Motivation:
At the current moment HttpContentEncoder handle only first value of multiple accept-encoding headers.
Modification:
Join multiple accept-encoding headers to one separated by comma.
Result:
Fixes#9553
Motivation:
At the moment it is quite easy to hit reentrance issues when you have multiple handlers in the pipeline and each of the handlers does not correctly protect against these. To make it easier for the user we should try to protect from these. The issue is usually if and inbound event will trigger and outbound event and this outbound event then against triggeres an inbound event. This may result in having methods in a ChannelHandler re-enter some method and so state can be corrupted or messages be re-ordered.
Modifications:
- Keep track of inbound / outbound operations in DefaultChannelHandlerContext and if reentrancy is detected break it by scheduling the action on the EventLoop. This will then be picked up once the method returns and so the reentrancy is broken up.
- Adjust tests which made strange assumptions about execution order
Result:
No more reentrancy of handlers possible.
Motivation:
Currently when HttpPostStandardRequestDecoder throws a ErrorDataDecoderException during construction we leak memory. We need to ensure all is released correctly.
Modifications:
- Call destroy() if parseBody() throws and rethrow the ErrorDataDecoderException
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9513.
Motivation:
We did not correctly pass all supplied parameters to the called constructor and so did not apply the timeout.
Modification:
Correctly pass on the parameters.
Result:
Use timeout
Motivation:
Some of the links in javadoc point to the obsolete drafts of HTTP/2
specifications. We should point them to the latest RFC 7540 or 7541.
Modifications:
Update links from `draft-ietf-httpbis-*` to the `rfc7540` and `rfc7541`.
Result:
Correct links in javadoc.
Motivation:
`HttpObjectDecoder` pre-checks that it doesn't request characters
outside of the `AppendableCharSequence`'s length. `0` is always allowed
because the minimal length of `AppendableCharSequence` is `1`. We can
legally skip index check by using
`AppendableCharSequence.charAtUnsafe(int)` in all existing cases in
`HttpObjectDecoder`.
Modifications:
- Use `AppendableCharSequence.charAtUnsafe(int)` instead of
`AppendableCharSequence.charAt(int)` in `HttpObjectDecoder`.
Result:
No unnecessary index checks in `HttpObjectDecoder`.
Motivation:
Http post request may be encoded as 'multipart/form-data' without any files and consist mixed attributes only.
Modifications:
- Do not double release attributes
- Add unit test
Result:
Code does not throw an IllegalReferenceCountException.
Motivation:
We need to ensure we replace WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler before doing the actual handshake as the handshake itself may complete directly and so forward pending bytes through the pipeline.
Modifications:
Replace the handler before doing the actual handshake.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9471.
Motivation:
If all we need is the FileChannel we should better use RandomAccessFile as FileInputStream and FileOutputStream use a finalizer.
Modifications:
Replace FileInputStream and FileOutputStream with RandomAccessFile when possible.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8078.
Motivation:
It was possible to produce a NPE when we for examples received more responses as requests as we did not check if the queue did not contain a method before trying to compare method names.
Modifications:
- Add extra null check
- Add unit tet
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9459
Motivation:
We did not correctly pass the mask parameters in all cases.
Modifications:
Correctly pass on parameters
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9463.
Motivation:
Allow to set the ORIGIN header value from custom headers in WebSocketClientHandshaker
Modification:
Only override header if not present already
Result:
More flexible handshaker usage
Motivation:
If the HttpUtil.getCharset method is called with an illegal charset like
"charset=!illegal!" it throws an IllegalCharsetNameException. But the javadoc
states, that defaultCharset is returned if incorrect header value. Since the
client sending the request sets the header value this should not crash.
Modification:
HttpUtil.getCharset catches the IllegalCharsetNameException and returns the
defualt value.
Result:
HttpUtil.getCharset does not throw IllegalCharsetNameException any more.
…ryWebSocketFrames
Motivation:
`Utf8FrameValidator` is always created and added to the pipeline in `WebSocketServerProtocolHandler.handlerAdded` method. However, for websocket connection with only `BinaryWebSocketFrame`'s UTF8 validator is unnecessary overhead. Adding of `Utf8FrameValidator` could be easily avoided by extending of `WebSocketDecoderConfig` with additional property.
Specification requires UTF-8 validation only for `TextWebSocketFrame`.
Modification:
Added `boolean WebSocketDecoderConfig.withUTF8Validator` that allows to avoid adding of `Utf8FrameValidator` during pipeline initialization.
Result:
Less overhead when using only `BinaryWebSocketFrame`within web socket.
Motivation:
Our QA servers are spammed with this messages:
13:57:51.560 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame opCode=1
13:57:51.560 DEBUG- Decoding WebSocket Frame length=4
I think this is too much info for debug level. It is better to move it to trace level.
