of places, the CR byte was lost while it should not be.
When a CR is detected, if the next byte is not LF, the CR byte should be
saved as the position point to the next byte (not LF). When a CR is
detected, if there is not yet other available bytes, the position is
reset to the position of CR (since a LF could follow).
A new Junit test case is added, using DECODER and variable number of CR
in the final attribute (testMultipartCodecWithCRasEndOfAttribute).
Result:
The attribute is now correctly decoded with the right number of CR
ending bytes.
Motivation:
CORS request are currently processed, and potentially failed, after the
target ChannelHandler(s) have been invoked. This might not be desired, for
example a HTTP PUT or POST might have been performed.
Modifications:
Added a shortCurcuit option to CorsConfig which when set will
cause a validation of the HTTP request's 'Origin' header and verify that
it is valid according to the configuration. If found invalid an 403
"Forbidden" response will be returned and not further processing will
take place.
This is indeed no help for non browser request, like using curl, which
can set the 'Origin' header.
Result:
Users can now configure if the 'Origin' header should be validated
upfront and have the request rejected before any further processing
takes place.
Motivation:
Because of not correctly release a buffer before null out the reference a memory leak shows up.
Modifications:
Correct call buffer.release() before null out reference.
Result:
No more leak
Motivation:
Currently there's no way to configure maxFramePayloadSize from
WebSocketServerProtocolHandler, which is the most used entry point of
WebSocket server.
Modifications:
Added another constructor for maxFramePayloadSize.
Result:
We can configure max frame size for websocket packet in
WebSocketServerProtocolHandler. It will also keep backward compatibility
with default max size: 65536. (65536 is hard-coded max size in previous
version of Netty)
Motivation:
Before we aggregated the full text in the WebSocket08FrameDecoder just to fill in the ContinuationWebSocketFrame.aggregatedText(). The problem was that there was no upper-limit and so it would be possible to see an OOME if the remote peer sends a TextWebSocketFrame + a never ending stream of ContinuationWebSocketFrames. Furthermore the aggregation does not really belong in the WebSocket08FrameDecoder, as we provide an extra ChannelHandler for this anyway (WebSocketFrameAggregator).
Modification:
Remove the ContinuationWebSocketFrame.aggregatedText() method and corresponding constructor. Also refactored WebSocket08FrameDecoder a bit to me more efficient which is now possible as we not need to aggregate here.
Result:
No more risk of OOME because of frames.
Motivation:
When CORS has been configured to allow "*" origin, and at the same time
is allowing credentials/cookies, this causes an error from the browser
because when the response 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header
is true, the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' must be an actual origin.
Modifications:
Changed CorsHandler setOrigin method to check for the combination of "*"
origin and allowCredentials, and if the check matches echo the CORS
request's 'Origin' value.
Result:
This addition enables the echoing of the request 'Origin' value as the
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' value when the server has been configured
to allow any origin in combination with allowCredentials.
This allows client requests to succeed when expecting the server to
be able to handle "*" origin and at the same time be able to send cookies
by setting 'xhr.withCredentials=true'. A concrete example of this is
the SockJS protocol which expects behaviour.
Motivation:
Make it more clear what the output of HttpObjectAggregator is and that it need to come after the encoder in the pipeline.
Modifications:
Change javadocs to make things more clear.
Result:
Better docs
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during running SpdyFrameDecoderTest
Modifications:
Make sure the produced buffers of SpdyFrameDecoder and SpdyFrameDecoderTest are released
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during running SpdyFrameDecoderTest
Modifications:
Make sure the produced buffer of SpdyFrameDecoder is released
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
Motivation:
Fix leaks reported during SPDY test.
Modifications:
Use ReferenceCountUtil.releaseLater(...) to make sure everything is released once the tests are done.
Result:
No more leak reports during run the tests.
Motivation:
Currently, the SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is based upon
the ChannelHandler abstraction. This requires maintaining multiple
versions for 3.x and 4.x (and possibly 5.x moving forward).
Modifications:
The SPDY frame encoding and decoding code is separated from the
ChannelHandler and SpdyFrame abstractions. Also test coverage is
improved.
Result:
SpdyFrameCodec now implements the ChannelHandler abstraction and is
responsible for creating and handling SpdyFrame objects.
