Comment: Added Netty Http CamelHttpRawQuery header description.

Info
titleStream

Netty is stream based, which means the input it receives is submitted to Camel as a stream. That means you will only be able to read the content of the stream once.
If you find a situation where the message body appears to be empty or you need to access the data multiple times (eg: doing multicasting, or redelivery error handling)
you should use Stream Cachingcaching or convert the message body to a String which is safe to be re-read multiple times.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

Code Block
xml
xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-netty-http</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

...

The URI scheme for a netty component is as follows

Code Block

netty-http:http://localhost:8080[?options]

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Name || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelHttpMethod}} | {{String}} | The HTTP method used, such as GET, POST, TRACE etc. |
| {{CamelHttpUrl}} | {{String}} | The URL including protocol, host and port, etc: {code}http://0.0.0.0:8080/myapp{code} |
| {{CamelHttpUri}} | {{String}} | The URI without protocol, host and port, etc: {code}/myapp{code} |
| {{CamelHttpQuery}} | {{String}} | Any query parameters, such as {{foo=bar&beer=yes}} |
| {{CamelHttpRawQuery}} | {{String}} | *Camel 2.13.0*: Any query parameters, such as {{foo=bar&beer=yes}}. Stored in the raw form, as they arrived to the consumer (i.e. before URL decoding). |
| {{CamelHttpPath}} | {{String}} | Additional context-path. This value is empty if the client called the context-path {{/myapp}}. If the client calls {{/myapp/mystuff}}, then this header value is {{/mystuff}}. In other words its the value after the context-path configured on the route endpoint. |
| {{CamelHttpCharacterEncoding}} | {{String}} | The charset from the content-type header. |
| {{CamelHttpAuthentication}} | {{String}} | If the user was authenticated using HTTP Basic then this header is added with the value {{Basic}}. |
| {{Content-Type}} | {{String}} | The content type if provided. For example: {{text/plain; charset="UTF-8"}}. |

This component uses the org.apache.camel.component.netty.http.NettyHttpMessage as the message implementation on the Exchange. This allows end users to get access to the original Netty request/response instances if needed, as shown below:

Code Block

org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequest request = exchange.getIn(NettyHttpMessage.class).getHttpRequest();

...

In the route below we use Netty HTTP as a HTTP server, which returns back a hardcoded "Bye World" message.

Code Block

    from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:8080/foo")
      .transform().constant("Bye World");

And we can call this HTTP server using Camel also, with the ProducerTemplate as shown below:

Code Block

    String out = template.requestBody("netty-http:http://localhost:8080/foo", "Hello World", String.class);
    System.out.println(out);

...

By default Netty HTTP will only match on exact uri's. But you can instruct Netty to match prefixes. For example

Code Block

from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:8123/foo").to("mock:foo");

...

So if you want to enable wildcard matching you do as follows:

Code Block

from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:8123/foo?matchOnUriPrefix=true").to("mock:foo");

...

To match any endpoint you can do:

Code Block

from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:8123?matchOnUriPrefix=true").to("mock:foo");

...

  .to("mock:foo")
  .transform().constant("Bye World");

from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/bar")
  .to("mock:bar")
  .transform().constant("Bye Camel");

titleTwo routes sharing the same port, but the 2nd route is misconfigured and will fail on starting
java

from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/foo")
  .to("mock:foo")
  .transform().constant("Bye World");

// we cannot have a 2nd route on same port with SSL enabled, when the 1st route is NOT
from("netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/bar?ssl=true")
  .to("mock:bar")
  .transform().constant("Bye Camel");

By configuring the common server bootstrap option in an single instance of a org.apache.camel.component.netty.NettyServerBootstrapConfiguration type, we can use the bootstrapConfiguration option on the Netty HTTP consumers to refer and reuse the same options across all consumers.

Code Block
xml
xml

<bean id="nettyHttpBootstrapOptions" class="org.apache.camel.component.netty.NettyServerBootstrapConfiguration">
  <property name="backlog" value="200"/>
  <property name="connectionTimeout" value="20000"/>
  <property name="workerCount" value="16"/>
</bean>

And in the routes you refer to this option as shown below

Code Block
xml
xml

<route>
  <from uri="netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/foo?bootstrapConfiguration=#nettyHttpBootstrapOptions"/>
  ...
</route>

<route>
  <from uri="netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/bar?bootstrapConfiguration=#nettyHttpBootstrapOptions"/>
  ...
</route>

<route>
  <from uri="netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/beer?bootstrapConfiguration=#nettyHttpBootstrapOptions"/>
  ...
</route>

...

The Netty HTTP consumer supports HTTP basic authentication by specifying the security realm name to use, as shown below

Code Block

<route>
   <from uri="netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/foo?securityConfiguration.realm=karaf"/>
   ...
</route>

...

For example as shown below in the XML DSL, we define the constraint bean:

Code Block
xml
xml

  <bean id="constraint" class="org.apache.camel.component.netty.http.SecurityConstraintMapping">
    <!-- inclusions defines url -> roles restrictions -->
    <!-- a * should be used for any role accepted (or even no roles) -->
    <property name="inclusions">
      <map>
        <entry key="/*" value="*"/>
        <entry key="/admin/*" value="admin"/>
        <entry key="/guest/*" value="admin,guest"/>
      </map>
    </property>
    <!-- exclusions is used to define public urls, which requires no authentication -->
    <property name="exclusions">
      <set>
        <value>/public/*</value>
      </set>
    </property>
  </bean>

...

To use this constraint we just need to refer to the bean id as shown below:

Code Block
xml
xml

<route>
   <from uri="netty-http:http://0.0.0.0:{{port}}/foo?matchOnUriPrefix=true&amp;securityConfiguration.realm=karaf&amp;securityConfiguration.securityConstraint=#constraint"/>
   ...
</route>