Modification:
logger.debug changed to logger.trace for WebSocketFrameEncoder/Decoder
Result:
Less messages in Debug mode.
Motivation:
In many places Netty uses Unpooled.buffer(0) while should use EMPTY_BUFFER. We can't change this due to back compatibility in the constructors but can use Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER in some cases to ensure we not allocate at all. In others we can directly use the allocator either from the Channel / ChannelHandlerContext or the request / response.
Modification:
- Use Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER where possible
- Use allocator where possible
Result:
Fixes#9345 for websockets and http package
Motivation:
We need to ensure we place the encoder before the decoder when doing the websockets upgrade as the decoder may produce a close frame when protocol violations are detected.
Modifications:
- Correctly place encoder before decoder
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9300
Motivation:
If the encoded value of a form element happens to exactly hit
the chunk limit (8096 bytes), the post request encoder will
throw a NullPointerException.
Modifications:
Catch the null case and return.
Result:
No NPE.
Motivation:
While fixing #9359 found few places that could be patched / improved separately.
Modification:
On handshake response generation - throw exception before allocating response objects if request is invalid.
Result:
No more leaks when exception is thrown.
Motivation:
Based on https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455#section-1.3 - for non-browser
clients, Origin header field may be sent if it makes sense in the context of those clients.
Modification:
Replace Sec-WebSocket-Origin to Origin
Result:
Fixes#9134 .
Motivation:
Netty homepage(netty.io) serves both "http" and "https".
It's recommended to use https than http.
Modification:
I changed from "http://netty.io" to "https://netty.io"
Result:
No effects.
Motivation:
There are is some unnecessary code (like toString() calls) which can be cleaned up.
Modifications:
- Remove not needed toString() calls
- Simplify subString(...) calls
- Remove some explicit casts when not needed.
Result:
Cleaner code
Motivation:
asList should only be used if there are multiple elements.
Modification:
Call to asList with only one argument could be replaced with singletonList
Result:
Cleaner code and a bit of memory savings
Motivation:
The HttpPostRequestEncoder overwrites the original filename of file uploads sharing the same name encoded in mixed mode when it rewrites the multipart body header of the previous file. The original filename should be preserved instead.
Modifications:
Change the HttpPostRequestEncoder to reuse the correct filename when the encoder switches to mixed mode. The original test is incorrect and has been modified too, in addition it tests with an extra file upload since the current test was not testing the continuation of a mixed mode.
Result:
The HttpPostRequestEncoder will preserve the original filename of the first fileupload when switching to mixed mode
Motivation:
I need to control WebSockets inbound flow manually, when autoRead=false
Modification:
Add missed ctx.read() call into WebSocketProtocolHandler, where read request has been swallowed.
Result:
Fixes#9257
Motivation:
Incorrect WebSockets closure affects our production system.
Enforced 'close socket on any protocol violation' prevents our custom termination sequence from execution.
Huge number of parameters is a nightmare both in usage and in support (decoders configuration).
Modification:
- Fix violations handling - send proper response codes.
- Fix for messages leak.
- Introduce decoder's option to disable default behavior (send close frame) on protocol violations.
- Encapsulate WebSocket response codes - WebSocketCloseStatus.
- Encapsulate decoder's configuration into a separate class - WebSocketDecoderConfig.
Result:
Fixes#8295.
Motivation:
When connecting through an HTTP proxy over clear HTTP, user agents must send requests with an absolute url. This hold true for WebSocket Upgrade request.
WebSocketClientHandshaker and subclasses currently always send requests with a relative url, which causes proxies to crash as request is malformed.
Modification:
Introduce a new parameter `absoluteUpgradeUrl` and expose it in constructors and WebSocketClientHandshakerFactory.
Result:
It's now possible to configure WebSocketClientHandshaker so it works properly with HTTP proxies over clear HTTP.
delete Other "Content-" MIME Header Fields exception
Motivation:
RFC7578 4.8. Other "Content-" Header Fields
The multipart/form-data media type does not support any MIME header
fields in parts other than Content-Type, Content-Disposition, and (in
limited circumstances) Content-Transfer-Encoding. Other header
fields MUST NOT be included and MUST be ignored.
Modification:
Ignore other Content types.
Result:
Other "Content-" Header Fields should be ignored no exception
Motivation:
f17bfd0f64 removed the usage of static exception instances to reduce the risk of OOME due addSupressed calls. We should do the same for exceptions used to signal handshake timeouts.
Modifications:
Do not use static instances
Result:
No risk of OOME due addSuppressed calls
Motivation:
The first final version of GraalVM was released which deprecated some flags. We should use the new ones.
Modifications:
Removes the use of deprecated GraalVM native-image flags
Adds a flag to initialize netty at build time.
