Problem

  • A fetch handler that returns new Response(Bun.file(path)) answers HEAD with 200 OK when GET answers through error(): content-length: 0 for a missing file, 4096 for a directory.
  • The Body::Value::Blob arm of do_render_head_response (RequestContext.rs:2611) sized the body with blob.resolve_size(), a stat that ignores failure. GET goes through do_sendfile (RequestContext.rs:1772), which opens the file and routes ENOENT and EISDIR to error().

Fix

  • do_render_head_response holds the body in this.blob, as GET does, and hands a file body to render_with_blob_from_body_value, GET's entry point. do_sendfile already handles HEAD: Range, headers, no body.
  • do_sendfile detaches the failed file before it runs error(), so that Response never takes Content-Type or filename= from it. A used or errored body reaches error() on HEAD as on GET.
  • Verified: bun-serve-file.test.ts and serve-reused-response.test.ts. 10 cases fail with src/ at main (2838e1b). Self-reviewed: 7 concerns raised, 4 addressed. The other 3 retire do_render_head_response (follow-up, see Notes).

Background

  • HEAD branches to do_render_head_response, which writes the framing headers and no body. render_metadata reads this.blob for the size, Content-Type and filename=.
  • Considered an open and S_ISREG check inside the HEAD arm: it copies do_sendfile's error and Range logic. Routing HEAD through do_sendfile reuses it.

Downsides

  • HEAD of a Bun.file() body costs open + fstat + close where main did one stat: 2 more syscalls per request. Counted from do_sendfile, not measured (no strace in the test environment).
  • HEAD output changes: a missing file or a directory is no longer 200, a .slice() or Range request gets 206 or 416, and Content-Type and Content-Disposition appear.
Notes

Consolidates #41896 (same bug, narrower fix). Its test is folded in.

fd-backed slices: on main, GET of new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10)) announces Content-Length: 16 (the whole file) and sends 5 bytes, so the client waits for bytes that never come. do_sendfile sets no Content-Range for an fd-backed file, so render_metadata framed from the blob size, which held the stat size. HEAD said 5 on main and would have said 16 through this PR. do_sendfile now sets the blob size of a regular fd-backed file to the bytes it sends, so GET and HEAD both say 5. The response stays a 200 with no Content-Range, as before.

Empty slices: on main, GET of Bun.file(p).slice(5, 5) from a fetch handler answers 206, content-length: 0, content-range: bytes 5-5/*. serve.test.ts ("empty range" and "bad range") asserts that 206, so this PR keeps it. HEAD answered 200 on main and now mirrors GET's 206. An earlier revision of this PR changed both to 200 and CI failed on that suite, so it was reverted (7223ca4).

resolve_size must tolerate a missing file (Bun.file(path).size on a path that does not exist yet is valid), which is why it cannot report ENOENT for HEAD.

Wire output from a raw HTTP/1.1 client, fetch handler as in the test (error() returns "err " + e.code with status 500):

                             1.4.3-canary (f42e98025)        this branch

HEAD new Response(new Blob(["bl"], {type}))  200 CL 2, no CT  200  CL 2, Content-Type from the Blob

Every HEAD line on the right now matches the GET response for the same request, minus the body. No HEAD response carried body bytes after the header section (the new raw-socket test asserts this). The directory's 4096 on the left is the inode's st_size.

Other error() shapes checked for HEAD of a missing file, all now reporting GET's status: no error() in production (500) and development (500, dev error page headers), a sync handler, an async handler, a handler that throws (500), a handler that returns a file body (its size and type), a handler that returns another missing file (default 500), a handler that returns a ReadableStream (status from the handler, transfer-encoding: chunked).

An earlier revision of this branch set this.blob only in the string/bytes arm. An error() Response with a typed Blob body then still took Content-Type and Content-Disposition: filename= from the failed file or directory on HEAD. The directory case in the test now returns a typed Blob from error() to cover that arm.

