Summary

validate_url resolves a hostname and checks the addresses it gets back. The
client then resolves the same hostname again when it opens the connection. A
server that answers differently the second time is checked on one address and
dialed on another.

This change wires a resolver into the aiohttp TCPConnector. The client now
resolves and filters once, then hands the connector the addresses it already
validated. The hostname still drives TLS SNI and certificate verification. The
resolver returns every address that passed, so aiohttp keeps its normal
multi-address fallback. The Rust frontend uses the same mechanism on reqwest's
dns_resolver in lib/llm/src/preprocessor/media/loader.rs.

The connector may return private addresses only when the
DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL deployment baseline and the request policy both allow
it, so neither side alone can weaken the other. The client keeps one session
per outcome, at most two, and closes each resolver itself, because aiohttp
closes only a resolver it created.

Scope

Two limits apply. The module docstring and the README record both.

A proxied fetch fails closed. The session runs with trust_env=True. When a
proxy applies, the connector dials the proxy, and the proxy resolves the origin
address out of this resolver's sight, so the check cannot govern the
destination. A policy-protected fetch that a proxy would carry is therefore
refused, naming DYN_MM_TRUST_EGRESS_PROXY. Set that to 1 to assert that the
proxy enforces destination policy itself and the fetch proceeds. The gate asks
aiohttp which proxy applies to that one URL, so NO_PROXY is honored and a
fetch that goes direct is never refused. It does not run under
DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL=1, which already permits private destinations.

This is a behavior change for a deployment that relies on an ambient proxy
today. Such a deployment must set DYN_MM_TRUST_EGRESS_PROXY=1.

An IP literal never reaches a resolver. aiohttp short-circuits literals in
TCPConnector._resolve_host. Literal addresses stay the job of validate_url.

Files

  • _ssrf_resolver.py: new BlocklistResolver and SsrfBlockedAddress, and the proxy exemption.
  • aiohttp_client.py: wire the resolver onto the shared TCPConnector.
  • __init__.py and README.md: record what the resolver covers and what it does not.
  • test_ssrf_resolver.py: seven tests. They cover keep-the-rest, fail-closed, the allow_private_ips bypass, the proxy exemption, a non-proxy host at the same address, the bounded message, and the reason reaching strerror.
  • test_aiohttp_client.py: two tests. One proves the connector carries the resolver. One proves a permissive per-call policy does not loosen it.
  • tests/report_pytest_markers.py: stub aiohttp.abc, aiohttp.helpers, and aiohttp.resolver so the marker report can collect.

Validation

Measured in the dynamo-runtime-test image on an AMD64 box, Python 3.12.3 with
aiohttp 3.14.3, and again on macOS ARM64. Both give the same result.

A fetch to http://localhost:PORT/x.png exercises the resolver, because
localhost is a hostname and 127.0.0.1 is a blocked address. The per-call
policy was allow_private_ips=True in both runs below.

DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL unset : BLOCKED, HttpConnectionError: Connection error loading
    http://localhost:41101/x.png: Cannot connect to host localhost:41101
    ssl:default [host localhost resolves only to blocked IPs]
DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL=1     : ALLOWED, body=b'ok'

The second line is the control. The server works, so the block came from the
resolver, and the permissive per-call policy did not loosen it.

The proxy exemption, measured against a stub proxy on 127.0.0.1:

with proxy exemption   : OK, body=b'proxied'
without the exemption  : HttpConnectionError: Cannot connect to host localhost:41965
                         ssl:default [host localhost resolves only to blocked IPs]
control non-proxy host : HttpConnectionError: Cannot connect to host localhost:41965
                         ssl:default [host localhost resolves only to blocked IPs]

The third line shows the exemption is narrow. A host that is not the configured
proxy is still filtered at the same blocked address.

Unit tests and static checks:

  • pytest components/src/dynamo/common/tests/http/: 116 passed.
  • Remove the resolver= argument and both wiring tests fail. Restore it and they pass. The other tests do not change in either direction.
  • mypy --explicit-package-bases over the CI target set: 850 files, no error in any changed file.
  • pre-commit run --all-files: exit 0. Without the three stub entries the marker report reports 49 collection errors.

… SSRF

The image-diffusion handler passed the client-supplied input_reference
straight through as the generator's image_path, so a client could point
it at an arbitrary local file (path traversal / LFI) or an internal URL
(SSRF). Validate it first via the existing url_validator: local paths are
confined to DYN_MM_LOCAL_PATH with traversal rejected, and URLs are
blocked from resolving to internal / non-public addresses.