Result:
Do not use deprecated flags
Motivation:
Support handshake timeout option in websocket handlers. It makes sense to limit the time we need to move from `HANDSHAKE_ISSUED` to `HANDSHAKE_COMPLETE` states when upgrading to WebSockets
Modification:
- Add `handshakeTimeoutMillis` option in `WebSocketClientProtocolHandshakeHandler` and `WebSocketServerProtocolHandshakeHandler`.
- Schedule a timeout task, the task will trigger user event `HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT` if the handshake timed out.
Result:
Fixes issue https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8841
Motivation
Pipeline handlers are free to "take control" of input buffers if they have singular refcount - in particular to mutate their raw data if non-readonly via discarding of read bytes, etc.
However there are various places (primarily unit tests) where a wrapped byte-array buffer is passed in and the wrapped array is assumed not to change (used after the wrapped buffer is passed to EmbeddedChannel.writeInbound()). This invalid assumption could result in unexpected errors, such as those exposed by #8931.
Modifications
Anywhere that the data passed to writeInbound() might be used again, ensure that either:
- A copy is used rather than wrapping a shared byte array, or
- The buffer is otherwise protected from modification by making it read-only
For the tests, copying is preferred since it still allows the "mutating" optimizations to be exercised.
Results
Avoid possible errors when pipeline assumes it has full control of input buffer.
Motivation:
OOME is occurred by increasing suppressedExceptions because other libraries call Throwable#addSuppressed. As we have no control over what other libraries do we need to ensure this can not lead to OOME.
Modifications:
Only use static instances of the Exceptions if we can either dissable addSuppressed or we run on java6.
Result:
Not possible to OOME because of addSuppressed. Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9151.
Motivation:
GraalVM native images are a new way to deliver java applications. Netty is one of the most popular libraries however there are a few limitations that make it impossible to use with native images out of the box. Adding a few metadata (in specific modules will allow the compilation to success and produce working binaries)
Modification:
Added properties files in `META-INF` and substitutions classes (under `internal.svm`) will solve the compilation issues. The substitutions classes are not visible and do not have a public constructor so they are not visible to end users.
Result:
Fixes#8959
This fix is very conservative as it applies the minimum config required to build:
* pure netty servers
* vert.x applications
* grpc applications
The build is having trouble due to checkstyle which does not seem to be able to find the copyright notice on property files.
Motivation:
RFC 6455 defines that, generally, a WebSocket client should not close a TCP
connection as far as a server is the one who's responsible for doing that.
In practice tho', it's not always possible to control the server. Server's
misbehavior may lead to connections being leaked (if the server does not
comply with the RFC).
RFC 6455 #7.1.1 says
> In abnormal cases (such as not having received a TCP Close from the server
after a reasonable amount of time) a client MAY initiate the TCP Close.
Modifications:
* WebSocket client handshaker additional param `forceCloseAfterMillis`
* Use 10 seconds as default
Result:
WebSocket client handshaker to comply with RFC. Fixes#8883.
Motivation:
We did manually call HttpObjectDecoder.reset() in HttpObjectAggregator.handleOversizedMessage(...) which is incorrect and will prevent correct parsing of the next message.
Modifications:
- Remove call to HttpObjectDecoder.reset()
- Add unit test
Result:
Verify that we can correctly parse the next request after we rejected a request.
Motivation:
32563bfcc1 introduced a regression in which we did now not longer discard the messages after we handled an oversized message.
Modifications:
- Do not set aggregating to false after handleOversizedMessage is called
- Adjust unit tests to verify the behaviour is correct again.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9007.
Motivation:
In 42742e233f we already added default methods to Channel*Handler and deprecated the Adapter classes to simplify the class hierarchy. With this change we go even further and merge everything into just ChannelHandler. This simplifies things even more in terms of class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Merge ChannelInboundHandler | ChannelOutboundHandler into ChannelHandler
- Adjust code to just use ChannelHandler
- Deprecate old interfaces.
Result:
Cleaner and simpler code in terms of class-hierarchy.
Motivation:
Add user possibility to skip the evaluation of certain web socket extension,
for example we can skip compression extension for messages that already compressed or very small and etc.
Modification:
This pull request is related with #5669
Result:
User can set to WebSocketClientExtensionHandshaker or WebSocketServerExtensionHandshaker a filter to skip the evaluation of certain extension.
Motivation:
According to the specification, the "Connection" header's syntax is:
"
The Connection header field's value has the following grammar:
Connection = 1#connection-option
connection-option = token
Connection options are case-insensitive.
"
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-6.1
This means that Connection's value can have at least one element or
a comma separated list with elements
When calculating whether the connection can remain open,
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) should take this into account.
Modifications:
- Check for "close" and "keep-alive" in a comma separated list
- Add unit test
Result:
HttpUtil.isKeepAlive(HttpMessage) works correctly when "Connection: Upgrade, close"
Motivation:
As we now us java8 as minimum java version we can deprecate ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter and just move the default implementations into the interfaces. This makes things a bit more flexible for the end-user and also simplifies the class-hierarchy.