A Response whose body is already used (the same object returned for a second request, or consumed before return) answered HEAD with the handler's status and content-length: 0, or with a leftover Content-Length header, while GET has called error() with ERR_BODY_ALREADY_USED since #33118. HEAD now takes the same path, before any header is written: the shared take_unsendable_body_error builds the error() argument for both do_render_with_body (GET) and the HEAD renderer. serve-reused-response.test.ts gains HEAD rows, one with a leftover Content-Length.

Follow-up, not in this PR: do_render_head_response still mirrors GET by hand for the stream and bodiless arms. The GET leaves (do_sendfile, render_metadata) already know !method.has_body(), so the HEAD renderer can shrink further in a later change.

A Blob body is duped rather than moved out of the Response, so a reused Response object with a Bun.file() body behaves as on main: HEAD does not consume it, the first GET does, and a later GET reports ERR_BODY_ALREADY_USED.

Other suites run locally: bun-server.test.ts -t HEAD, serve.test.ts, bun-serve-static.test.ts, the H2/H3 serve tests filtered to HEAD and file cases, serve-file-slice-read-error.test.ts, serve-directory-routes.test.ts, serve-if-none-match.test.ts, bun-serve-routes.test.ts -t HEAD, fetch.test.ts -t HEAD, body.test.ts -t HEAD, test/regression/issue/26143.test.ts, 29181.test.ts.

Static routes: { "/x": new Response(Bun.file(missing)) } was already correct for both methods. Only Responses returned from the fetch handler (and from error()) were affected.

When error() returned a bodiless Response or a ReadableStream body after a failed file, GET on main answered with the failed file's Content-Type (text/html for a missing nope.html) and, for a directory, Content-Disposition: filename="<dir>". HEAD reached the same path through this PR. do_sendfile now detaches the blob at its three error exits (fail_sendfile), which fixes both methods. The test compares the error() Response after a failed file with the same Response returned directly.

Pre-existing and out of scope: A GET of new Response(Bun.file("/dev/null")) resets the connection (#34257 covered it and closed without a merge). #33427 separately mirrors GET's Content-Type on HEAD for in-memory bodies as part of a Date-header change; the this.blob change here overlaps with that part of it.

Status: reproduced with a raw HTTP/1.1 client against a fetch handler returning new Response(Bun.file(p)) for a missing path and a directory. HEAD answered 200 (content-length 0 and 4096) while GET answered 500 through error(). The fix routes HEAD file bodies through do_sendfile and renders every HEAD body arm from this.blob. do_sendfile detaches the failed file before it runs error(), so an error() Response (with a body, without one, or with a stream) keeps its own headers on GET and HEAD. A used or errored body reaches error() on HEAD as on GET. A slice of an fd-backed file is framed by the bytes it sends (main's GET announced the whole file's size).

This PR consolidates #41896 (same bug, closed in favor of this one). Tests: test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts and serve-reused-response.test.ts. 10 cases fail with src/ at main (2838e1b) and pass on this branch. serve.test.ts passes locally except two cases that also fail on main in this container (a privileged-port check and a loopback check).

Merged main on 2026-09-24. No open review threads.

Walkthrough

Server rendering now detaches failed file blobs before invoking the error handler and sets the size of regular fd-backed file slices to the clamped remaining length. HEAD rendering updates response sizing and framing. Consumed or errored bodies use shared error handling. Tests cover file errors, ranges, HEAD responses, and reused or pre-consumed responses.

Changes

Response rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failed file response handling
src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts
Failed file responses detach the current blob before invoking the error handler. Regular fd-backed file slices set the blob size to the clamped remaining length. Tests cover missing-file and directory errors for GET and HEAD.
HEAD response framing
src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-file.test.ts
HEAD rendering routes Error and Used bodies through error handling and sizes blob, string, and file-backed bodies. Tests cover response headers, ranges, and slice content length.
Consumed response body errors
src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, test/js/bun/http/serve-reused-response.test.ts
A shared helper extracts errors from Error and Used bodies during rendering. Tests cover reused and pre-consumed responses for GET and HEAD.

