OkHttp 3.x Change Log

Version 3.14.9

2020-05-17

  • Fix: Don’t crash when running as a plugin in Android Studio Canary 4.1. To enable platform-specific TLS features OkHttp must detect whether it’s running in a JVM or in Android. The upcoming Android Studio runs in a JVM but has classes from Android and that confused OkHttp!

Version 3.14.8

2020-04-28

  • Fix: Don’t crash on Java 8u252 which introduces an API previously found only on Java 9 and above. See Jetty’s overview of the API change and its consequences.

Version 3.14.7

2020-02-24

  • Fix: Don’t crash on Android 11 due to use of restricted methods. This prevents a crash with the exception, “Expected Android API level 21+ but was 29”.

Version 3.14.6

2020-01-11

  • Fix: Don’t crash if the connection is closed when sending a degraded ping. This fixes a regression that was introduced in OkHttp 3.14.5.

Version 3.14.5

2020-01-03

  • Fix: Degrade HTTP/2 connections after a timeout. When an HTTP/2 stream times out it may impact the stream only or the entire connection. With this fix OkHttp will now send HTTP/2 pings after a stream timeout to determine whether the connection should remain eligible for pooling.

Version 3.14.4

2019-09-29

  • Fix: Cancel calls that fail due to unexpected exceptions. We had a bug where an enqueued call would never call back if it crashed with an unchecked throwable, such as a NullPointerException or OutOfMemoryError. We now call Callback.onFailure() with an IOException that reports the call as canceled. The triggering exception is still delivered to the thread’s UncaughtExceptionHandler.
  • Fix: Don’t evict incomplete entries when iterating the cache. We had a bug where iterating Cache.urls() would prevent in-flight entries from being written.

Version 3.14.3

2019-09-10

  • Fix: Don’t lose HTTP/2 flow control bytes when incoming data races with a stream close. If this happened enough then eventually the connection would stall.

  • Fix: Acknowledge and apply inbound HTTP/2 settings atomically. Previously we had a race where we could use new flow control capacity before acknowledging it, causing strict HTTP/2 servers to fail the call.

  • Fix: Recover gracefully when a coalesced connection immediately goes unhealthy.

Version 3.14.2

2019-05-19

  • Fix: Lock in a route when recovering from an HTTP/2 connection error. We had a bug where two calls that failed at the same time could cause OkHttp to crash with a NoSuchElementException instead of the expected IOException.

  • Fix: Don’t crash with a NullPointerException when formatting an error message describing a truncated response from an HTTPS proxy.

Version 3.14.1

2019-04-10

  • Fix: Don’t crash when an interceptor retries when there are no more routes. This was an edge-case regression introduced with the events cleanup in 3.14.0.

  • Fix: Provide actionable advice when the exchange is non-null. Prior to 3.14, OkHttp would silently leak connections when an interceptor retries without closing the response body. With 3.14 we detect this problem but the exception was not helpful.

Version 3.14.0

2019-03-14

  • This release deletes the long-deprecated OkUrlFactory and OkApacheClient APIs. These facades hide OkHttp’s implementation behind another client’s API. If you still need this please copy and paste ObsoleteUrlFactory.java or ObsoleteApacheClient.java into your project.

  • OkHttp now supports duplex calls over HTTP/2. With normal HTTP calls the request must finish before the response starts. With duplex, request and response bodies are transmitted simultaneously. This can be used to implement interactive conversations within a single HTTP call.

    Create duplex calls by overriding the new RequestBody.isDuplex() method to return true. This simple option dramatically changes the behavior of the request body and of the entire call.

    The RequestBody.writeTo() method may now retain a reference to the provided sink and hand it off to another thread to write to it after writeTo returns.

    The EventListener may now see requests and responses interleaved in ways not previously permitted. For example, a listener may receive responseHeadersStart() followed by requestBodyEnd(), both on the same call. Such events may be triggered by different threads even for a single call.

    Interceptors that rewrite or replace the request body may now inadvertently interfere with duplex request bodies. Such interceptors should check RequestBody.isDuplex() and avoid accessing the request body when it is.

    Duplex calls require HTTP/2. If HTTP/1 is established instead the duplex call will fail. The most common use of duplex calls is gRPC.

  • New: Prevent OkHttp from retransmitting a request body by overriding RequestBody.isOneShot(). This is most useful when writing the request body is destructive.

  • New: We’ve added requestFailed() and responseFailed() methods to EventListener. These are called instead of requestBodyEnd() and responseBodyEnd() in some failure situations. They may also be fired in cases where no event was published previously. In this release we did an internal rewrite of our event code to fix problems where events were lost or unbalanced.

  • Fix: Don’t leak a connection when a call is canceled immediately preceding the onFailure() callback.

  • Fix: Apply call timeouts when connecting duplex calls, web sockets, and server-sent events. Once the streams are established no further timeout is enforced.

  • Fix: Retain the Route when a connection is reused on a redirect or other follow-up. This was causing some Authenticator calls to see a null route when non-null was expected.

  • Fix: Use the correct key size in the name of TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256 which is a TLS 1.3 cipher suite. We accidentally specified a key size of 256, preventing that cipher suite from being selected for any TLS handshakes. We didn’t notice because this cipher suite isn’t supported on Android, Java, or Conscrypt.