Modifications:
- Mark ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter and ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter as deprecated
- Add default implementations to ChannelInboundHandler / ChannelOutboundHandler
- Refactor our code to not use ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter / ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter anymore
Result:
Cleanup class-hierarchy and make things a bit more flexible.
Motivation:
When HttpContentDecoder (and so HttpContentDecompressor) does not produce any message we need to make sure it calls ctx.read() if auto read is false to not stale.
Modifications:
- Keep track if we need to call ctx.read() or not
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8915.
Motivation:
Netty is very widely used which can lead to a lot of pain when we break API / ABI. We should make use japicmp-maven-plugin during the build to verify we do not introduce breakage by mistake.
Modifications:
- Add japicmp-maven-plugin to the build process
- Fix a method signature change in HttpProxyHandler that was flagged as a possible problem.
Result:
Ensure no API/ABI breakage accour between releases.
Motivation:
WebSocketVersion can be simplified by directly store the string representation in the enum.
Modification:
Pass in the string representation when creating the enum.
Result:
Cleaner code.
Motivation:
We should not depend on the implementation detail of Unpooled.buffer(int) to allocate the exact size of backing byte[] as depending on the implementation it may return a buffer with a bigger backing array.
Modifications:
Explicit allocate the byte[] and wrap it in the ByteBuf. This way we are sure that ByteBuf.array() returns an byte[] which has the exact length and content we expect.
Result:
More correct and safe usage of ByteBuf.array()
Motivation:
Gracefully respond on bad client request.
We have a set of errors produced by Android 7.1.1/7.1.2 clients where both headers `HttpHeaderNames.SEC_WEBSOCKET_VERSION` and `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` are not present. Absence of the first headers leads to WebSocketServerHandshaker00 be applied as a handshaker. However, null 2nd header causes
```
java.lang.NullPointerException: value
io.netty.util.internal.ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(ObjectUtil.java:33)
io.netty.handler.codec.DefaultHeaders.addObject(DefaultHeaders.java:327)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpHeaders.add(DefaultHttpHeaders.java:123)
io.netty.handler.codec.http.websocketx.WebSocketServerHandshaker00.newHandshakeResponse(WebSocketServerHandshaker00.java:162)
```
Which causes connection close with unclear reason.
Modification:
Added null-check, and in case of null an appropriate WebSocketHandshakeException is thrown.
Result:
In case of null `HttpHeaderNames.ORIGIN` header a WebSocketHandshakeException is caught by WebSocketServerProtocolHandler which sends a graceful `BAD_REQUEST`.
Motivation:
Since Java 8, JDK has `java.util.Base64` that could replace custom netty implementation. It is faster (3x for this particular PR) and simpler.
Modifications:
Use Base64 directly.
Result:
```
Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units
Base64Benchmark.base64New thrpt 6 7739181.025 ± 114230.467 ops/s
Base64Benchmark.base64Old thrpt 6 2689783.304 ± 454710.641 ops/s
```
Motivation:
When more than one connection header is present in h2c upgrade request, upgrade fails. This is to fix that.
Modification:
In HttpServerUpgradeHandler's upgrade() method, check whether any of the connection header value is upgrade, not just the first header value which might return a different value other than upgrade.
Result:
Fixes#8846.
With this PR, now when multiple connection headers are sent with the upgrade request, upgrade will not fail.
Motivation:
SPDY has been superseded by HTTP/2. Chrome has dropped support in 2016 and GFE no longer negociate it.
Modifications:
* drop codec
* drop examples
* drop constants from `ApplicationProtocolNames`
Result:
SPDY support dropped from Netty 5
Motivation:
We can replace some "hand-rolled" integer checks with our own static utility method to simplify the code.
Modifications:
Use methods provided by `ObjectUtil`.
Result:
Cleaner code and less duplication
Motivation:
We can use ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt() directly .
Motivation:
Use ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt() directly instead of (int) ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble()
Result:
Less custom code to maintain
Motivation:
We can just use Objects.requireNonNull(...) as a replacement for ObjectUtil.checkNotNull(....)
Modifications:
- Use Objects.requireNonNull(...)
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation
Implementations of MessageAggregator (HttpObjectAggregator in particular) may wish to
selectively aggrerage requests and responses on a case-by-case basis such as for example
only POST requests or only responses of a certain content-type.
Modifications
Adding a flag to MessageAggregator that toggles between true/false depending on if aggregation
is desired for the current message or not.
Result
Fixes#8772
Motivation:
We can re-use Files.readAllBytes(....) and so can remove our own implementation.
Modification:
Replaced custom readAllBytes with Files.readAllBytes
Result:
Less custom code.
Motivation:
We currently include two different cookie implementations, one is deprecated and one is not. We should remove the deprecated implentation.
Modifications:
Remove deprecated cookies classes.
Result:
Less code to maintain.