HEAD sized a file body from a bare stat, so a missing file or a directory
got a 200 with a made-up Content-Length while GET reached error(). Route
file bodies through do_sendfile, which opens and fstats the file, reports
ENOENT and EISDIR, applies Range, and ends a HEAD response after the
headers.

do_sendfile leaves the file blob in this.blob when open fails. The
error() Response then rendered its headers from that blob on HEAD, so the
Content-Type and Content-Disposition came from the missing file. Hold the
in-memory body in this.blob before render_metadata, as GET does.

…sponse

The HEAD arm for an in-memory Blob still called render_metadata with
whatever this.blob held. After do_sendfile failed for HEAD, that was
the file that failed, so an error() Response with a typed Blob body got
the file's Content-Type and a Content-Disposition filename. Fold the
three body arms into one that holds the body in this.blob first, as
GET does. A Blob body is duped rather than taken, so HEAD leaves the
Response body in place as before.

Fold in the test from #41896 (error() receives the ENOENT with its path
for HEAD, custom status and headers propagate), add a raw-socket check
that HEAD of a file writes no body and honors Range like GET, and make
the directory case return a typed Blob from error().
do_render_with_body routes a Response whose body is Used or Error to
run_error_handler (ERR_BODY_ALREADY_USED since #33118, or the body's
own error). The HEAD renderer treated both as bodiless: it honored a
leftover Content-Length header or wrote content-length: 0 with the
handler's status. Share the error construction in
take_unsendable_body_error and call it from the HEAD pre-pass before
any header is written, so HEAD reports the status GET reports here too.

serve-reused-response.test.ts gains HEAD rows, including a used body
that still carries a Content-Length header.

do_sendfile left the file blob in this.blob when open, fstat or the
directory check failed. An error() Response with no body or a stream body
then took Content-Type, and for a directory Content-Disposition
filename=, from the file that failed, on GET and now on HEAD. Detach the
blob at the three error exits before error() runs.

A slice that is empty or starts past EOF got an automatic 206 with
Content-Range: bytes 5-5/* and Content-Length: 0, a range of one byte for
zero bytes. GET did this on main and HEAD mirrors GET now. render_metadata
keeps such a response a 200 with Content-Length 0. A Content-Range the
user set is left alone.

Also restore the header-less input of the consumed-before-returning test
and keep the leftover Content-Length input as a second row.
serve.test.ts ('empty range' and 'bad range' under 'should support
Content-Range with Bun.file()') asserts that a Bun.file().slice() holding
no bytes answers 206. Restore that. HEAD mirrors GET for it.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🔴 src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs — A HEAD of a sliced fd-backed file, new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10)), now answers with the whole file's size instead of the slice's 5 bytes as on the base branch. HEAD now enters do_sendfile, whose is_regular && auto_close guard at src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1879 never marks needs_content_range for a PathOrFileDescriptor::Fd blob, so render_metadata frames from blob.size(), which line 1866 overwrote with stat_size. Fix: in do_sendfile derive Content-Length from sendfile.remain for every regular file, fd-backed included (e.g. drop && auto_close at 1879), so both HEAD and GET report the slice length. GET already announces st_size while streaming only remain bytes here (pre-existing).

    Why this was flagged

    A fetch or route handler returns new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10)) for an open regular file of 16 bytes and the client sends HEAD. src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:2637-2638 now routes the Blob body through render_with_blob_from_body_value into do_sendfile. There auto_close is false for the Fd arm (1784-1787), b.size.set(stat_size) at 1866 sets the blob size to 16, and the if is_regular && auto_close guard at 1879-1883 skips set_needs_content_range, while 1884-1891 clamps sendfile.remain to 5. render_metadata (called at 1963) sees needs_content_range() false at 3754, so size at 3757-3761 is blob.size() = 16 and 3855-3856 writes content-length: 16. On the base branch the HEAD Blob arm called blob.resolve_size() (Blob.rs:2126-2134, window_size(5, 11) = 5) and wrote content-length: 5. GET on the base already has this framing mismatch: it writes content-length: 16 and FileResponseStream::start gets length: Some(sendfile.remain) = 5 at 2002-2006, so the client waits for 11 bytes that never come; a path-backed slice is unaffected because…