Behavior note: local I2I references now require DYN_MM_LOCAL_PATH to be
set to the allowed directory.

Video (I2V) had the same unvalidated input_reference -> image_path passthrough
as image diffusion. Promote the validation to a shared validate_media_reference
in url_validator (returns a plain path for local refs, SSRF-guards URLs) and use
it from both the image and video diffusion handlers.

Thanks @rmccorm4 — this was the right call. Reworked to mirror the Rust reference (reqwest dns_resolver in lib/llm/src/preprocessor/media/loader.rs) and dropped the httpx approach that caused most of these:

httpx — removed the URL-rewriting pinning transport (addresses the pool-keying/TLS-isolation P1, the request-mutation/relative-redirect P2, the SNI-inheritance P2, the Happy-Eyeballs P2, the DNS-outside-connect-budget P2, and the explicit-transport-disables-env-proxy P2). httpx has no DNS-resolver hook, so faking it at the URL layer was the root cause. On the httpx backend we now rely on the pre-check + per-hop redirect revalidation already in base.py (which closes the wide SSRF); the narrow DNS-rebind residual (DSEC-26, Low) is accepted there and documented. If httpx ever needs the full guarantee, the correct place is the httpcore connection layer, not the URL.

aiohttp (default) — kept the TCPConnector(resolver=...), which is the same mechanism as reqwest’s dns_resolver: resolve+filter once, hand the connector the validated addresses to dial, keep the hostname for SNI/cert. It already returns the full non-blocked set, so multi-address/Happy-Eyeballs is preserved.

Proxy (P1) — real, and identical in Rust. The resolver governs direct connections only; behind an egress proxy the proxy resolves the origin, so the resolver can neither protect it nor should it block the (often private) proxy address. The Rust client has the same property (reqwest honors env proxies and doesn’t govern proxied-origin DNS). I’ve documented this as a network-layer enforcement boundary for now. Open decision: for SSRF-protected media fetches, do we (a) disable proxy so the resolver governs every connection, or (b) keep proxy support and require SSRF enforcement at the proxy? Happy to align Rust + Python on whichever we pick.

Per-call policy (P2): the shared connector is deliberately keyed to the env baseline — a per-request allow_private_ips=True must not loosen the shared client’s SSRF backstop. We can key the connector by policy if we want true per-call semantics; flagging it as a contract choice rather than silently freezing.

Separately: since httpx is the only backend without a resolver hook, one clean follow-up is to consolidate to aiohttp-only (it’s the default; httpx is a DYN_HTTP_BACKEND alternate), which removes this backend-asymmetry entirely. Worth a discussion.

The redirect-SSRF P1 on #14435 is a separate, valid issue (the diffusion generator fetches URLs itself) — addressing that on that PR by fetching through the policy-aware client and passing a local path.

Follow-up: I opened #14563 to consolidate the HTTP client to aiohttp-only and remove the httpx backend entirely. Rationale is the same thread as here — httpx has no DNS-resolver hook (so the connect-time SSRF pin cant be done without the URL-rewrite hacks you flagged), plus it hit httpx.PoolTimeout under fan-out and only survived behind a semaphore workaround. aiohttp is strictly better on both counts.

Once #14563 lands, the "httpx relies on pre-check only" caveat in this PR is moot — there is no httpx backend, and the aiohttp TCPConnector(resolver=...) (the reqwest-dns_resolver parity mechanism) governs every fetch. These two PRs are independent: whichever merges first, the other rebases trivially.

On "could httpx be fixed correctly?" — yes, but not at the URL layer: the right hook is a custom httpcore.AsyncNetworkBackend whose connect_tcp(host, port, ...) resolves + filters + dials a validated IP while httpcore keeps the original hostname for pool-keying and TLS/SNI. That addresses the pool/TLS-isolation and relative-redirect issues (the proxy caveat is universal — direct-connection scope). But since #14563 deletes httpx, building a correct httpx backend would be throwaway, so consolidation supersedes it.

:robot_face: Restacked this on top of #14563 (aiohttp-only consolidation) per discussion — the branch was rebased so its diff is now only the aiohttp resolver (3 files); the httpx backend is deleted in the base, so all the httpx URL-rewrite findings are gone by construction. The aiohttp resolver logic is unchanged from the last revision. (Rebase = force-push; @coderabbitai full review if a fresh pass is wanted.)

rmccorm4 P1: validate_media_reference blocks the initial URL, but a URL
was still handed to the DiffGenerator, which fetches it and follows
redirects with only a scheme check — so an allowed origin could 302 to an
internal address (redirect SSRF), separate from DNS rebinding.