* HttpObjectDecoder ignores HTTP trailer header when empty line is received in seperate ByteBuf
Motivation:
When the empty line that termines the trailers was sent in a seperate ByteBuf we did ignore the previous parsed trailers and just returned none.
Modifications:
- Correct respect previous parsed trailers.
- Add unit test.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8736
Motivation:
HttpHeaderDateFormat was replaced with DateFormatter many days ago and now can be easily removed.
Modification:
Remove deprecated class and related test / benchmark
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
In most cases, HttpMethod instance is built from the factory method and the same instance is taken for known Http Methods. So we can implement fast path for equals().
Modification:
Replace == checks with HttpMethod.equals;
Use this == o within HttpMethod.equals;
Replaced known new HttpMethod with HttpMethod.valueOf;
Result:
Comparisons should be a bit faster in some cases.
Motivation:
We can use lambdas now as we use Java8.
Modification:
use lambda function for all package, #8751 only migrate transport package.
Result:
Code cleanup.
Motivation:
As netty 4.x supported Java 6 we had various if statements to check for java versions < 8. We can remove these now.
Modification:
Remove unnecessary if statements that check for java versions < 8.
Result:
Cleanup code.
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.
* Decouble EventLoop details from the IO handling for each transport to allow easy re-use of code and customization
Motiviation:
As today extending EventLoop implementations to add custom logic / metrics / instrumentations is only possible in a very limited way if at all. This is due the fact that most implementations are final or even package-private. That said even if these would be public there are the ability to do something useful with these is very limited as the IO processing and task processing are very tightly coupled. All of the mentioned things are a big pain point in netty 4.x and need improvement.
Modifications:
This changeset decoubled the IO processing logic from the task processing logic for the main transport (NIO, Epoll, KQueue) by introducing the concept of an IoHandler. The IoHandler itself is responsible to wait for IO readiness and process these IO events. The execution of the IoHandler itself is done by the SingleThreadEventLoop as part of its EventLoop processing. This allows to use the same EventLoopGroup (MultiThreadEventLoupGroup) for all the mentioned transports by just specify a different IoHandlerFactory during construction.
Beside this core API change this changeset also allows to easily extend SingleThreadEventExecutor / SingleThreadEventLoop to add custom logic to it which then can be reused by all the transports. The ideas are very similar to what is provided by ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor (that is part of the JDK). This allows for example things like:
* Adding instrumentation / metrics:
* how many Channels are registered on an SingleThreadEventLoop
* how many Channels were handled during the IO processing in an EventLoop run
* how many task were handled during the last EventLoop / EventExecutor run
* how many outstanding tasks we have
...
...
* Implementing custom strategies for choosing the next EventExecutor / EventLoop to use based on these metrics.
* Use different Promise / Future / ScheduledFuture implementations
* decorate Runnable / Callables when submitted to the EventExecutor / EventLoop
As a lot of functionalities are folded into the MultiThreadEventLoopGroup and SingleThreadEventLoopGroup this changeset also removes:
* AbstractEventLoop
* AbstractEventLoopGroup
* EventExecutorChooser
* EventExecutorChooserFactory
* DefaultEventLoopGroup
* DefaultEventExecutor
* DefaultEventExecutorGroup
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8514 .
Motivation:
Custom Netty ThreadLocalRandom and ThreadLocalRandomProvider classes are no longer needed and can be removed.
Modification:
Remove own ThreadLocalRandom
Result:
Less code to maintain
Motivation:
PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap() is no longer needed so it could be easily removed and new ConcurrentHashMap<>() inlined instead of invoking PlatformDependent.newConcurrentHashMap().
Modification:
Use ConcurrentHashMap provided by the JDK directly.
Result:
Less code to maintain.
Motivation:
No need to initialize charsets from the string. We can take already allocated charset from StandardCharsets class.
Modification:
Replace Charset.forName("US-ASCII") with StandardCharsets.US_ASCII.
Removed Charset[] values() method and internal static variable as it was used only in tests.
Result:
Reuse what the JDK provides
Motivation:
We can use the diamond operator these days.
Modification:
Use diamond operator whenever possible.
Result:
More modern code and less boiler-plate.
Motivation:
Replace "if else" conditions with string switch. It is easier to read the code, for large "if else" constructions switch also could be faster.
Modification:
Replaced "if else" with a string switch.
Result:
Use new language features
Motivation:
Since Java 7 we can automatically close resources in try () construction.
Modification:
Changed all try catches in the code with autoclose try (resource)
Result:
Less boiler-plate
Motivation:
Current implementation extract header value as String. We have an idiomatic way for checking presence of a header value.
Modification:
Use HttpHeaders#contains for checking if if contains Expect: 100-continue.
Result:
Use idiomatic way + simplify boolean logic.
Motivation:
While we are not yet quite sure if we want to require Java11 as minimum we are at least sure we want to use java8 as minimum.