    We removed this cipher suite and TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256 from the restricted, modern, and compatible sets of cipher suites. These two cipher suites aren’t enabled by default in either Firefox or Chrome.

    See our TLS Configuration History tracker for a log of all changes to OkHttp’s default TLS options.

  • New: Upgrade to Conscrypt 2.0.0. OkHttp works with other versions of Conscrypt but this is the version we’re testing against.

    implementation("org.conscrypt:conscrypt-openjdk-uber:2.0.0")
    
  • New: Update the embedded public suffixes list.

Version 3.13.1

2019-02-05

  • Fix: Don’t crash when using a custom X509TrustManager or SSLSocket on Android. When we removed obsolete code for Android 4.4 we inadvertently also removed support for custom subclasses. We’ve restored that support!

Version 3.13.0

2019-02-04

  • This release bumps our minimum requirements to Java 8+ or Android 5+. Cutting off old devices is a serious change and we don’t do it lightly! This post explains why we’re doing this and how to upgrade.

    The OkHttp 3.12.x branch will be our long-term branch for Android 2.3+ (API level 9+) and Java 7+. These platforms lack support for TLS 1.2 and should not be used. But because upgrading is difficult we will backport critical fixes to the 3.12.x branch through December 31, 2021. (This commitment was originally through December 31, 2020; we have since extended it.)

  • TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 are no longer enabled by default. Major web browsers are working towards removing these versions altogether in early 2020. If your servers aren’t ready yet you can configure OkHttp 3.13 to allow TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 connections:

    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
        .connectionSpecs(Arrays.asList(ConnectionSpec.COMPATIBLE_TLS))
        .build();
    
  • New: You can now access HTTP trailers with Response.trailers(). This method may only be called after the entire HTTP response body has been read.

  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.17.3. If you’re on Kotlin-friendly Okio 2.x this release requires 2.2.2 or newer.

    implementation("com.squareup.okio:okio:1.17.3")
    
  • Fix: Don’t miss cancels when sending HTTP/2 request headers.

  • Fix: Don’t miss whole operation timeouts when calls redirect.
  • Fix: Don’t leak connections if web sockets have malformed responses or if onOpen() throws.
  • Fix: Don’t retry when request bodies fail due to FileNotFoundException.
  • Fix: Don’t crash when URLs have IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
  • Fix: Don’t crash when building HandshakeCertificates on Android API 28.
  • Fix: Permit multipart file names to contain non-ASCII characters.
  • New: API to get MockWebServer’s dispatcher.
  • New: API to access headers as java.time.Instant.
  • New: Fail fast if a SSLSocketFactory is used as a SocketFactory.
  • New: Log the TLS handshake in LoggingEventListener.

Version 3.12.13

2021-01-30

  • Fix: Work around a crash in Android 10 and 11 that may be triggered when two threads concurrently close an SSL socket. This would have appeared in crash logs as NullPointerException: bio == null.

Version 3.12.12

2020-05-17

  • Fix: Don’t crash when running as a plugin in Android Studio Canary 4.1. To enable platform-specific TLS features OkHttp must detect whether it’s running in a JVM or in Android. The upcoming Android Studio runs in a JVM but has classes from Android and that confused OkHttp!

Version 3.12.11

2020-04-28

  • Fix: Don’t crash on Java 8u252 which introduces an API previously found only on Java 9 and above. See Jetty’s overview of the API change and its consequences.

Version 3.12.10

2020-02-29

  • Fix: Don’t crash on Android 4.1 when detecting methods that became restricted in Android 11. Supporting a full decade of Android releases on our 3.12.x branch is tricky!

Version 3.12.9

2020-02-24

  • Fix: Don’t crash on Android 11 due to use of restricted methods. This prevents a crash with the exception, “Expected Android API level 21+ but was 29”.

Version 3.12.8

2020-01-11

  • Fix: Don’t crash if the connection is closed when sending a degraded ping. This fixes a regression that was introduced in OkHttp 3.12.7.

Version 3.12.7

2020-01-03

  • Fix: Degrade HTTP/2 connections after a timeout. When an HTTP/2 stream times out it may impact the stream only or the entire connection. With this fix OkHttp will now send HTTP/2 pings after a stream timeout to determine whether the connection should remain eligible for pooling.

Version 3.12.6

2019-09-29

  • Fix: Cancel calls that fail due to unexpected exceptions. We had a bug where an enqueued call would never call back if it crashed with an unchecked throwable, such as a NullPointerException or OutOfMemoryError. We now call Callback.onFailure() with an IOException that reports the call as canceled. The triggering exception is still delivered to the thread’s UncaughtExceptionHandler.
  • Fix: Don’t evict incomplete entries when iterating the cache. We had a bug where iterating Cache.urls() would prevent in-flight entries from being written.

Version 3.12.5

2019-09-10

  • Fix: Don’t lose HTTP/2 flow control bytes when incoming data races with a stream close. If this happened enough then eventually the connection would stall.

  • Fix: Acknowledge and apply inbound HTTP/2 settings atomically. Previously we had a race where we could use new flow control capacity before acknowledging it, causing strict HTTP/2 servers to fail the call.

Version 3.12.4

2019-09-04

  • Fix: Don’t crash looking up an absent class on certain buggy Android 4.x devices.

Version 3.12.3

2019-05-07

  • Fix: Permit multipart file names to contain non-ASCII characters.
  • Fix: Retain the Route when a connection is reused on a redirect or other follow-up. This was causing some Authenticator calls to see a null route when non-null was expected.

