io.netty.channel.CombinedChannelDuplexHandler<HttpRequestDecoder,HttpResponseEncoder>

io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpServerCodec

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelHandler, ChannelInboundHandler, ChannelOutboundHandler, HttpServerUpgradeHandler.SourceCodec

public final class HttpServerCodec
extends CombinedChannelDuplexHandler<HttpRequestDecoder,HttpResponseEncoder>
implements HttpServerUpgradeHandler.SourceCodec

A combination of HttpRequestDecoder and HttpResponseEncoder which enables easier server side HTTP implementation.

Header Validation

It is recommended to always enable header validation.

Without header validation, your system can become vulnerable to CWE-113: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting') .

This recommendation stands even when both peers in the HTTP exchange are trusted, as it helps with defence-in-depth.

Field Detail

DEFAULT_MAX_PIPELINE_DEPTH

static final int DEFAULT_MAX_PIPELINE_DEPTH

The maximum number of pipelined requests we allow to be awaiting a response by default, before decoding of further requests is rejected. This bounds the memory a single connection can force us to hold onto if the peer pipelines requests without reading the corresponding responses.