Add local_media_reference(): a URL is fetched through the policy-aware
client (which revalidates every redirect hop) into a temp file, and the
generator is handed that trusted local path; local references pass through
unchanged. Wire both the image-diffusion and video-generation handlers to
it via an AsyncExitStack so the temp file is cleaned after generation.

validate_local_path embeds the client-supplied path in three of its
messages. Those messages are returned to the caller and written to a log
line, and input_reference has no length limit, so a 200 KB reference
produced a 200 KB error string at every sink (measured: len(str(exc)) ==
200023). describe_media_source already exists for exactly this, but lives
in multimodal.media_source, which cannot be imported from here -- its
package __init__ pulls in torch. Move it next to the validators and
re-export it from media_source, which is where callers import it from.

The label is a no-op below 120 characters, so existing messages are
unchanged; the configured allowed directory is dropped from the
"outside the allowed directory" message, since callers surface that text
to the client and the path is deployment detail.

Two smaller fixes in the same file:

- An embedded NUL makes Path.resolve() raise ValueError, not OSError, so
  it escaped validate_local_path untyped. %00 reaches it as a real NUL
  now that file:// paths are percent-decoded (92201a2), and callers
  key their 4xx-vs-5xx decision on UrlValidationError -- image_loader.py
  and video_loader.py both say so in comments. Measured before/after on
  file://<dir>/x%00.png: UrlValidationError -> ValueError -> back to
  UrlValidationError.
- validate_media_reference gained validate_media_url's empty-input guard.

…ffer

Nothing in the HTTP facade bounded a response body, which only became
reachable for diffusion once this PR moved the download here. SGLang's
get_image_bytes sends an http(s) image_path through download_remote_media,
which streams under media_url_max_file_size_mb (default 64 MiB, sglang
0.5.18 server_args.py:2804); handing the generator a local path instead
takes its plain open() branch, where that limit never runs. Measured on
the PR as it stood: a 64 MiB body became a 64 MiB temp file with peak RSS
going 72 -> 214 MB.

fetch_bytes takes max_bytes and both backends stream through
collect_capped, which counts as the body arrives. Two things it has to do
that a simpler check does not: a declared Content-Length is
attacker-controlled and absent on a chunked response, and aiohttp's
read(n) returns *at most* n bytes -- measured returning 65328 for
read(1 MiB + 1) -- so a single capped read sees a short body and passes
it. Exceeding the cap raises UrlValidationError, matching how the
redirect cap in the same loop already reports a verdict on a
client-supplied URL.

httpx needs stream=True to stop before buffering, so its response fakes
move from client.get to build_request/send; the aiohttp fake grows the
response.content reader the cap streams from.

Verified against a real local server on both backends, declared and
chunked, with the SSRF redirect control still blocking:
  aiohttp  64 MiB decl.  -> UrlValidationError, peak RSS 72->74 MB
  aiohttp  64 MiB chunked-> UrlValidationError, peak RSS 74->78 MB
  httpx    both          -> UrlValidationError, peak RSS flat
  302 -> 169.254.169.254 -> UrlValidationError (IP literal blocked)

max_bytes defaults to None, so every existing caller is unchanged.

The module promises callers "a trusted local path, never a URL", and
three things broke that promise.

- validate_url returns data: URLs unchanged, so a data: reference fell
  through to `yield resolved` and the generator was handed the URI as
  image_path. Measured: local_media_reference("data:image/png;base64,...")
  yielded the URI itself, os.path.exists() False. Rejected now, with the
  reference described rather than echoed -- a data: URI is the payload,
  so a 200 KB one would otherwise land whole in the error.
- The temp-file suffix came from the client's URL path with no bound. A
  300-character extension reached mkstemp and raised
  "OSError: [Errno 63] File name too long: /var/folders/.../tmpXXXX.aaa…",
  an unhandled type carrying the server's temp directory to the caller.
  Only a short alphanumeric extension survives now; anything else is
  dropped, which also keeps a percent-encoded separator out of the name.
- The download is capped at MAX_MEDIA_BYTES (64 MiB, matching the SGLang
  default this path used to go through).

Also corrects the "Lazy import" comment: importing this module already
executes the http package __init__, so nothing is deferred. The import
stays inside the function for the reason that is actually true -- it is
the seam tests monkeypatch.

