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.

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
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
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
Development of all 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.