Version 3.12.2

2019-03-14

  • Fix: Don’t crash if the HTTPS server returns no certificates in the TLS handshake.
  • Fix: Don’t leak a connection when a call is canceled immediately preceding the onFailure() callback.

Version 3.12.1

2018-12-23

  • Fix: Remove overlapping package-info.java. This caused issues with some build tools.

Version 3.12.0

2018-11-16

  • OkHttp now supports TLS 1.3. This requires either Conscrypt or Java 11+.

  • Proxy authenticators are now asked for preemptive authentication. OkHttp will now request authentication credentials before creating TLS tunnels through HTTP proxies (HTTP CONNECT). Authenticators should identify preemptive authentications by the presence of a challenge whose scheme is “OkHttp-Preemptive”.

  • OkHttp now offers full-operation timeouts. This sets a limit on how long the entire call may take and covers resolving DNS, connecting, writing the request body, server processing, and reading the full response body. If a call requires redirects or retries all must complete within one timeout period.

    Use OkHttpClient.Builder.callTimeout() to specify the default duration and Call.timeout() to specify the timeout of an individual call.

  • New: Return values and fields are now non-null unless otherwise annotated.

  • New: LoggingEventListener makes it easy to get basic visibility into a call’s performance. This class is in the logging-interceptor artifact.
  • New: Headers.Builder.addUnsafeNonAscii() allows non-ASCII values to be added without an immediate exception.
  • New: Headers can be redacted in HttpLoggingInterceptor.
  • New: Headers.Builder now accepts dates.
  • New: OkHttp now accepts java.time.Duration for timeouts on Java 8+ and Android 26+.
  • New: Challenge includes all authentication parameters.
  • New: Upgrade to BouncyCastle 1.60, Conscrypt 1.4.0, and Okio 1.15.0. We don’t yet require Kotlin-friendly Okio 2.x but OkHttp works fine with that series.

    implementation("org.bouncycastle:bcprov-jdk15on:1.60")
    implementation("org.conscrypt:conscrypt-openjdk-uber:1.4.0")
    implementation("com.squareup.okio:okio:1.15.0")
    
  • Fix: Handle dispatcher executor shutdowns gracefully. When there aren’t any threads to carry a call its callback now gets a RejectedExecutionException.

  • Fix: Don’t permanently cache responses with Cache-Control: immutable. We misunderstood the original immutable proposal!
  • Fix: Change Authenticator‘s Route parameter to be nullable. This was marked as non-null but could be called with null in some cases.
  • Fix: Don’t create malformed URLs when MockWebServer is reached via an IPv6 address.
  • Fix: Don’t crash if the system default authenticator is null.
  • Fix: Don’t crash generating elliptic curve certificates on Android.
  • Fix: Don’t crash doing platform detection on RoboVM.
  • Fix: Don’t leak socket connections when web socket upgrades fail.

Version 3.11.0

2018-07-12

  • OkHttp’s new okhttp-tls submodule tames HTTPS and TLS.

    HeldCertificate is a TLS certificate and its private key. Generate a certificate with its builder then use it to sign another certificate or perform a TLS handshake. The certificatePem() method encodes the certificate in the familiar PEM format (--- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ---); the privateKeyPkcs8Pem() does likewise for the private key.

    HandshakeCertificates holds the TLS certificates required for a TLS handshake. On the server it keeps your HeldCertificate and its chain. On the client it keeps the root certificates that are trusted to sign a server’s certificate chain. HandshakeCertificates also works with mutual TLS where these roles are reversed.

    These classes make it possible to enable HTTPS in MockWebServer in just a few lines of code.

  • OkHttp now supports prior knowledge cleartext HTTP/2. Enable this by setting Protocol.H2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE as the lone protocol on an OkHttpClient.Builder. This mode only supports http: URLs and is best suited in closed environments where HTTPS is inappropriate.

  • New: HttpUrl.get(String) is an alternative to HttpUrl.parse(String) that throws an exception when the URL is malformed instead of returning null. Use this to avoid checking for null in situations where the input is known to be well-formed. We’ve also added MediaType.get(String) which is an exception-throwing alternative to MediaType.parse(String).