Modifications:
Change minimum version to java8 and update some tests which failed compilation after this change.
Result:
Use Java8 as minimum and be able to use Java8 features.
Motivation:
I want to fix bug in vert.x project (eclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562) caused by ComposedLastHttpContent result being null. I don't know if it is intentional that this last decoded chuck in the issue returns null, but if not - I am providing fix for that.
Modification:
* Added new constructor in ComposedLastHttpContent allowing to pass DecoderResult
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentEncoder
* set DecoderResult.SUCCESS for created ComposedLastHttpContent in HttpContentDecoder
Result:
Fixeseclipse-vertx/vert.x#2562
Motivation:
The CorruptedFrameException from the finish() method of the Utf8Validator gets propagated to other handlers while the connection is still open.
Modification:
Override exceptionCaught method of the Utf8FrameValidator and close the connection if it is a CorruptedFrameException.
Result:
The CorruptedFrameException gets propagated to other handlers only after properly closing the connection.
Motivation:
At the moment it’s possible to have a Channel in Netty that is not registered / assigned to an EventLoop until register(...) is called. This is suboptimal as if the Channel is not registered it is also not possible to do anything useful with a ChannelFuture that belongs to the Channel. We should think about if we should have the EventLoop as a constructor argument of a Channel and have the register / deregister method only have the effect of add a Channel to KQueue/Epoll/... It is also currently possible to deregister a Channel from one EventLoop and register it with another EventLoop. This operation defeats the threading model assumptions that are wide spread in Netty, and requires careful user level coordination to pull off without any concurrency issues. It is not a commonly used feature in practice, may be better handled by other means (e.g. client side load balancing), and therefore we propose removing this feature.
Modifications:
- Change all Channel implementations to require an EventLoop for construction ( + an EventLoopGroup for all ServerChannel implementations)
- Remove all register(...) methods from EventLoopGroup
- Add ChannelOutboundInvoker.register(...) which now basically means we want to register on the EventLoop for IO.
- Change ChannelUnsafe.register(...) to not take an EventLoop as parameter (as the EventLoop is supplied on custruction).
- Change ChannelFactory to take an EventLoop to create new Channels and introduce ServerChannelFactory which takes an EventLoop and one EventLoopGroup to create new ServerChannel instances.
- Add ServerChannel.childEventLoopGroup()
- Ensure all operations on the accepted Channel is done in the EventLoop of the Channel in ServerBootstrap
- Change unit tests for new behaviour
Result:
A Channel always has an EventLoop assigned which will never change during its life-time. This ensures we are always be able to call any operation on the Channel once constructed (unit the EventLoop is shutdown). This also simplifies the logic in DefaultChannelPipeline a lot as we can always call handlerAdded / handlerRemoved directly without the need to wait for register() to happen.
Also note that its still possible to deregister a Channel and register it again. It's just not possible anymore to move from one EventLoop to another (which was not really safe anyway).
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8513.
Motivation:
The `maxChunkSize` only serves to split available content into even
smaller chunks which is not all that useful since the data is already
buffered.
Modification:
Remove the parameter.
Result:
Things are simpler.
Fixes#8430.
Motivation:
RFC 6455 doesn't define close status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014.
Yet, since then, IANA has defined them and web browsers support them.
From https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xhtml:
* 1012: Service Restart
* 1013: Try Again Later
* 1014: The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server. This is similar to 502 HTTP Status Code.
Modification:
Make status codes 1012, 1013 and 1014 legit.
Result:
WebSocket status codes as defined by IANA are supported.
Motivation:
ByteBuf supports “marker indexes”. The intended use case for these is if a speculative operation (e.g. decode) is in process the user can “mark” and interface and refer to it later if the operation isn’t successful (e.g. not enough data). However this is rarely used in practice,
requires extra memory to maintain, and introduces complexity in the state management for derived/pooled buffer initialization, resizing, and other operations which may modify reader/writer indexes.
Modifications:
Remove support for marking and adjust testcases / code.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8535.
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:
According to the HTTP spec set-cookie headers should not be combined
because they are not using the list syntax.
Modifications:
Do not combine set-cookie headers.
Result:
Set-Cookie headers won't be combined anymore
Motivation:
As mentioned in RFC 7692 :
The "server_no_context_takeover" Extension Parameter should be used on server side for compression and on client side for decompression.
The "client_no_context_takeover" Extension Parameter should be used on client side for compression and on server side for decompression.
Right now, in PerMessageDeflateClientExtensionHandshaker, the decoder uses clientNoContext instead of serverNoContext and the encoder uses serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext.
The same inversion is present in PerMessageDeflateServerExtensionHandshaker: the decoder uses
serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext, while the encoder uses serverNoContext instead of clientNoContext. Besides the context inversion, the sliding window sizes seem to be inversed as well.
