Http2MultiplexCodec

public class Http2FrameCodec
extends Http2ConnectionHandler

An HTTP/2 handler that maps HTTP/2 frames to Http2Frame objects and vice versa. For every incoming HTTP/2 frame, an Http2Frame object is created and propagated via ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext, java.lang.Object). Outbound Http2Frame objects received via write(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext, java.lang.Object, io.netty.channel.ChannelPromise) are converted to the HTTP/2 wire format. HTTP/2 frames specific to a stream implement the Http2StreamFrame interface. The Http2FrameCodec is instantiated using the Http2FrameCodecBuilder. It's recommended for channel handlers to inherit from the Http2ChannelDuplexHandler, as it provides additional functionality like iterating over all active streams or creating outbound streams.

Stream Lifecycle

The frame codec delivers and writes frames for active streams. An active stream is closed when either side sends a RST_STREAM frame or both sides send a frame with the END_STREAM flag set. Each Http2StreamFrame has a Http2FrameStream object attached that uniquely identifies a particular stream.

Http2StreamFrames read from the channel always a Http2FrameStream object set, while when writing a Http2StreamFrame the application code needs to set a Http2FrameStream object using Http2StreamFrame.stream(Http2FrameStream).

Flow control

The frame codec automatically increments stream and connection flow control windows.

Incoming flow controlled frames need to be consumed by writing a Http2WindowUpdateFrame with the consumed number of bytes and the corresponding stream identifier set to the frame codec.

The local stream-level flow control window can be changed by writing a Http2SettingsFrame with the Http2Settings.initialWindowSize() set to the targeted value.

The connection-level flow control window can be changed by writing a Http2WindowUpdateFrame with the desired window size increment in bytes and the stream identifier set to 0. By default the initial connection-level flow control window is the same as initial stream-level flow control window.

New inbound Streams

The first frame of an HTTP/2 stream must be an Http2HeadersFrame, which will have an Http2FrameStream object attached.

New outbound Streams

A outbound HTTP/2 stream can be created by first instantiating a new Http2FrameStream object via Http2ChannelDuplexHandler.newStream(), and then writing a Http2HeadersFrame object with the stream attached.

 {@code
     final Http2Stream2 stream = handler.newStream();
     ctx.write(headersFrame.stream(stream)).addListener(new ChannelFutureListener() {

Method Detail

handlerAdded

public final void handlerAdded(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext ctx)
                        throws Exception

Specified by:

handlerAdded in interface io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler

Overrides:

handlerAdded in class Http2ConnectionHandler

Throws:

Exception

userEventTriggered

public final void userEventTriggered(io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext ctx,
                                     Object evt)
                              throws Exception

Handles the cleartext HTTP upgrade event. If an upgrade occurred, sends a simple response via HTTP/2 on stream 1 (the stream specifically reserved for cleartext HTTP upgrade).

Specified by:

                  Object msg,
                  io.netty.channel.ChannelPromise promise)

Processes all Http2Frames. Http2StreamFrames may only originate in child streams.

Overrides:

onConnectionError in class Http2ConnectionHandler

Parameters:

ctx - the channel context

outbound - true if the error was caused by an outbound operation.

cause - the exception that was caught

http2Ex - the Http2Exception that is embedded in the causality chain. This may be null if it's an unknown exception.

onStreamError

                                   boolean outbound,
                                   Throwable cause,
                                   Http2Exception.StreamException streamException)

Exceptions for unknown streams, that is streams that have no Http2FrameStream object attached are simply logged and replied to by sending a RST_STREAM frame.

Overrides:

onStreamError in class Http2ConnectionHandler

Parameters:

ctx - the channel context

outbound - true if the error was caused by an outbound operation.

cause - the exception that was caught

streamException - the Http2Exception.StreamException that is embedded in the causality chain.

isGracefulShutdownComplete

protected final boolean isGracefulShutdownComplete()

Description copied from class: Http2ConnectionHandler

Called by the graceful shutdown logic to determine when it is safe to close the connection. Returns true if the graceful shutdown has completed and the connection can be safely closed. This implementation just guarantees that there are no active streams. Subclasses may override to provide additional checks.

Overrides:

isGracefulShutdownComplete in class Http2ConnectionHandler

newHttp2UnknownFrame

                                                io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf payload)

Create a Http2UnknownFrame. The ownership of the ByteBuf is transferred.