  • New: The EventListener API previewed in OkHttp 3.9 has graduated to a stable API. Use this interface to track metrics and monitor HTTP requests’ size and duration.
  • New: okhttp-dnsoverhttps is an experimental API for doing DNS queries over HTTPS. Using HTTPS for DNS offers better security and potentially better performance. This feature is a preview: the API is subject to change.
  • New: okhttp-sse is an early preview of Server-Sent Events (SSE). This feature is incomplete and is only suitable for experimental use.
  • New: MockWebServer now supports client authentication (mutual TLS). Call requestClientAuth() to permit an optional client certificate or requireClientAuth() to require one.
  • New: RecordedRequest.getHandshake() returns the HTTPS handshake of a request sent to MockWebServer.
  • Fix: Honor the MockResponse header delay in MockWebServer.
  • Fix: Don’t release HTTP/2 connections that have multiple canceled calls. We had a bug where canceling calls would cause the shared HTTP/2 connection to be unnecessarily released. This harmed connection reuse.
  • Fix: Ensure canceled and discarded HTTP/2 data is not permanently counted against the limited flow control window. We had a few bugs where window size accounting was broken when streams were canceled or reset.
  • Fix: Recover gracefully if the TLS session returns an unexpected version (NONE) or cipher suite (SSL_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL).
  • Fix: Don’t change Conscrypt configuration globally. We migrated from a process-wide setting to configuring only OkHttp’s TLS sockets.
  • Fix: Prefer TLSv1.2 where it is available. On certain older platforms it is necessary to opt-in to TLSv1.2.
  • New: Request.tag() permits multiple tags. Use a Class<?> as a key to identify tags. Note that tag() now returns null if the request has no tag. Previously this would return the request itself.
  • New: Headers.Builder.addAll(Headers).
  • New: ResponseBody.create(MediaType, ByteString).
  • New: Embed R8/ProGuard rules in the jar. These will be applied automatically by R8.
  • Fix: Release the connection if Authenticator throws an exception.
  • Fix: Change the declaration of OkHttpClient.cache() to return a @Nullable Cache. The return value has always been nullable but it wasn’t declared properly.
  • Fix: Reverse suppression of connect exceptions. When both a call and its retry fail, we now throw the initial exception which is most likely to be actionable.
  • Fix: Retain interrupted state when throwing InterruptedIOException. A single interrupt should now be sufficient to break out an in-flight OkHttp call.
  • Fix: Don’t drop a call to EventListener.callEnd() when the response body is consumed inside an interceptor.

Version 3.10.0

2018-02-24

  • The pingInterval() feature now aggressively checks connectivity for web sockets and HTTP/2 connections.

    Previously if you configured a ping interval that would cause OkHttp to send pings, but it did not track whether the reply pongs were received. With this update OkHttp requires that every ping receive a response: if it does not the connection will be closed and the listener’s onFailure() method will be called.

    Web sockets have always been had pings, but pings on HTTP/2 connections is new in this release. Pings are used for connections that are busy carrying calls and for idle connections in the connection pool. (Pings do not impact when pooled connections are evicted).

    If you have a configured ping interval, you should confirm that it is long enough for a roundtrip from client to server. If your ping interval is too short, slow connections may be misinterpreted as failed connections. A ping interval of 30 seconds is reasonable for most use cases.

  • OkHttp now supports Conscrypt. Conscrypt is a Java Security Provider that integrates BoringSSL into the Java platform. Conscrypt supports more cipher suites than the JVM’s default provider and may also execute more efficiently.

    To use it, first register a Conscrypt dependency in your build system.

    OkHttp will use Conscrypt if you set the okhttp.platform system property to conscrypt.

    Alternatively, OkHttp will also use Conscrypt if you install it as your preferred security provider. To do so, add the following code to execute before you create your OkHttpClient.

    Security.insertProviderAt(
        new org.conscrypt.OpenSSLProvider(), 1);
    

    Conscrypt is the bundled security provider on Android so it is not necessary to configure it on that platform.

  • New: HttpUrl.addQueryParameter() percent-escapes more characters. Previously several ASCII punctuation characters were not percent-escaped when used with this method. This does not impact already-encoded query parameters in APIs like HttpUrl.parse() and HttpUrl.Builder.addEncodedQueryParameter().

  • New: CBC-mode ECDSA cipher suites have been removed from OkHttp’s default configuration: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA. This tracks a Chromium change to remove these cipher suites because they are fragile and rarely-used.
  • New: Don’t fall back to common name (CN) verification for hostnames. This behavior was deprecated with RFC 2818 in May 2000 and was recently dropped from major web browsers.
  • New: Honor the Retry-After response header. HTTP 503 (Unavailable) responses are retried automatically if this header is present and its delay is 0 seconds. HTTP 408 (Client Timeout) responses are retried automatically if the header is absent or its delay is 0 seconds.
  • New: Allow request bodies for all HTTP methods except GET and HEAD.
  • New: Automatic module name of okhttp3 for use with the Java Platform Module System.
  • New: Log gzipped bodies when HttpLoggingInterceptor is used as a network interceptor.
  • New: Protocol.QUIC constant. This protocol is not supported but this constant is included for completeness.
  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.14.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.14.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
    com.squareup.okio:okio:1.14.0
    
  • Fix: Handle HTTP/1.1 100 Continue status lines, even on requests that did not send the Expect: continue request header.

  • Fix: Do not count web sockets toward the dispatcher’s per-host connection limit.
  • Fix: Avoid using invalid HTTPS sessions. This prevents OkHttp from crashing with the error, Unexpected TLS version: NONE.
  • Fix: Don’t corrupt the response cache when a 304 (Not Modified) response overrides the stored “Content-Encoding” header.
  • Fix: Gracefully shut down the HTTP/2 connection before it exhausts the namespace of stream IDs (~536 million streams).
  • Fix: Never pass a null Route to Authenticator. There was a bug where routes were omitted for eagerly-closed connections.

Version 3.9.1

2017-11-18

  • New: Recover gracefully when Android’s DNS crashes with an unexpected NullPointerException.
  • New: Recover gracefully when Android’s socket connections crash with an unexpected ClassCastException.
  • Fix: Don’t include the URL’s fragment in encodedQuery() when the query itself is empty.

Version 3.9.0

2017-09-03

  • Interceptors are more capable. The Chain interface now offers access to the call and can adjust all call timeouts. Note that this change is source-incompatible for code that implements the Chain interface. We don’t expect this to be a problem in practice!

