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.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
