node:http: ServerResponse write()/end() observe a handler-destroyed socket

[robobun]

What

Three ServerResponse.prototype.end() paths returned without ever setting finished / writableEnded, and write() on a dead socket reported true:

1. A request handler calls req.socket.destroy() and then writes to the response: res.write() returns true (reporting the bytes as buffered) and res.end() is a silent no-op that leaves finished / writableEnded at false.
2. A standalone new ServerResponse(req) (no native handle; light-my-request / fastify inject) that calls writeHead() before end(): the !handle fallback returned this without setting finished once _header was rendered.

Repro

import http from 'node:http';
const log = [];
const srv = http.createServer((rq, rs) => {
  srv.close(); rq.socket.destroy();
  const w = rs.write('body'); rs.end('done');
  log.push('write=' + w + ' finished=' + rs.finished + ' writableEnded=' + rs.writableEnded);
});
await new Promise(r => srv.listen(0, '127.0.0.1', r));
try { await fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:${srv.address().port}/`); } catch {}
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 150));
console.log(JSON.stringify(log));

node v26.3.0 : ["write=false finished=true writableEnded=true", ...]
bun (before) : ["write=true finished=false writableEnded=false", ...]
bun (after)  : ["write=false finished=true writableEnded=true", ...]

import { ServerResponse, IncomingMessage } from 'node:http';
const res = new ServerResponse(new IncomingMessage(null));
res.writeHead(403);
res.end('forbidden');
console.log(res.writableEnded);  // node: true, bun (before): false, bun (after): true

Cause

ServerResponse.prototype.end had an if (handle?.aborted) return this early return, and both write() and end() had a flags & closed_or_completed check that returned true without updating any writable-side state. Separately, the !handle branch skipped the OutgoingMessage.end() delegation when _header was already set (writeHead already called) and returned without setting finished.

Node.js's OutgoingMessage._writeRaw() returns false once the assigned socket is destroyed, and OutgoingMessage.end() sets finished = true unconditionally; on a destroyed socket the finish callback handed to _send is dropped by the conn.destroyed branch, so 'prefinish' fires but 'finish' never does.

Fix

In src/js/node/_http_server.ts:

• write(): return false on a closed/completed native handle instead of true; the write callback is dropped (never invoked), matching Node.js.
• end() with a closed/completed native handle: drop the redundant handle?.aborted early return. Set _header, dump the request, set finished = true, emit 'prefinish', and return this without calling into the native handle or scheduling 'finish' / the end callback. 'close' is emitted by the existing socket-close path.
• end() with no native handle: always delegate to OutgoingMessage.prototype.end, so finished is set and the header/body are buffered into outputData regardless of whether writeHead() was called first. The previous fallback also invoked the end callback via nextTick, which Node.js does not do (it registers it on 'finish').

Verification

New test in test/js/node/http/node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts destroys req.socket from inside the handler, then asserts write() === false, finished === true, writableEnded === true, and the event sequence ['res.prefinish', 'res.close'] (no 'finish').

New test in test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts covers the standalone writeHead() + end() path: finished / writableEnded are true, outputData is populated, and the end callback is not invoked via nextTick.

Both fail on main; both pass with this change and match Node v26.3.0. node-http.test.ts, node-http-backpressure.test.ts, node-http-transfer-encoding.test.ts, node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts, and the test-http-outgoing-* / test-http-pipeline-* / test-http-server-response-standalone / test-http-writable-true-after-close parallel scripts all pass unchanged.

Found 2 issues this PR may fix:

1. ServerResponse.end() should always result in writableEnded being set to/returning true #25632 - PR directly fixes end() not setting writableEnded = true when the socket is already destroyed
2. http.ServerResponse emits neither "finish" nor "close" after aborted request #30571 - PR partially addresses this by making end() set finished/writableEnded and emit prefinish after client abort (the missing close event is a separate socket-layer issue)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

[robobun]

Checked the two suggested issues against main (e72299b) and this branch:

• ServerResponse.end() should always result in writableEnded being set to/returning true #25632 (standalone ServerResponse#end leaving writableEnded false): reproduces on main when writeHead() is called before end() on a handle-less response (the !handle fallback returned without setting finished once _header was rendered). Now folded into this PR (commit 3f23183); the PR body has Fixes #25632.
• http.ServerResponse emits neither "finish" nor "close" after aborted request #30571 (no 'close' after client abort then res.end()): already fixed on main; the repro prints close / event count: 1 on both main and this branch. Closed that issue (and the duplicate node:http ServerResponse doesn't emit close event #14697) directly.

