All Implemented Interfaces:

io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandler

@ChannelHandler.Sharable
public class ProxyToServerConnection
extends io.netty.channel.SimpleChannelInboundHandler<Object>

Represents a connection from our proxy to a server on the web. ProxyConnections are reused fairly liberally, and can go from disconnected to connected, back to disconnected and so on.

Connecting a ProxyToServerConnection can involve more than just connecting the underlying Channel. In particular, the connection may use encryption (i.e. TLS) and it may also establish an HTTP CONNECT tunnel. The various steps involved in fully establishing a connection are encapsulated in the property connectionFlow, which is initialized in initializeConnectionFlow().

StartTunneling

protected org.littleshoot.proxy.impl.ConnectionFlowStep StartTunneling

Enables tunneling on this connection by dropping the HTTP related encoders and decoders, as well as idle timers.

Note - the work is done on the ChannelHandlerContext's executor because ChannelPipeline.remove(String) can deadlock if called directly.