Modification:
Inverse clientNoContext with serverNoContext and clientWindowSize with serverWindowSize for both the Decoder and Encoder in PerMessageDeflateServerExtensionHandshaker and PerMessageDeflateClientExtensionHandshaker.
Result:
This fixes the decompression fail in the case that one of the contexts is set and the other one is not.
Motivation:
Get charset from Content-Type header even it contains multiple parameters.
Modification:
Extract charset value from the charset parameter if it is not last.
Result:
Fixes#8273
Motivation:
Implementation of WebSocketUtil/randomNumber is incorrect and might violate
the API returning values > maximum specified.
Modifications:
* WebSocketUtil/randomNumber is reimplemented, the idea of the solution described
in the comment in the code
* Implementation of WebSocketUtil/randomBytes changed to nextBytes method
* PlatformDependet.threadLocalRandom is used instead of Math.random to improve efficiency
* Added test cases to check random numbers generator
* To ensure corretness, we now assert that min < max when generating random number
Result:
WebSocketUtil/randomNumber always produces correct result.
Covers https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8023
Motivation:
If a wrapped cookie value with an invalid charcater is passed to the strict
encoder, an exception is thrown on validation but the error message contains
a character at the wrong position.
Modifications:
Print `unwrappedValue.charAt(pos)` instead of `value.charAt(pos)`.
Result:
The exception indicates the correct invalid character in the unwrapped cookie.
Motivation
The HttpObjectEncoder raises an IllegalStateException due to an illegal state but doesn't mention what the state was. It could be useful for debugging purposes to figure out what happened.
Modifications
Mention the HttpObjectEncoder's state in the message of the IllegalStateException.
Result
An exception with more information what caused it.
Motivation:
Currently, when passing custom headers to a WebSocketClientHandshaker,
if values are added for headers that are reserved for use in the
websocket handshake performed with the server, these custom values can
be used by the server to compute the websocket handshake challenge. If
the server computes the response to the challenge with the custom header
values, rather than the values computed by the client handshaker, the
handshake may fail.
Modifications:
Update the client handshaker implementations to add the custom header
values first, and then set the reserved websocket header values.
Result:
Reserved websocket handshake headers, if present in the custom headers
passed to the client handshaker, will not be propagated to the server.
Instead the client handshaker will propagate the values it generates.
Fixes#7973.
Motivation:
The websockets abstract test suite does not run against the 08
implementation in the 08 version of the test suite.
Modifications:
Update the WebSocketClientHandshaker08Test to instantiate a new
WebSocketClientHandshaker08 rather than an 07 handshaker.
Result:
The WebSocketClientHandshaker08Test now tests the 08 implementation.
Motivation:
Currently, on recipt of a PongWebSocketFrame, the
WebSocketProtocolHandler will drop the frame, rather than passing it
along so it can be referenced by other handlers.
Modifications:
Add boolean field to WebSocketProtocolHandler to indicate whether Pong
frames should be dropped or propagated, defaulting to "true" to preserve
existing functionality.
Add new constructors to the client and server implementations of
WebSocketProtocolHandler that allow for overriding the behavior for the
handling of Pong frames.
Result:
PongWebSocketFrames are passed along the channel, if specified.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpResponse did not respect its status when compute the hashCode and check for equality.
Modifications:
Correctly implement hashCode and equals
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7964.
Motivation:
HTTP responses with status of 205 should not contain a payload. We should enforce this.
Modifications:
Correctly handle responses with status 205 and payload by set Content-Length: 0 header and stripping out the content.
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7888
Motivation:
It should be possible to call setContent(Unpooled.EMPTY_BUFFER) multiple times just like its possible to do the same with a non empty buffer.
Modifications:
- Correctly reset underlying storage if called multiple times.
- Add tests
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/6418
Motivation:
NPE in `CorsHandler` if a pre-flight request is done using an Origin header which is not allowed by any `CorsConfig` passed to the handler on creation.
Modifications:
During the pre-flight, check the `CorsConfig` for `null` and handle it correctly by not returning any access-control header
Result:
No more NPE for pre-flight requests with unauthorized origins.
Motivation:
Some `if` statements contains common parts that can be extracted.
Modifications:
Extract common parts from `if` statements.
Result:
Less code and bytecode. The code is simpler and more clear.
Motivation:
Finer granularity when configuring CorsHandler, enabling different policies for different origins.
Modifications:
The CorsHandler has an extra constructor that accepts a List<CorsConfig> that are evaluated sequentially when processing a Cors request
Result:
The changes don't break backwards compatibility. The extra ctor can be used to provide more than one CorsConfig object.
Motivation:
NPE in `ClientCookieDecoder` if cookie starts with comma.
Modifications:
Check `cookieBuilder` for `null` in the return.
Result:
No fails NPE on invalid cookies.