  • OkHttp has an experimental new API for tracking metrics. The new EventListener API is designed to help developers monitor HTTP requests’ size and duration. This feature is an unstable preview: the API is subject to change, and the implementation is incomplete. This is a big new API we are eager for feedback.

  • New: Support ALPN via Google Play Services’ Dynamic Security Provider. This expands HTTP/2 support to older Android devices that have Google Play Services.

  • New: Consider all routes when looking for candidate coalesced connections. This increases the likelihood that HTTP/2 connections will be shared.
  • New: Authentication challenges and credentials now use a charset. Use this in your authenticator to support user names and passwords with non-ASCII characters.
  • New: Accept a charset in FormBody.Builder. Previously form bodies were always UTF-8.
  • New: Support the immutable cache-control directive.
  • Fix: Don’t crash when an HTTP/2 call is redirected while the connection is being shut down.
  • Fix: Don’t drop headers of healthy streams that raced with GOAWAY frames. This bug would cause HTTP/2 streams to occasional hang when the connection was shutting down.
  • Fix: Honor OkHttpClient.retryOnConnectionFailure() when the response is a HTTP 408 Request Timeout. If retries are enabled, OkHttp will retry exactly once in response to a 408.
  • Fix: Don’t crash when reading the empty HEAD response body if it specifies a Content-Length.
  • Fix: Don’t crash if the thread is interrupted while reading the public suffix database.
  • Fix: Use relative resource path when loading the public suffix database. Loading the resource using a path relative to the class prevents conflicts when the OkHttp classes are relocated (shaded) by allowing multiple private copies of the database.
  • Fix: Accept cookies for URLs that have an IPv6 address for a host.
  • Fix: Don’t log the protocol (HTTP/1.1, h2) in HttpLoggingInterceptor if the protocol isn’t negotiated yet! Previously we’d log HTTP/1.1 by default, and this was confusing.
  • Fix: Omit the message from MockWebServer’s HTTP/2 :status header.
  • Fix: Handle ‘Expect: 100 Continue’ properly in MockWebServer.

Version 3.8.1

2017-06-18

  • Fix: Recover gracefully from stale coalesced connections. We had a bug where connection coalescing (introduced in OkHttp 3.7.0) and stale connection recovery could interact to cause a NoSuchElementException crash in the RouteSelector.

Version 3.8.0

2017-05-13

  • OkHttp now uses @Nullable to annotate all possibly-null values. We’ve added a compile-time dependency on the JSR 305 annotations. This is a provided dependency and does not need to be included in your build configuration, .jar file, or .apk. We use @ParametersAreNonnullByDefault and all parameters and return types are never null unless explicitly annotated @Nullable.

  • Warning: this release is source-incompatible for Kotlin users. Nullability was previously ambiguous and lenient but now the compiler will enforce strict null checks.

  • New: The response message is now non-null. This is the “Not Found” in the status line “HTTP 404 Not Found”. If you are building responses programmatically (with new Response.Builder()) you must now always supply a message. An empty string "" is permitted. This value was never null on responses returned by OkHttp itself, and it was an old mistake to permit application code to omit a message.

  • The challenge’s scheme and realm are now non-null. If you are calling new Challenge(scheme, realm) you must provide non-null values. These were never null in challenges created by OkHttp, but could have been null in application code that creates challenges.

  • New: The TlsVersion of a Handshake is now non-null. If you are calling Handshake.get() with a null TLS version, you must instead now provide a non-null TlsVersion. Cache responses persisted prior to OkHttp 3.0 did not store a TLS version; for these unknown values the handshake is defaulted to TlsVersion.SSL_3_0.

  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.13.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.13.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
    com.squareup.okio:okio:1.13.0
    
  • Fix: gracefully recover when Android 7.0’s sockets throw an unexpected NullPointerException.

Version 3.7.0

2017-04-15

  • OkHttp no longer recovers from TLS handshake failures by attempting a TLSv1 connection. The fallback was necessary for servers that implemented version negotiation incorrectly. Now that 99.99% of servers do it right this fallback is obsolete.
  • Fix: Do not honor cookies set on a public domain. Previously a malicious site could inject cookies on top-level domains like co.uk because our cookie parser didn’t honor the public suffix list. Alongside this fix is a new API, HttpUrl.topPrivateDomain(), which returns the privately domain name if the URL has one.
  • Fix: Change MediaType.charset() to return null for unexpected charsets.
  • Fix: Don’t skip cache invalidation if the invalidating response has no body.
  • Fix: Don’t use a cryptographic random number generator for web sockets. Some Android devices implement SecureRandom incorrectly!
  • Fix: Correctly canonicalize IPv6 addresses in HttpUrl. This prevented OkHttp from trusting HTTPS certificates issued to certain IPv6 addresses.
  • Fix: Don’t reuse connections after an unsuccessful Expect: 100-continue.
  • Fix: Handle either TLS_ or SSL_ prefixes for cipher suite names. This is necessary for IBM JVMs that use the SSL_ prefix exclusively.
  • Fix: Reject HTTP/2 data frames if the stream ID is 0.
  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.12.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.12.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
    com.squareup.okio:okio:1.12.0
    
  • New: Connection coalescing. OkHttp may reuse HTTP/2 connections across calls that share an IP address and HTTPS certificate, even if their domain names are different.

