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
Motivation:
ChannelInboundHandler and ChannelOutboundHandler both can implement exceptionCaught(...) method and so we need to dispatch to both of them.
Modifications:
- Correctly first dispatch exceptionCaught to the ChannelInboundHandler but also make sure the next handler it will be dispatched to will be the ChannelOutboundHandler
- Add removeInboundHandler() and removeOutboundHandler() which allows to remove one of the combined handlers
- Let *Codec extends it and not ChannelHandlerAppender
- Remove ChannelHandlerAppender
Result:
Correctly handle events and also have same behavior as in 4.0
Motivation:
As discussed in #4529, NameResolver design shouldn't be resolving SocketAddresses (or String name + port) and return InetSocketAddresses. It should resolve String names and return InetAddresses.
This SocketAddress to InetSocketAddresses resolution is actually a different concern, used by Bootstrap.
Modifications:
Extract SocketAddress to InetSocketAddresses resolution concern to a new class hierarchy named AddressResolver.
These AddressResolvers delegate to NameResolvers.
Result:
Better separation of concerns.
Note that new AddressResolvers generate a bit more allocations because of the intermediate Promise and List<InetAddress>.
