Class SpdyHttpEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:
ChannelHandler, ChannelOutboundHandler

public class SpdyHttpEncoder extends MessageToMessageEncoder<HttpObject>
Encodes HttpRequests, HttpResponses, and HttpContents into SpdySynStreamFrames and SpdySynReplyFrames.

Request Annotations

SPDY specific headers must be added to HttpRequests:
Header NameHeader Value
"X-SPDY-Stream-ID" The Stream-ID for this request. Stream-IDs must be odd, positive integers, and must increase monotonically.
"X-SPDY-Priority" The priority value for this request. The priority should be between 0 and 7 inclusive. 0 represents the highest priority and 7 represents the lowest. This header is optional and defaults to 0.

Response Annotations

SPDY specific headers must be added to HttpResponses:
Header NameHeader Value
"X-SPDY-Stream-ID" The Stream-ID of the request corresponding to this response.

Pushed Resource Annotations

SPDY specific headers must be added to pushed HttpRequests:
Header NameHeader Value
"X-SPDY-Stream-ID" The Stream-ID for this resource. Stream-IDs must be even, positive integers, and must increase monotonically.
"X-SPDY-Associated-To-Stream-ID" The Stream-ID of the request that initiated this pushed resource.
"X-SPDY-Priority" The priority value for this resource. The priority should be between 0 and 7 inclusive. 0 represents the highest priority and 7 represents the lowest. This header is optional and defaults to 0.

Required Annotations

SPDY requires that all Requests and Pushed Resources contain an HTTP "Host" header.

Optional Annotations

Requests and Pushed Resources must contain a SPDY scheme header. This can be set via the "X-SPDY-Scheme" header but otherwise defaults to "https" as that is the most common SPDY deployment.

Chunked Content

This encoder associates all HttpContents that it receives with the most recently received 'chunked' HttpRequest or HttpResponse.

Pushed Resources

All pushed resources should be sent before sending the response that corresponds to the initial request.

      protected void encode(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, HttpObject msg, java.util.List<java.lang.Object> out) throws java.lang.Exception
      Description copied from class: MessageToMessageEncoder
      Encode from one message to an other. This method will be called for each written message that can be handled by this encoder.
      Specified by:
      encode in class MessageToMessageEncoder<HttpObject>
      Parameters:
      ctx - the ChannelHandlerContext which this MessageToMessageEncoder belongs to
      msg - the message to encode to an other one
      out - the List into which the encoded msg should be added needs to do some kind of aggregation
      Throws:
      java.lang.Exception - is thrown if an error occurs