Merging main brought in #13000, which stopped the image handler
swallowing exceptions into a 200 with an empty body: it now lets them
reach the runtime, where InvalidArgument becomes a 400 carrying the
reason and everything else becomes a sanitized 500. UrlValidationError is
a plain ValueError, so a rejected input_reference took the second path
and the client learned nothing about its own bad request. It also broke
this PR's own test, which still expected the yielded {"error": ...}
payload -- verified failing at the merge commit before this change.

Map UrlValidationError to InvalidArgument at the call site. Transport
failures (timeout, 404) are left alone: an unreachable origin is not
necessarily the caller's fault.

The video handler keeps its own error channel (VideoGenerationResponse
has an error field, so it is not silent); giving it #13000's treatment is
a separate change.

Tests: the rejection test now asserts the 400, and a new one asserts the
client-visible message stays bounded when the reference does not. The
video handler had no test at all, so the shared validation could have
been dropped from it alone with every test still green -- covered now,
and confirmed by removing the validation and watching three of the four
fail. Both "resolved path" assertions were rewritten to send a
"sub/.." segment, because an already-normalized tmp_path resolves to
itself on Linux and the assertion held even with no resolution.

#14435 landed on main as 7a77a5d, so the stack this branch sat on is now
upstream. Five paths conflicted, and four of them are purely #14435's payload
where this branch carries the older stacked copy and main has the final --
base.py, media_reference.py, test_media_reference.py, test_http_facade.py all
take main's, which includes the later review fixes the branch predates
(exc.strerror, the data-URI bound, DYN_MM_MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB, the aiohttp comment
rewording).

aiohttp_client.py is the one with real content on both sides: main's version
carries #14563's timeout/session work and #14435's collect_capped/max_bytes,
this branch adds the BlocklistResolver wiring. Took main's and re-applied the
wiring verbatim.

README.md, __init__.py, _ssrf_resolver.py, aiohttp_client.py and

…backstop

Three problems in the resolver as written, all found by review and confirmed by
running it.

An egress proxy on a private address was filtered out. The session runs with
trust_env=True, so with HTTP_PROXY set the connector dials the proxy, and it is
the proxy's own address that reaches this resolver -- the origin is resolved by
the proxy, out of our sight. Measured before this change: HTTP_PROXY at a
private host turned every fetch into ClientConnectorDNSError, so a deployment
behind a corporate proxy had to choose between broken egress and setting
DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL=1, which disables the backstop entirely. The configured
proxy is now exempt; measured after, the same request reaches the proxy while
the rebind case still blocks.

BlocklistResolver fell back to None if the aiohttp import failed, and the call
site skipped wiring the resolver when it was None -- a security backstop that
silently disappears. aiohttp_client.py imports aiohttp at module scope, so the
fallback was unreachable anyway. Removed both, which also let mypy see the class
and surface four wrong annotations: resolve() returns list[ResolveResult] and
takes socket.AddressFamily, per aiohttp's AbstractResolver.

The blocked-host message interpolated the raw hostname, which is caller-supplied
and unbounded, on a path where it reaches an error response and a log line
through the facade's connection error. Bounded with describe_media_source, as
every other message on this path already is.

Documented the scope in README.md and __init__.py: the backstop governs direct
connections, proxied fetches are the proxy's or the network's to enforce, and
aiohttp never calls a resolver for an IP literal so those stay validate_url's
job.

Tests cover the proxy exemption, a non-proxy host still being filtered, and the
bounded message. One note for whoever reads them: aiohttp's proxies_from_env()
prefers the lowercase http_proxy, and an image that already sets one will
override an uppercase-only setenv -- the tests clear both.

113 pass in common/tests/http; ruff and mypy clean.

Building the connector through a dict(...) of numeric kwargs made mypy
infer dict[str, float], so both assigning the resolver into it and
splatting the result into TCPConnector failed -- 12 errors, all in this
file, on the dynamo-runtime / mypy job. Pass the arguments directly.

Also add the two tests that would have caught a dropped resolver=:
nothing asserted _build_session installs it, so the resolver's own unit
tests stay green either way. Both fail with the wiring removed and pass
with it; the other 113 are unaffected in both directions.

The marker report stubs "aiohttp" but not its submodules, and a stubbed
parent exposes none. The connect-time resolver imports aiohttp.abc,
aiohttp.helpers and aiohttp.resolver, so every test whose import graph
reaches dynamo.common.http failed to collect -- 49 collection errors,
and the pre-commit job red.