  • New: MockWebServer’s RecordedRequest exposes the requested HttpUrl with getRequestUrl().

Version 3.6.0

2017-01-29

  • Fix: Don’t crash with a “cache is closed” error when there is an error initializing the cache.
  • Fix: Calling disconnect() on a connecting HttpUrlConnection could cause it to retry in an infinite loop! This regression was introduced in OkHttp 2.7.0.
  • Fix: Drop cookies that contain ASCII NULL and other bad characters. Previously such cookies would cause OkHttp to crash when they were included in a request.
  • Fix: Release duplicated multiplexed connections. If we concurrently establish connections to an HTTP/2 server, close all but the first connection.
  • Fix: Fail the HTTP/2 connection if first frame isn’t SETTINGS.
  • Fix: Forbid spaces in header names.
  • Fix: Don’t offer to do gzip if the request is partial.
  • Fix: MockWebServer is now usable with JUnit 5. That update broke the rules.
  • New: Support Expect: 100-continue as a request header. Callers can use this header to pessimistically hold off on transmitting a request body until a server gives the go-ahead.
  • New: Permit network interceptors to rewrite the host header for HTTP/2. This makes it possible to do domain fronting.
  • New: charset support for Credentials.basic().

Version 3.5.0

2016-11-30

  • Web Sockets are now a stable feature of OkHttp. Since being introduced as a beta feature in OkHttp 2.3 our web socket client has matured. Connect to a server’s web socket with OkHttpClient.newWebSocket(), send messages with send(), and receive messages with the WebSocketListener.

    The okhttp-ws submodule is no longer available and okhttp-ws artifacts from previous releases of OkHttp are not compatible with OkHttp 3.5. When upgrading to the new package please note that the WebSocket and WebSocketCall classes have been merged. Sending messages is now asynchronous and they may be enqueued before the web socket is connected.

  • OkHttp no longer attempts a direct connection if the system’s HTTP proxy fails. This behavior was surprising because OkHttp was disregarding the user’s specified configuration. If you need to customize proxy fallback behavior, implement your own java.net.ProxySelector.

  • Fix: Support TLSv1.3 on devices that support it.

  • Fix: Share pooled connections across equivalent OkHttpClient instances. Previous releases had a bug where a shared connection pool did not guarantee shared connections in some cases.

  • Fix: Prefer the server’s response body on all conditional cache misses. Previously we would return the cached response’s body if it had a newer Last-Modified date.
  • Fix: Update the stored timestamp on conditional cache hits.
  • New: Optimized HTTP/2 request header encoding. More headers are HPACK-encoded and string literals are now Huffman-encoded.
  • New: Expose Part headers and body in Multipart.
  • New: Make ResponseBody.string() and ResponseBody.charStream() BOM-aware. If your HTTP response body begins with a byte order mark it will be consumed and used to select a charset for the remaining bytes. Most applications should not need a byte order mark.

  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.11.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.11.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
    com.squareup.okio:okio:1.11.0
    
  • Fix: Avoid sending empty HTTP/2 data frames when there is no request body.

  • Fix: Add a leading . for better domain matching in JavaNetCookieJar.
  • Fix: Gracefully recover from HTTP/2 connection shutdowns at start of request.
  • Fix: Be lenient if a MediaType‘s character set is 'single-quoted'.
  • Fix: Allow horizontal tab characters in header values.
  • Fix: When parsing HTTP authentication headers permit challenge parameters in any order.

Version 3.4.2

2016-11-03

  • Fix: Recover gracefully when an HTTP/2 connection is shutdown. We had a bug where shutdown HTTP/2 connections were considered usable. This caused infinite loops when calls attempted to recover.

Version 3.4.1

2016-07-10

  • Fix a major bug in encoding HTTP headers. In 3.4.0 and 3.4.0-RC1 OkHttp had an off-by-one bug in our HPACK encoder. This bug could have caused the wrong headers to be emitted after a sequence of HTTP/2 requests! Everyone who is using OkHttp 3.4.0 or 3.4.0-RC1 should upgrade for this bug fix.

Version 3.4.0

2016-07-08

  • New: Support dynamic table size changes to HPACK Encoder.
  • Fix: Use TreeMap in Headers.toMultimap(). This makes string lookups on the returned map case-insensitive.
  • Fix: Don’t share the OkHttpClient’s Dispatcher in HttpURLConnection.

Version 3.4.0-RC1

2016-07-02

  • We’ve rewritten HttpURLConnection and HttpsURLConnection. Previously we shared a single HTTP engine between two frontend APIs: HttpURLConnection and Call. With this release we’ve rearranged things so that the HttpURLConnection frontend now delegates to the Call APIs internally. This has enabled substantial simplifications and optimizations in the OkHttp core for both frontends.

    For most HTTP requests the consequences of this change will be negligible. If your application uses HttpURLConnection.connect(), setFixedLengthStreamingMode(), or setChunkedStreamingMode(), OkHttp will now use a async dispatcher thread to establish the HTTP connection.

    We don’t expect this change to have any behavior or performance consequences. Regardless, please exercise your OkUrlFactory and HttpURLConnection code when applying this update.

  • Cipher suites may now have arbitrary names. Previously CipherSuite was a Java enum and it was impossible to define new cipher suites without first upgrading OkHttp. With this change it is now a regular Java class with enum-like constants. Application code that uses enum methods on cipher suites (ordinal(), name(), etc.) will break with this change.