Motivation:
Unnecessary flushes reduce the amount of flush coalescing that can happen at higher levels and thus can increase number of packets (because of TCP_NODELAY) and lower throughput (due to syscalls, TLS frames, etc)
Modifications:
Replace writeAndFlush(...) with write(...)
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/7837.
Motivation:
There may be meaningful 'connection' headers that exist on a request
that is used to attempt a HTTP/1.x upgrade request that will be
clobbered.
Modifications:
HttpClientUpgradeHandler uses the `HttpHeaders.add` instead of
`HttpHeaders.set` when adding the 'upgrade' field.
Result:
Fixes#7823, existing 'connection' headers are preserved.
Motivation:
There is a race between both flushing the upgrade response and receiving
more data before the flush ChannelPromise can fire and reshape the
pipeline. Since We have already committed to an upgrade by writing the
upgrade response, we need to be immediately prepared for handling the
next protocol.
Modifications:
The pipeline reshaping logic in HttpServerUpgradeHandler has been moved
out of the ChannelFutureListener attached to the write of the upgrade
response and happens immediately after the writeAndFlush call, but
before the method returns.
Result:
The pipeline is no longer subject to receiving more data before the
pipeline has been reformed.
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
Motivation:
When the response is very small, compression will inflate the response.
Modifications:
Add filed io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpContentCompressor#compressThreshold that control whether the HTTP response should be compressed.
Result:
Fixes#7660.
Motivation:
A Malformed empty header value (e.g. Content-Type: \r\n) will trigger a String index out of range
while trying to parse the multi-part request, using the HttpPostMultipartRequestDecoder.
Modification:
Ensure that the substring() method is called passing the endValue >= valueStart.
In case of an empty header value, the empty header value associated with the header key will be returned.
Result:
Fixes#7620
Motivation:
Usages of HttpResponseStatus may result in more object allocation then necessary due to not looking for cached objects and the AsciiString parsing method not being used due to CharSequence method being used instead.
Modifications:
- HttpResponseDecoder should attempt to get the HttpResponseStatus from cache instead of allocating a new object
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(CharSequence) should check if the type is AsciiString and redirect to the AsciiString parsing method which may not require an additional toString call
- HttpResponseStatus#parseLine(AsciiString) can be optimized and doesn't require and may not require object allocation
Result:
Less allocations when dealing with HttpResponseStatus.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpDataFactory uses HttpRequest as map keys.
Because of the implementation of "hashCode"" and "equals" in DefaultHttpRequest,
if we use normal maps, HttpDatas of different requests may end up in the same map entry,
causing cleanup bug.
Consider this example:
- Suppose that request1 is equal to request2, causing their HttpDatas to be stored in one single map entry.
- request1 is cleaned up first, while request2 is still being decoded.
- Consequently request2's HttpDatas are suddenly gone, causing NPE, or worse loss of data.
This bug can be reproduced by starting the HttpUploadServer example,
then run this command:
ab -T 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -n 100 -c 5 -p post.txt http://localhost:8080/form
post.txt file content:
a=1&b=2
There will be errors like this:

Modifications:
Keep identity of requests by using IdentityHashMap
Result:
DefaultHttpDataFactory is fixed.
The ConcurrentHashMap is replaced with a synchronized map, but I think the performance won't be affected much in real web apps.
Motiviation:
In our replace(...) methods we always used validation for the newly created headers while the original headers may not use validation at all.
Modifications:
- Only use validation if the original headers used validation as well.
- Ensure we create a copy of the headers in replace(...).
Result:
Fixes [#5226]
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:
HttpObjectDecoder will throw a TooLongFrameException when either the max size for the initial line or the header size was exceeed. We have no tests for this.
Modifications:
Add test cases.
Result:
More tests.
Motivation:
DefaultHttpHeader.names() exposes HTTP header names as a Set<String>. Converting the resulting set to an array using toArray(String[]) throws an exception: java.lang.ArrayStoreException: io.netty.util.AsciiString.
Modifications:
- Remove our custom implementation of toArray(...) (and others) by just extending AbstractCollection.
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes [#7428].
Motivation:
For debugging/logging purpose, it would be convenient to have
HttpHeaders#toString implemented.
DefaultHeaders does implement toString be the implementation is suboptimal and allocates a Set for the names and Lists for values.
Modification:
* Introduce HeadersUtil#toString that provides a convenient optimized helper to implement toString for various headers implementations
* Have DefaultHeaders#toString and HttpHeaders#toString delegate their toString implementation to HeadersUtil
Result:
Convenient HttpHeaders#toString. Optimized DefaultHeaders#toString.
Motivation:
Its possible that cleanup() will throw if invalid data is passed into the wrapped EmbeddedChannel. We need to ensure we still call channelInactive(...) in this case.
Modifications:
- Correctly forward Exceptions caused by cleanup()
- Ensure all content is released when cleanup() throws
- Add unit tests
Result:
Correctly handle the case when cleanup() throws.