Conflicts:
codec-http/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/spdy/SpdyFrameCodec.java
Motivation:
Currently the CORS support only handles a single origin, or a wildcard
origin. This task should enhance Netty's CORS support to allow multiple
origins to be specified. Just being allowed to specify one origin is
particulary limiting when a site support both http and https for
example.
Modifications:
- Updated CorsConfig and its Builder to accept multiple origins.
Result:
Users are now able to configure multiple origins for CORS.
[https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/2346]
Motivation:
Previously, we used URLDecoder.decode(...) to decode url-encoded data. This generates a lot of garbage and takes a considerable amount of time.
Modifications:
Replace URLDecoder.decode(...) with QueryStringDecoder.decodeComponent(...)
Result:
Less garbage to GC and faster decode processing.
Motivation:
When running the build with Java 8 the following error occurred:
java: reference to preflightResponseHeader is ambiguous
both method
<T>preflightResponseHeader(java.lang.CharSequence,java.lang.Iterable<T>)
in io.netty.handler.codec.http.cors.CorsConfig.Builder and method
<T>preflightResponseHeader(java.lang.String,java.util.concurrent.Callable<T>)
in io.netty.handler.codec.http.cors.CorsConfig.Builder match
The offending class was CorsConfigTest and its shouldThrowIfValueIsNull
which contained the following line:
withOrigin("*").preflightResponseHeader("HeaderName", null).build();
Modifications:
Updated the offending method with to supply a type, and object array, to
avoid the error.
Result:
After this I was able to build with Java 7 and Java 8
Motivation:
An intermediary like a load balancer might require that a Cross Origin
Resource Sharing (CORS) preflight request have certain headers set.
As a concrete example the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) requires the
'Date' and 'Content-Length' header to be set or it will fail with a 502
error code.
This works is an enhancement of https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/2290
Modifications:
CorsConfig has been extended to make additional HTTP response headers
configurable for preflight responses. Since some headers, like the
'Date' header need to be generated each time, m0wfo suggested using a
Callable.
Result:
By default, the 'Date' and 'Content-Lenght' headers will be sent in a
preflight response. This can be overriden and users can specify
any headers that might be required by different intermediaries.
Motivation:
If the last item analyzed in a previous received HttpChunk/HttpContent was a part of an attribute's name, the read index was not set to the new right place and therefore raizing an exception in some case (since the "new" name analyzed is empty, which is not allowed so the exception).
What appears there is that the read index should be reset to the last valid position encountered whatever the case. Currently it was set when only when there is an attribute not already finished (name is ok, but content is possibly not).
Therefore the issue is that elements could be rescanned multiple times (including completed elements) and moreover some bad decoding can occur such as when in a middle of an attribute's name.
Modifications:
To fix this issue, since "firstpos" contains the last "valid" read index of the decoding (when finding a '&', '=', 'CR/LF'), we should add the setting of the read index for the following cases:
'lastchunk' encountered, therefore finishing the current buffer
any other cases than current attribute is not finished (name not found yet in particular)
So adding for this 2 cases:
undecodedChunk.readerIndex(firstpos);
Result:
Now the decoding is done once, content is added from chunk/content to chunk/content, name is decoded correctly even if in the middle of 2 chunks/contents.
A Junit test code was added: testChunkCorrect that should not raized any exception.
Motivation:
When an HttpResponseDecoder decodes an invalid chunk, a LastHttpContent instance is produced and the decoder enters the 'BAD_MESSAGE' state, which is not supposed to produce a message any further. However, because HttpObjectDecoder.invalidChunk() did not clear this.message out to null, decodeLast() will produce another LastHttpContent message on a certain situation.
Modification:
Do not forget to null out HttpObjectDecoder.message in invalidChunk(), and add a test case for it.
Result:
No more consecutive LastHttpContent messages produced by HttpObjectDecoder.
NPN server providers return a String version of the negotiated protocol
and the getProtocolByName method allows to easily get an instance of
the SelectedProtocol enum and avoid the need for a switch statement in
each subclass to match the String against the enum value.
- Since Netty 4, HTTP decoder does not generate a full message at all. Therefore, there's no need to keep separate states for the content smaller than maxChunkSize.
- maxChunkSize must be greater than 0. Setting it to 0 should not disable chunked encoding. We have a dedicated flag for that.
- Uncommented the tests that were commented out for an unknown reason, with some fixes.
- Added more tests for HTTP decoder.
- Removed the Ignore annotation on some tests.
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