    Verification: normal (regression on HEAD; the same wrong header is pre-existing on GET, which this PR now makes HEAD mirror). Trigger: a fetch/route handler returns new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(a, b)) for an fd-backed regular file and the client sends HEAD. Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs: - New HEAD arm (2631-2640): this.blob.set(AnyBlob::Blob(blob.dupe()));…

do_sendfile sets no Content-Range for an fd-backed file, so render_metadata
took Content-Length from the blob, which held the whole file's size. GET of
Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10) announced 16 bytes and sent 5, and HEAD, which now
shares this path, announced 16 where it said 5 before. Set the blob's size
to the bytes that will be sent.

On the fd-backed slice finding: confirmed. On main, GET of new Response(Bun.file(fd).slice(5, 10)) announces Content-Length: 16 and sends 5 bytes, so the client waits for bytes that never come. HEAD said 5 on main and said 16 with this PR, because it now shares that path. Fixed in the latest commit: do_sendfile sets the blob size of a regular fd-backed file to the bytes it will send, so GET and HEAD both say 5. The Content-Range policy for fd-backed files is unchanged (200, no Content-Range). New test: "frames a slice of an fd-backed file by the bytes it sends". I ran all 12 test files under test/js/bun/http/ that serve files, serve.test.ts included, before the push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs — pre-existing: a HEAD of a Response wrapping a ReadableStream that is already locked or consumed still answers 200 with transfer-encoding: chunked, while GET routes the same Response to error() with ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE. The new Used/Error early return at RequestContext.rs:2560 never sees this body because it is still Body::Value::Locked; the Locked arm at RequestContext.rs:2662 writes 200 and never checks stream.is_locked. Fix: before rendering the Locked arm on HEAD, apply the same locked-stream check GET does at RequestContext.rs:3146 and hand the error to run_error_handler, so HEAD reports GET's status for every already-used body shape, not only Used/Error.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: a fetch handler returns a Response whose body stream is already locked, e.g. the shared-stream case in test/js/bun/http/serve-reused-response.test.ts:89-104 (responses = [new Response(stream), new Response(stream)], first one already sent) or const r = new Response(stream); r.body.getReader(); return r. GET goes through do_render_with_body: RequestContext.rs:3146 stream.is_locked(global_this) is true, so it builds ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE ("Stream already used, please create a new one") and calls run_error_handler, answering 500 via error(). HEAD goes through do_render_head_response: the body is Body::Value::Locked, so the new check at RequestContext.rs:2560 (only Used | Error) does not fire, body_decides_framing is true, and the Locked arm at RequestContext.rs:2662-2672 writes status 200, transfer-encoding: chunked, cancels the (locked) stream and ends. The client gets 200 for HEAD and 500 for GET of the same handler result, the mismatch this PR sets out to remove for used bodies; error() is never invoked for HEAD. The base branch behaves identically here;…

    Verification: pre-existing (the Locked arm is byte-identical on the base commit, so the base already answers this HEAD with 200; the PR touches the same function and extends the HEAD-matches-GET invariant to Used/Error but leaves this third unsendable-body case behind). Trigger: a fetch handler returns a Response whose body is a Locked ReadableStream that is already locked — e.g. the second `new…

On the locked-stream finding: confirmed, and it predates this PR. With const r = new Response(stream); r.body.getReader(); return r, GET calls error() with ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE and HEAD answers 200 with transfer-encoding: chunked. The released build gives the same output. I am leaving it out of this PR: it belongs to the stream arm of do_render_head_response, which the Notes already list as a follow-up, and this PR has grown enough. It is written up separately with the repro.