Adding the three submodules takes the hook from 49 collection errors to
0 and the collected total from 4528 to 5799 tests; removing them again
reproduces the exact ModuleNotFoundError from the job log.

aiohttp wraps the resolver's OSError in ClientConnectorDNSError and renders
strerror, not str(exc). The one-argument OSError form leaves strerror as None,
so the caller received "Cannot connect to host ... [None]" and the reason was
dropped at the one place an operator reads it. The message was already bounded
for this path, and none of it arrived.

Measured before and after in the dynamo-runtime-test image on the AMD64 box.
Before: "... ssl:default [None]". After: "... ssl:default [host localhost
resolves only to blocked IPs]".

The new test asserts both strerror and errno. It fails on the one-argument form
and passes on the two-argument form, and the other 115 tests do not change in
either direction. errno is EHOSTUNREACH by name because the number differs by
platform: 113 on Linux, 65 on macOS.

Three findings from review, all reproduced before changing anything.

The connect-time resolver read only DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL, so a deployment
that allows private addresses overrode a caller that asked for
allow_private_ips=False. Measured with a simulated rebind: the strict request
reached the private origin and returned its body. The connect-time flag is now
the intersection of the deployment baseline and the request policy, so neither
side alone can weaken the other. The client keeps one session per outcome,
at most two. After the change the same strict request is blocked, and a
permissive request still reaches the origin, which shows the block is the
policy and not a broken probe.

TCPConnector sets _resolver_owner=False for a resolver it did not create and
closes only its own, so closing the session never closed ours. Measured: zero
calls to BlocklistResolver.close() after session close. The client now holds
each resolver and closes it after the sessions.

_fetch_simple and _fetch_body_or_redirect take the policy so the backend can
pick the connector. Both are abstract, so every implementer was re-audited:
AiohttpClient is the only production one, and three test doubles took the new
keyword.

Each fix has a test that fails when that fix alone is reverted. 118 pass.

When a proxy applies, the connector dials the proxy and the proxy resolves the
origin, so the origin hostname never reaches the connect-time check. Measured:
the resolver saw only the proxy host, while the proxy received the absolute URI
http://example.com/x.png. Recording that boundary in the README did not enforce
it, so a rebinding origin still passed the first lookup and was dialed through
the proxy unchecked.

A policy-protected fetch that a proxy would carry now fails closed, naming
DYN_MM_TRUST_EGRESS_PROXY. Setting it to 1 asserts that the proxy enforces
destination policy, and the fetch proceeds. The gate does not run when
DYN_MM_ALLOW_INTERNAL=1, which already permits private destinations.

The gate asks aiohttp which proxy applies to that one URL rather than whether
any proxy variable is set, so NO_PROXY is honored and a fetch that goes direct
is never refused. Reverting that to a "any proxy configured" check fails
test_no_proxy_exempts_a_host_from_the_gate; an earlier version of that test
passed either way and pinned nothing, so it now asserts the helper directly.

It raises HttpError, not UrlValidationError. This is an operator configuration
fault rather than a verdict on the caller's URL, and media_connector re-raises
UrlValidationError as a client error while falling back on ValueError. HttpError
is neither, so it propagates.

Tests clear the proxy environment in conftest. Without that, a developer machine
or CI runner behind an ambient http_proxy fails tests unrelated to proxies; this
machine has one, and it failed seven.

This is a behavior change for deployments that rely on an ambient proxy today.
They must set DYN_MM_TRUST_EGRESS_PROXY=1.

Four findings from review, each reproduced before changing anything.

The gate raised HttpError, and AudioLoader.load_audio and VideoLoader.load_video
convert unknown exceptions into ValueError, which py_err_to_dynamo maps to
InvalidArgument. Measured in the vllm-runtime-test image: an HttpError went in
and builtins.ValueError came out, so audio and video clients received a 4xx for
a deployment fault. My earlier reply claimed HttpError propagated; that held
only for media_connector.fetch_image_async, not these two loaders. There is now
an HttpConfigurationError subtype, and all three loaders preserve it.

get_env_proxy_for_url does proxy-bypass discovery and .netrc reads. aiohttp
calls it through asyncio.to_thread (client.py:777) for that reason, while the
gate called it inline on the event loop for every protected hop. It is now
awaited through asyncio.to_thread as well.

