Method Detail

decode

protected void decode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                      ByteBuf buffer,
                      java.util.List<java.lang.Object> out)
               throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: ByteToMessageDecoder

Decode the from one ByteBuf to an other. This method will be called till either the input ByteBuf has nothing to read when return from this method or till nothing was read from the input ByteBuf.

Overrides:

decode in class HttpObjectDecoder

Parameters:

ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this ByteToMessageDecoder belongs to

buffer - the ByteBuf from which to read data

out - the List to which decoded messages should be added

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - is thrown if an error occurs

handleTransferEncodingChunkedWithContentLength

protected void handleTransferEncodingChunkedWithContentLength(HttpMessage message)

Description copied from class: HttpObjectDecoder

Invoked when a message with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" and a "Content-Length" header field is detected. The default behavior is to throw a ContentLengthNotAllowedException exception, but this method could be overridden to change the behavior (to, e.g., remove the Content-Length header value.

See: RFC 9112, Section 6.1-15.

     A server MAY reject a request that contains both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding
     or process such a request in accordance with the Transfer-Encoding alone.
     Regardless, the server MUST close the connection after responding to such a request
     to avoid the potential attacks.
 

Since Netty itself cannot track the request/response pairing, it cannot guarantee that the connection is closed immediately after the response is sent. As such, it is safer to immediately reject the request.

Note: RFC 7230 (the previous HTTP/1.1 RFC) allowed the Content-Length header to simply be ignored, in the presence of a Transfer-Encoding header, but this practice is now obsolete and considered unsafe. The RFC 7230 behavior can be restored in the following ways:

• Process-wide, by setting the "io.netty.handler.codec.http.rfc9112TransferEncoding" system property to false.
• Configured for a specific decoder, by setting HttpDecoderConfig.setUseRfc9112TransferEncoding(boolean) to false.
• Hard-coded for a specific decoder, by overriding this method with an implementation like the following:

  {@code

Overrides:

handleTransferEncodingChunkedWithContentLength in class HttpObjectDecoder