[claude]

I didn't find any bugs, but this changes observable behavior in ServerResponse.prototype.write() / end() — the most heavily exercised path in the node:http compat layer — so it's worth a human look.

What was reviewed:

• Verified handle.aborted ≡ Flags::SOCKET_CLOSED (NodeHTTPResponse.rs:764), so it is a strict subset of closed_or_completed and the removed early return is indeed redundant.
• Checked that hasServerResponseFinished (via this.finished) prevents a second end() from re-emitting 'prefinish'.
• Confirmed the new closed-path block mirrors the existing fall-through block (same _header/req._dump()/markResponseEndedNT sequence, minus 'finish'/_callPendingCallbacks).
• Test awaits real events, no sleeps, placed alongside the related abort-events test.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: src/js/node/_http_server.ts (~18 lines net) and a new test case in test/js/node/http/node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts. The change makes ServerResponse.prototype.write() return false (instead of true) and ServerResponse.prototype.end() transition to finished + emit 'prefinish' (instead of returning true with no state change) when the native handle's closed_or_completed flag is set. It also removes the handle?.aborted early return at the top of end().

Security risks

None. This is a Node.js-compat state-machine fix with no user-controlled parsing, auth, or crypto involvement.

Level of scrutiny

High. ServerResponse.prototype.write and end are the hot path for every node:http server response. The change is small but alters three observable behaviors: write() return value on a dead socket, end() return value (true → this — the old value was outright wrong), and event emissions on the closed path. The closed_or_completed mask covers both socket_closed and request_has_completed; only the former is exercised by the new test, and removing the handle?.aborted early return means callWriteHeadIfObservable and the trailer block now run before the closed check where they previously didn't on an aborted handle.

Other factors

The reasoning against Node.js's OutgoingMessage._writeRaw / end() is sound and cited in-source. I confirmed on the native side that get_aborted returns SOCKET_CLOSED, so the removed guard is provably subsumed by the later closed_or_completed check. The new closed-path block is a copy of the existing fall-through block minus the 'finish' / callback / _callPendingCallbacks scheduling, which matches the described Node behavior (the finish callback is dropped by _writeRaw's conn.destroyed branch). The PR reports the surrounding node-http suites and test-http-outgoing-* / test-http-writable-true-after-close parallel scripts pass unchanged. Given the surface area, a maintainer familiar with the node:http state machine should sign off.

No bugs found, but this changes observable ServerResponse lifecycle behavior in three places (new 'prefinish' emission on a closed handle, end() callback no longer nextTick'd for standalone responses, write() return flipped to false), so it's worth a human look.

What was reviewed:

• Checked that writableEnded derives from finished (_http_outgoing.ts:850), so the new finished = true covers both.
• Checked that hasServerResponseFinished guards double-end() after the new closed-handle branch sets finished.
• Checked the removed handle?.aborted early-return is subsumed by the closed_or_completed flag check (socket_closed | request_has_completed).
• The req._dump() block in the new branch mirrors the existing success path at _http_server.ts:3224-3227 verbatim.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches src/js/node/_http_server.ts (ServerResponse.prototype.end and .write), plus two test files and a hostname pin in a proxy test fixture. Three behavior changes: (1) write() on a closed/completed native handle now returns false instead of true; (2) end() on a closed/completed handle now sets _header, dumps the request, sets finished = true, schedules _ended, emits 'prefinish', and returns this (previously returned true — wrong type — with no state transition); (3) the !handle standalone-response branch now unconditionally delegates to OutgoingMessagePrototype.end instead of a conditional shortcut that skipped the state transition when _header was already set and invoked the callback via nextTick. The redundant handle?.aborted early return is removed.

Security risks

None. This is Node.js-compat state-machine bookkeeping on the response object; no auth, crypto, path handling, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. ServerResponse.prototype.end() is on the hot path of every node:http server, and each of the three changes alters observable behavior: a new synchronous 'prefinish' emission where none fired before, a return-value flip that backpressure-aware callers can observe, and a callback that standalone-response users (light-my-request / fastify inject) previously received via nextTick and now won't. All three are argued against Node v26.3.0 semantics with repros in the PR body, and the listed test suites (node-http*, test-http-outgoing-*, test-http-pipeline-*, test-http-server-response-standalone, test-http-writable-true-after-close) reportedly pass unchanged — but the blast radius of end() control-flow edits warrants a maintainer's eye on whether the removed handle?.aborted guard had any callers that reach it without closed_or_completed set, and whether emitting 'prefinish' synchronously from inside the closed-handle branch can re-enter anything.