Two pools can coexist, each with the full max_connections, so the total can
reach twice the value that DYN_HTTP_MAX_CONNECTIONS described as a total cap.
Measured: 100 and 100, aggregate 200. The help text now describes the cap per
connect-time policy and names the condition. Note the second pool cannot appear
in the default configuration, where the connect policy is always strict
whatever a caller passes; both facts are now pinned by tests.

A test built a session through _build_session, which does not register it, so
client.close() closed the resolver and left the session open. Measured
session.closed False after close. It builds through _get_session now and
asserts closure.

Each fix fails its own test when reverted alone, including the two loader tests
run in the image on the AMD64 box.

This exempts the hostname regardless of whether the connection is actually going through a proxy:

if self._allow_private_ips or host in self._proxy_hosts:
    return hosts

With HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.review.test:3128 and NO_PROXY=proxy.review.test, a direct HTTPS request to that hostname on another port bypasses filtering. I reproduced this with the default strict policy: validation received a public DNS answer, connection-time resolution returned loopback, and the private test server received the request. Neither private-access permission nor proxy trust was enabled; the equivalent non-proxy hostname was blocked.

Can the exemption be confined to actual proxy connections, keeping direct/NO_PROXY origin lookups filtered even when their hostname matches a configured proxy? Please add this case alongside a successful trusted-private-proxy control.

Thanks. #15780 fixes this (commit e704eec).

The exemption now applies only on connections that dial the proxy. A fetch that a trusted proxy carries runs on its own session. Only the resolver of that session exempts the proxy, and only at the proxy's own host and port. Direct fetches, including the ones that NO_PROXY covers, run on a session whose resolver exempts nothing.

I did not use one shared connector with a per-request flag, because aiohttp caches DNS answers per connector, keyed by (host, port). An exemption keyed on host and port alone still exempted a direct fetch to the proxy's own port.

test_proxy_connections.py has these tests:

  • Your case, over HTTPS and over HTTP.
  • A direct fetch to the proxy's own port.
  • A direct fetch after a proxied fetch filled the DNS cache.
  • A trusted private proxy that still works.
  • The same host name with no proxy setting.

The direct-fetch tests and the cached-answer test fail on main and pass with the fix. The two controls pass on both.

Please preserve HttpConfigurationError in TRT-LLM’s direct video-fetch path too. That path calls fetch_bytes() independently of the common VideoLoader, then its generic handler assigns:

status if isinstance(status, int) and status >= 400 else 400

The new error has no status, so a valid video request through an untrusted configured proxy becomes HTTP 400. I confirmed HttpStatusError(status=400) with HttpConfigurationError as its cause.

Import the new exception in trtllm/multimodal_processor.py and preserve it before the generic handler:

except HttpConfigurationError:
    raise
except Exception as e:
    # existing fallback
    ...

This is an illustrative fix; please add a processor-level regression test.

Thanks, I reproduced this and fixed it in #15780 (commit 214eef9).

On main, process_openai_request raised HttpStatusError with status 400 and HttpConfigurationError as its cause. The request fetched https://93.184.216.34/v.mp4 with HTTPS_PROXY set and the proxy not trusted. The video path now re-raises HttpConfigurationError before the generic handler. The import line is the same as the one in #14373.

The new processor test, test_video_through_an_untrusted_proxy_is_not_a_client_error, drives the real shared client. It fails on main with the 400 and passes with the fix.

I also traced the other callers of fetch_bytes. None of them turns HttpConfigurationError into a 4xx.

One path still ends in a 400, and it is not specific to this error. A TensorRT-LLM prefill worker receives any exception from a separate encode worker as a ValueError (check_response_error in lib/bindings/python/rust/errors.rs). The frontend answers a ValueError with 400. I found this by reading the code, not in a running deployment, so I left it for a separate change.

Other callers, with the same untrusted proxy.
Caller Result
local_media_reference raises HttpConfigurationError
SGLang image diffusion, input_reference raises HttpConfigurationError
SGLang video generation, input_reference yields status: "failed", as it does for every error
SGLang encode worker, both fetch sites raises HttpConfigurationError, and generate re-raises it
ImageLoader.load_image, AudioLoader.load_audio, VideoLoader.load_video raises HttpConfigurationError
the three load_*_batch functions raises Exception with the message, which maps to 500

(cherry picked from commit 848206e)

Conflict resolution for release/1.5.1:

- tests/report_pytest_markers.py: This pick adds only the three aiohttp
  stubs of #14474 and their comment. The "aiohttp.test_utils" stub next
  to them on main comes from #14377, which release/1.5.1 does not have.