  • Fix: CertificatePinner now matches canonicalized hostnames. Previously this was case sensitive. This change should also make it easier to configure certificate pinning for internationalized domain names.

  • Fix: Don’t crash on non-ASCII ETag headers. Previously OkHttp would reject these headers when validating a cached response.
  • Fix: Don’t allow remote peer to arbitrarily size the HPACK decoder dynamic table.
  • Fix: Honor per-host configuration in Android’s network security config. Previously disabling cleartext for any host would disable cleartext for all hosts. Note that this setting is only available on Android 24+.
  • New: HPACK compression is now dynamic. This should improve performance when transmitting request headers over HTTP/2.
  • New: Dispatcher.setIdleCallback() can be used to signal when there are no calls in flight. This is useful for testing with Espresso.
  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.9.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.9.0</version>
    </dependency>
    

Version 3.3.1

2016-05-28

  • Fix: The plaintext check in HttpLoggingInterceptor incorrectly classified newline characters as control characters. This is fixed.
  • Fix: Don’t crash reading non-ASCII characters in HTTP/2 headers or in cached HTTP headers.
  • Fix: Retain the response body when an attempt to open a web socket returns a non-101 response code.

Version 3.3.0

2016-05-24

  • New: Response.sentRequestAtMillis() and receivedResponseAtMillis() methods track the system’s local time when network calls are made. These replace the OkHttp-Sent-Millis and OkHttp-Received-Millis headers that were present in earlier versions of OkHttp.
  • New: Accept user-provided trust managers in OkHttpClient.Builder. This allows OkHttp to satisfy its TLS requirements directly. Otherwise OkHttp will use reflection to extract the TrustManager from the SSLSocketFactory.
  • New: Support prerelease Java 9. This gets ALPN from the platform rather than relying on the alpn-boot bootclasspath override.
  • New: HttpLoggingInterceptor now logs connection failures.
  • New: Upgrade to Okio 1.8.0.

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
      <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
      <version>1.8.0</version>
    </dependency>
    
  • Fix: Gracefully recover from a failure to rebuild the cache journal.

  • Fix: Don’t corrupt cache entries when a cache entry is evicted while it is being updated.
  • Fix: Make logging more consistent throughout OkHttp.
  • Fix: Log plaintext bodies only. This uses simple heuristics to differentiate text from other data.
  • Fix: Recover from REFUSED_STREAM errors in HTTP/2. This should improve interoperability with Nginx 1.10.0, which refuses streams created before HTTP/2 settings have been acknowledged.
  • Fix: Improve recovery from failed routes.
  • Fix: Accommodate tunneling proxies that close the connection after an auth challenge.
  • Fix: Use the proxy authenticator when authenticating HTTP proxies. This regression was introduced in OkHttp 3.0.
  • Fix: Fail fast if network interceptors transform the response body such that closing it doesn’t also close the underlying stream. We had a bug where OkHttp would attempt to reuse a connection but couldn’t because it was still held by a prior request.
  • Fix: Ensure network interceptors always have access to the underlying connection.
  • Fix: Use X509TrustManagerExtensions on Android 17+.
  • Fix: Unblock waiting dispatchers on MockWebServer shutdown.

Version 3.2.0

2016-02-25

  • Fix: Change the certificate pinner to always build full chains. This prevents a potential crash when using certificate pinning with the Google Play Services security provider.
  • Fix: Make IPv6 request lines consistent with Firefox and Chrome.
  • Fix: Recover gracefully when trimming the response cache fails.
  • New: Add multiple path segments using a single string in HttpUrl.Builder.
  • New: Support SHA-256 pins in certificate pinner.

Version 3.1.2

2016-02-10

  • Fix: Don’t crash when finding the trust manager on Robolectric. We attempted to detect the host platform and got confused because Robolectric looks like Android but isn’t!
  • Fix: Change CertificatePinner to skip sanitizing the certificate chain when no certificates were pinned. This avoids an SSL failure in insecure “trust everyone” configurations, such as when talking to a development HTTPS server that has a self-signed certificate.

Version 3.1.1

2016-02-07

  • Fix: Don’t crash when finding the trust manager if the Play Services (GMS) security provider is installed.
  • Fix: The previous release introduced a performance regression on Android, caused by looking up CA certificates. This is now fixed.

Version 3.1.0

2016-02-06

  • New: WebSockets now defer some writes. This should improve performance for some applications.
  • New: Override equals() and hashCode() in our new cookie class. This class now defines equality by value rather than by reference.
  • New: Handle 408 responses by retrying the request. This allows servers to direct clients to retry rather than failing permanently.
  • New: Expose the framed protocol in Connection. Previously this would return the application-layer protocol (HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0); now it always returns the wire-layer protocol (HTTP/2, SPDY/3.1, or HTTP/1.1).
  • Fix: Permit the trusted CA root to be pinned by CertificatePinner.
  • Fix: Silently ignore unknown HTTP/2 settings. Previously this would cause the entire connection to fail.
  • Fix: Don’t crash on unexpected charsets in the logging interceptor.
  • Fix: OkHttpClient is now non-final for the benefit of mocking frameworks. Mocking sophisticated classes like OkHttpClient is fragile and you shouldn’t do it. But if that’s how you want to live your life we won’t stand in your way!