Other factors

My earlier inline comment (nextTick assertion running outside the test's scope) and all four CodeRabbit findings were addressed in 892d0a1 and the threads are resolved. The new tests are well-shaped: the abort-events test awaits res 'close' before asserting, wires every failure to captured state, and asserts the full event sequence; the standalone test now awaits a nextTick before asserting cbCalled === false. CI build #78294 is in progress.

[claude]

No bugs found, and my earlier nit (unawaited nextTick assertion) was addressed. Deferring to a human because this inverts observable Node-compat behavior in _http_server.ts: write() on a closed handle now returns false (previously true, with a comment claiming that matched Node), end() on a closed handle now emits 'prefinish' and runs req._dump(), and the handle?.aborted early-return is gone so more of the end() path (trailers, callWriteHeadIfObservable) executes before bailing.

Checked: the 'prefinish'-on-destroyed-socket emit was compared against Node's OutgoingMessage.end and matches; the req._dump() block is copied verbatim from the fall-through path; test-http-writable-true-after-close asserts res.writable, not the write() return, so the true→false flip doesn't affect it.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches src/js/node/_http_server.ts (ServerResponse.prototype.write/end), plus two test files and a localhost→127.0.0.1 fix in node-http-proxy.js. Three behavior changes:

1. write() on a closed_or_completed native handle returns false instead of true (callback dropped).
2. end() on a closed_or_completed handle sets _header, dumps req, sets finished, emits 'prefinish', and returns this — instead of the previous silent return true (which also had the wrong return type).
3. end() with no native handle unconditionally delegates to OutgoingMessage.prototype.end, dropping the writeHead()-already-called shortcut and the process.nextTick(callback) shortcut.
4. The if (handle?.aborted) return this early return at the top of end() is removed as redundant.

Security risks

None identified — this is state-machine bookkeeping in the Node HTTP compat layer, no auth/crypto/parsing of untrusted structure.

Level of scrutiny

High. _http_server.ts is one of the most stateful, event-order-sensitive files in the runtime, and this change inverts observable behavior that was previously commented as Node-matching ("node.js will return true if the handle is closed"). The new closed-handle end() branch adds a synchronous emit('prefinish') and a req._dump() call that weren't there before; both look correct per the cited Node semantics and are copied from the existing fall-through, but the interaction with pipelining, keep-alive teardown, and framework 'prefinish' listeners is the kind of thing a human familiar with this file should sign off on. The handle?.aborted removal means callWriteHeadIfObservable and the trailer path now run on an aborted handle before the closed_or_completed bail — likely fine (the trailer call is ?.-guarded), but worth a second pair of eyes.

Other factors

Tests are solid: the abort-events test awaits res.close, asserts the exact event sequence ['res.prefinish', 'res.close'] with no 'finish', and covers write-return, end-return-identity, callback suppression, and finished/writableEnded. The standalone-response test now awaits nextTick before asserting cbCalled === false (my earlier comment). PR body cites Node v26.3.0 verification and lists the full set of parallel/http tests that still pass. All prior review comments (mine and CodeRabbit's) are resolved.

[robobun]

Superseded by #43557, which is merged as 5d5f03f. This PR is closed. The verification on main is in the last comment of this thread.

[robobun]

Re-checked against current main (165dc9f) now that #25632 is closed. Still needed: both tests added here fail on main unchanged.

• node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts > res.write()/end() after req.socket.destroy() inside the handler: on main write() returns true, finished and writableEnded stay false, and the events are ["res.close"] with no prefinish. Node v26.3.0 gives write() === false, both flags true, ["res.prefinish", "res.close"] (checked with a standalone script as well).
• node-http.test.ts > standalone ServerResponse end() after writeHead() sets writableEnded (#25632): on main finished and writableEnded are both still false after writeHead(403); end("forbidden").

