Hi, I'm using CXF to create a jax-rs web service. Accessing the service from a simple HTML form works correctly.
However when using curl to send a binary attachment, I get the following server side exception 10 Mar 2017 09:55:56 | ERROR Unexpected exception from downstream in Netty servlet handler, due to: {0}. (org.apache.cxf.transport.http.netty.server.NettyHttpServletHandler) [defaultEventExecutorGroup-7-1] io.netty.handler.codec.UnsupportedMessageTypeException: io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultFullHttpResponse (expected: io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf) at io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandler.write(SslHandler.java:474) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeWrite(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:619) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.write(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:676) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.writeAndFlush(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:667) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.writeAndFlush(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:693) at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpObjectAggregator.decode(HttpObjectAggregator.java:166) at io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpObjectAggregator.decode(HttpObjectAggregator.java:57) at io.netty.handler.codec.MessageToMessageDecoder.channelRead(MessageToMessageDecoder.java:89) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:292) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:278) at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.fireChannelRead(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:277) at io.netty.handler.codec.ByteToMessageDecoder.channelRead(ByteToMessageDecoder.java:264) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.invokeChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:292) at io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext.fireChannelRead(AbstractChannelHandlerContext.java:278) at io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandler.unwrap(SslHandler.java:1070) at io.netty.handler.ssl.SslHandler.decode(SslHandler.java:904) curl by default seems to issue a "Expect: 100-continue". The web service call works if I disable "Expect: 100-continue" support. In this case curl will post the request immediately. I have confirmed using some other client application that if the client uses "Expect: 100-continue", the web service does not function. It seems that CXF jax-rs with netty as the HTTP(s) transport, does not support "Expect: 100-continue" out of the box. Is there something I'm missing in my configuration? Is it possible to enable "Expect: 100-continue" support? Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers PS I'm using CXF 3.0.12