Version 3.0.1

2016-01-14

  • Rollback OSGi support. This was causing library jars to include more classes than expected, which interfered with Gradle builds.

Version 3.0.0

2016-01-13

This release commits to a stable 3.0 API. Read the 3.0.0-RC1 changes for advice on upgrading from 2.x to 3.x.

  • The Callback interface now takes a Call. This makes it easier to check if the call was canceled from within the callback. When migrating async calls to this new API, Call is now the first parameter for both onResponse() and onFailure().
  • Fix: handle multiple cookies in JavaNetCookieJar on Android.
  • Fix: improve the default HTTP message in MockWebServer responses.
  • Fix: don’t leak file handles when a conditional GET throws.
  • Fix: Use charset specified by the request body content type in OkHttp’s logging interceptor.
  • Fix: Don’t eagerly release pools on cache hits.
  • New: Make OkHttp OSGi ready.
  • New: Add already-implemented interfaces Closeable and Flushable to the cache.

Version 3.0.0-RC1

2016-01-02

OkHttp 3 is a major release focused on API simplicity and consistency. The API changes are numerous but most are cosmetic. Applications should be able to upgrade from the 2.x API to the 3.x API mechanically and without risk.

Because the release includes breaking API changes, we’re changing the project’s package name from com.squareup.okhttp to okhttp3. This should make it possible for large applications to migrate incrementally. The Maven group ID is now com.squareup.okhttp3. For an explanation of this strategy, see Jake Wharton’s post, Java Interoperability Policy for Major Version Updates.

This release obsoletes OkHttp 2.x, and all code that uses OkHttp’s com.squareup.okhttp package should upgrade to the okhttp3 package. Libraries that depend on OkHttp should upgrade quickly to prevent applications from being stuck on the old version.

  • There is no longer a global singleton connection pool. In OkHttp 2.x, all OkHttpClient instances shared a common connection pool by default. In OkHttp 3.x, each new OkHttpClient gets its own private connection pool. Applications should avoid creating many connection pools as doing so prevents connection reuse. Each connection pool holds its own set of connections alive so applications that have many pools also risk exhausting memory!

    The best practice in OkHttp 3 is to create a single OkHttpClient instance and share it throughout the application. Requests that needs a customized client should call OkHttpClient.newBuilder() on that shared instance. This allows customization without the drawbacks of separate connection pools.

  • OkHttpClient is now stateless. In the 2.x API OkHttpClient had getters and setters. Internally each request was forced to make its own complete snapshot of the OkHttpClient instance to defend against racy configuration changes. In 3.x, OkHttpClient is now stateless and has a builder. Note that this class is not strictly immutable as it has stateful members like the connection pool and cache.

  • Get and Set prefixes are now avoided. With ubiquitous builders throughout OkHttp these accessor prefixes aren’t necessary. Previously OkHttp used get and set prefixes sporadically which make the API inconsistent and awkward to explore.

  • OkHttpClient now implements the new Call.Factory interface. This interface will make your code easier to test. When you test code that makes HTTP requests, you can use this interface to replace the real OkHttpClient with your own mocks or fakes.

    The interface will also let you use OkHttp’s API with another HTTP client’s implementation. This is useful in sandboxed environments like Google App Engine.

  • OkHttp now does cookies. We’ve replaced java.net.CookieHandler with a new interface, CookieJar and added our own Cookie model class. This new cookie follows the latest RFC and supports the same cookie attributes as modern web browsers.

  • Form and Multipart bodies are now modeled. We’ve replaced the opaque FormEncodingBuilder with the more powerful FormBody and FormBody.Builder combo. Similarly we’ve upgraded MultipartBuilder into MultipartBody, MultipartBody.Part, and MultipartBody.Builder.

  • The Apache HTTP client and HttpURLConnection APIs are deprecated. They continue to work as they always have, but we’re moving everything to the new OkHttp 3 API. The okhttp-apache and okhttp-urlconnection modules should be only be used to accelerate a transition to OkHttp’s request/response API. These deprecated modules will be dropped in an upcoming OkHttp 3.x release.

  • Canceling batches of calls is now the application’s responsibility. The API to cancel calls by tag has been removed and replaced with a more general mechanism. The dispatcher now exposes all in-flight calls via its runningCalls() and queuedCalls() methods. You can write code that selects calls by tag, host, or whatever, and invokes Call.cancel() on the ones that are no longer necessary.

  • OkHttp no longer uses the global java.net.Authenticator by default. We’ve changed our Authenticator interface to authenticate web and proxy authentication failures through a single method. An adapter for the old authenticator is available in the okhttp-urlconnection module.

  • Fix: Don’t throw IOException on ResponseBody.contentLength() or close().

  • Fix: Never throw converting an HttpUrl to a java.net.URI. This changes the uri() method to handle malformed percent-escapes and characters forbidden by URI.
  • Fix: When a connect times out, attempt an alternate route. Previously route selection was less efficient when differentiating failures.
  • New: Response.peekBody() lets you access the response body without consuming it. This may be handy for interceptors!
  • New: HttpUrl.newBuilder() resolves a link to a builder.
  • New: Add the TLS version to the Handshake.
  • New: Drop Request.uri() and Request#urlString(). Just use Request.url().uri() and Request.url().toString().
  • New: Add URL to HTTP response logging.
  • New: Make HttpUrl the blessed URL method of Request.