What #25632 was closed on is the narrower case of a standalone response calling end() without writeHead() first, which does pass on main (#32488). The writeHead() then end() sequence, which is what fastify's reply path does, still reproduces, so the issue is not fully fixed. Leaving this open.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes state-transition and event-emission behavior on ServerResponse.prototype.end() / write() — the path every node:http response goes through — a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The removed handle?.aborted early return is subsumed by the closed_or_completed flag check; no other reader of .aborted remains.
• The new closed-socket end() branch mirrors the existing success-path sequence (_header sentinel, req._dump(), finished, markResponseEndedNT, 'prefinish') minus 'finish' — consistent with Node's _writeRaw dropping the finish callback on a destroyed socket.
• The !handle simplification: the removed process.nextTick(callback) fallback diverged from Node (which registers the callback on 'finish'); the new test guards this.
• Both new tests await the observable condition (res.close / nextTick) before asserting; the earlier synchronous-nextTick assertion issue was fixed in 892d0a1.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches src/js/node/_http_server.ts (three behavioral changes to ServerResponse.prototype.end() and one to write()), adds one test to node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts, one to node-http.test.ts, and pins node-http-proxy.js to 127.0.0.1. The core changes: (1) drop the handle?.aborted early return, (2) always delegate the !handle branch to OutgoingMessagePrototype.end, (3) on a closed_or_completed handle, set finished / emit 'prefinish' / return this instead of return true, and (4) write() on a closed handle returns false instead of true.

Security risks

None identified. This is state/event-ordering compat work in the node:http layer; no auth, crypto, path handling, or untrusted-input parsing is touched.

Level of scrutiny

High. ServerResponse.prototype.end and write are on the hot path of every node:http server response. The changes alter observable behavior: write()'s return value flips on a destroyed socket, end() now emits 'prefinish' and transitions finished/writableEnded where it previously returned silently, and the standalone-response end() callback is no longer nextTick'd. These are all moves toward Node.js semantics (verified against v26.3.0 in the PR), but they can still surprise code that relied on the old behavior. Someone familiar with Bun's native HTTP handle lifecycle should confirm that emitting 'prefinish' and dumping req on the closed_or_completed path doesn't race with the socket-close path that emits 'close'.

Other factors

The PR has been through four review iterations; my earlier inline nit (unawaited nextTick assertion) and CodeRabbit's test-strengthening comments were applied in 892d0a1, and the comment-cop length flags were addressed in bb8a966/43cf864. Both new tests were verified to fail on main and pass with the fix (release + ASAN). The removed !handle fallback's process.nextTick(callback) was a divergence from Node that the new test now guards. The proxy fixture change (localhost → 127.0.0.1) is a hermeticity fix unrelated to the core change. No CODEOWNER covers src/js/node/_http_server.ts.

[claude]

Beyond the inline pre-existing note, I verified that the removed handle?.aborted early return is fully subsumed by the closed_or_completed check further down — get_aborted returns flags.contains(SOCKET_CLOSED) (src/runtime/server/NodeHTTPResponse.rs:797) and closed_or_completed = socket_closed | request_has_completed, so no aborted-but-not-closed_or_completed gap is opened. The code that now runs in between (arg normalization, hasServerResponseFinished, updateHasBody, callWriteHeadIfObservable) matches what Node's OutgoingMessage.end runs regardless of socket state.

Extended reasoning...

The inline finding is informational (pre-existing kPendingCallbacks gap, explicitly out of scope). I checked one additional concern a human reviewer would likely re-derive: whether dropping the if (handle?.aborted) return this guard at the top of end() can let control reach handle.writeHeadAndEnd() on an aborted handle. It cannot — aborted is exactly the SOCKET_CLOSED bit, which is one of the two bits in closed_or_completed, so every previously-short-circuited call now takes the new state-setting branch at line 3106 instead. Not approving: this rewrites three exit paths of ServerResponse.prototype.end() and flips write()'s return value on a dead socket, which is hot-path node:http compat surface that warrants a maintainer look.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Superseded by #43557, which is merged (5d5f03f). It fixes this once for the whole node:http server and carries the tests over.

[robobun]

Confirmed. I built main at 5d5f03f and ran both repros from this PR. Both now match Node v26.3.0:

• The handler destroys req.socket, then writes: write() returns false, end() returns res, finished and writableEnded are true, 'prefinish' fires and 'finish' does not.
• Standalone ServerResponse, writeHead() then end(): finished and writableEnded are true, the header block and the body are in outputData, and the end() callback does not run on the next tick.

The two tests from this PR are on main and pass there (node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts and node-http.test.ts). Issue #25632 is closed by the merge. Nothing is left to do here.
