Conversation
Method::has_body() answers whether a response to a method can carry
content, but it was written with the request-side rule and excluded
TRACE alongside HEAD. RFC 9112 6.3 terminates only a HEAD response at
the end of the header section; RFC 9110 9.3.8 has a TRACE response
reflect the request back as content. The sibling has_request_body()
already gets the request side right.
Three call sites inherited the wrong answer:
src/http/lib.rs:4830 client forced content_length to 0
src/http/lib.rs:5278 client short-circuited to Finished
RequestContext.rs:1822 server announced Content-Length and
then sent zero bytes, desyncing a
keep-alive connection
Fixes oven-sh#19615

WalkthroughChangesTRACE responses now send their bodies. HEAD responses still send headers without bodies. Raw TCP tests cover file-backed, fixed-length, and chunked responses. TRACE body support
Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR correctly restores TRACE response bodies while preserving HEAD behavior. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the new raw-socket fetch test should frame the complete HTTP request before parsing to avoid intermittent failures from TCP segmentation. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Frame the complete request before selecting the response.
Line 811 treats the first TCP chunk as a complete HTTP request. TCP can split the request line or headers. A partial TRACE /chunked request can select the fixed-length branch and make this test flaky.
Accumulate data until \r\n\r\n is received. Then parse the completed request line and send one response.
Proposed fix
- socket.once("data", data => {
- const [method, path] = String(data).split(" ", 2);
+ let request = "";
+ socket.on("data", data => {
+ request += data.toString("latin1");
+ if (!request.includes("\r\n\r\n")) return;
+ socket.removeAllListeners("data");
+ const [method, path] = request.slice(0, request.indexOf("\r\n")).split(" ", 2);As per coding guidelines, “frame raw streams before asserting.”

Fixes #19615.
Method::has_body()insrc/http_types/Method.rsanswers "can a response to this method carry content?". It returnedfalseforTRACEas well asHEAD:That is the rule for the request side, and the sibling predicate right below it already implements that rule correctly:
The response side is drawn differently. RFC 9112 §6.3 says a response to a HEAD request "is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields ... and thus cannot contain a message body". HEAD is the only method that clause names; the rest are status codes (1xx, 204, 304). RFC 9110 §9.3.8 says the recipient of a TRACE "SHOULD reflect the message received ... back to the client as the content of a 200 (OK) response". A TRACE request has no content; a TRACE response does.
Because one predicate served both sides, a single wrong arm produced two separate user-visible bugs.
1. The
fetchclient dropped TRACE response bodies.src/http/lib.rs:4830forcescontent_length = Some(0)when!has_body(). The comment on that branch (:4840) already says "ignore body size for HEAD requests" - it just was not true of the predicate guarding it.src/http/lib.rs:5278then short-circuits toFinishedinstead ofContinueStreaming, so both the sized and the chunked form were discarded. Bun's ownnode:httpdelivers the body correctly against the same fixture, so the fixture is not at fault and the defect is confined to thefetch()client path.2.
Bun.serveannounced a length it never wrote.src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1822uses the same predicate on the file/sendfile path. A TRACE response backed byBun.file()sentContent-Length: 13and then zero bytes. On a keep-alive connection that desyncs the stream: the peer waits for 13 bytes that never arrive and then reads the next response's status line as body.A string-backed
Bun.serveresponse was already correct, which is why the issue looked like a client bug from one angle and a server bug from the other.The fix is one line:
I grepped every
TRACEmention acrosssrc/(.rs,.cpp,.h,.ts).has_bodywas the only place treating TRACE as bodiless. Everything else is either a method-name table or routing registration and carries no body semantics (ServerConfig.rs,uws_sys/App.rs,uws_sys/h3.rs,js/internal/http.ts, the llhttp and BunCommonStrings tables), or is correct as written:Method::is_idempotent(retry safety - TRACE is idempotent) anduseChunkedEncodingByDefaultinsrc/js/node/_http_client.ts, which is request-side and matches Node's own list.One thing worth flagging, since it is the obvious alternative fix. WHATWG Fetch lists TRACE as a forbidden method, and undici does reject it - Node 24.19.0 throws
TypeError: 'TRACE' HTTP method is unsupported.forfetch(url, { method: "TRACE" }). Bun deliberately allows it (the existing test atfetch.test.ts:796asserts only that TRACE with a request body throws), and rejecting it would not fix theBun.servehalf of this issue anyway. So this PR does not change that policy, it only makes the path Bun already allows behave correctly. Happy to switch to rejecting TRACE infetch()instead if you would rather match undici, but the server-side change is needed either way.How did you verify your code works?
Debug build on Linux x64, branch based on
01c4e2fd6d.1. Reproduced first, on a debug build rather than a release. Raw
node:netwire capture, because the issue is labelledbun:servebut only half of it is server-side:fetch()content-length: 29announced, body""fetch()node:httpBun.serve+ stringResponseBun.serve+Bun.file()content-length: 13, then zero bytesBun.serve+Bun.file()content-length: 13, then zero bytes (correct)2. Two tests, in the existing files for the code they cover.
test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts-reads a TRACE response body, right after the existing TRACE request-body block. It drives a rawnet.createServerrather thanBun.serve, matching the idiom already used throughout that file, so the wire framing is exact and the server side is not in the loop. CoversContent-Length,Transfer-Encoding: chunked, and a HEAD control that must still read"".test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts-TRACE response backed by Bun.file sends the body. Reads the raw socket so the assertion does not route through Bun's own client, plus the same HEAD control.I originally wrote the chunked case with
Bun.serveand aReadableStream, then checked the wire:Bun.servecollapses a small single-chunk stream intoContent-Length, so that variant would never have reached the chunked branch atsrc/http/lib.rs:5278. Hence the raw server.3. Validated the fixture independently. The same raw server against Node 24.19.0
node:http:All three match what the tests assert, so the fixture is well-formed HTTP and Bun was the outlier.
4. Both tests fail without the fix and pass with it.

None of the three is from this change, and I re-ran each one on its own rather than assuming. The count is not even stable: an earlier full run of the same binary reported
360 pass, 4 fail. All three are timing bounds rather than assertions about behaviour, and this box is shared: it sat between load 11 and 15 throughout.simultaneous HTTPS fetchdoes 80 TLS handshakes against a localhttpsServer.
