… body `blob()` on a Request or Response typed its result from the body's own type first (a typed Blob, URLSearchParams, FormData, Bun.file) and read the Content-Type header only when that was empty. A ReadableStream body never saw the header at all, and a Bun.serve request ignored it because its headers were either not passed to the pending-body resolve or not yet created from the uws request. Fetch's "extract a MIME type" reads the header list only, which is what undici does. The header now wins on every path: the owner's Content-Type is looked up once when blob() is called (creating a Bun.serve request's headers from uws if needed), carried in Action::GetBlob for pending bodies, and passed to readableStreamToBlob for stream bodies. The result Blob is typed without writing to its Store, which new Response(blob) shares with the caller's Blob. A type that was set to empty no longer falls back to the store's type or goes out as an empty Content-Type header.
…ved from it; empty type for an unparsable header The header the constructor derived from a typed body is that type verbatim, so re-deriving it through MimeType::init could only rewrite its parameters (text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 read back as text/html;charset=utf-8 once headers had been materialized). Carry the raw header value in Action::GetBlob and compare before canonicalizing. A Content-Type value with bytes outside HTAB / 0x20-0x7E cannot be a MIME type; blob() reports "" for it instead of the bytes reinterpreted as Latin-1.
WalkthroughChangesReadable-stream-to-Blob conversion now accepts and applies an optional content type. Body resolution centralizes header-derived Blob typing, preserves explicit empty types, avoids shared-store mutation, and loads request headers consistently. Tests cover streamed, cloned, delayed, file-backed, subprocess, and server request bodies. Blob content-type propagation

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes user-visible Blob.prototype.type fallback and has_content_type_from_user() semantics alongside the header-precedence fix, and coordinates with several in-flight PRs (#41922, #40416, #33128), a human look would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- Header precedence across all three body paths (in-memory,
Locked→Action::GetBlob(Option<Vec<u8>>), andReadableStreamvia the newonReadableStreamToBlobSetContentTypereaction) — each writes only the result Blob'scontent_type, never the sharedStore. - FFI signature widening:
readableStreamToBlobgains a defaultedcontentType = jsUndefined(), so the three C++ callers that omit it (JSReadableStream.cpp,jsFunctionReadableStreamToBlob,readableStreamToFormData's internal call) still compile and behave unchanged;Blob__setContentTypeFromHeaderno-ops on non-Blob values. Value::resolvelosing itsheadersparam: all three callers (RequestContext,FetchTasklet,html_rewriter) updated; the removedResponse::get_fetch_headersinherent method andblob_store_mut/set_blob_content_typehave no remaining callers.- Tests use
port: 0,tempDir, await the handler'sblob()call before writing the body (no sleep), and cover theBun.servelazy-header path plus the store-not-mutated invariant.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR makes Request/Response .blob() derive the resulting Blob's type strictly from the owner's Content-Type header (Fetch spec's "body MIME type"), uniformly across in-memory bodies, pending Locked bodies, and ReadableStream bodies. It threads the header value through Action::GetBlob(Option<Vec<u8>>) on the Rust side and through a new contentType argument to readableStreamToBlob plus a new onReadableStreamToBlobSetContentType promise reaction on the C++ side. It also stops writing the type into the Blob's shared Store (fixing a mutation-of-caller's-blob bug), adds Request::load_headers_from_request_context to lazily materialize uws headers before blob(), and tightens Blob.prototype.type / has_content_type_from_user() so an explicitly-set-but-empty type reads as "" and produces no outgoing Content-Type header. 15 files, +380/-132, with 19 new tests in test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts.
Security risks
None identified. The change is confined to MIME-type string plumbing between headers and Blob metadata; no auth, crypto, path handling, or resource-limit code is touched. The one new extern "C" entry (Blob__setContentTypeFromHeader) guards Blob::from_js returning null and only writes interior-mutable Cell fields on an already-live JSC-owned Blob. The header value is bounds-checked to printable ASCII / HTAB before parsing, and an unparsable value degrades to "" rather than propagating.
Level of scrutiny
Medium-high. This is a Web-compat behavioral change spanning the Rust/C++ FFI boundary, with two secondary behavior changes riding along (the .type getter no longer falling back to the store when content_type_was_set is true-but-empty, and has_content_type_from_user() now requiring a non-empty type — the latter affects outgoing fetch() header derivation). The PR description enumerates the affected suites and the interaction with three other open PRs touching the same plumbing; a maintainer should confirm the coordination plan (which PR carries which half) and that the .type/has_content_type_from_user tightening is the intended scope here rather than in #40416.
Other factors
The bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings and no ruled-out candidates. I verified the removed helpers (blob_store_mut, set_blob_content_type, inherent Response::get_fetch_headers) have no remaining call sites, that the C++ default argument keeps the three untouched readableStreamToBlob callers working, and that exception scopes bracket the new toWTFString and promise-then calls. Test coverage is thorough (per-body-kind matrix, stream vs. buffered, empty/invalid header, verbatim round-trip, store-not-mutated, Bun.serve pending body with headers unread). No CODEOWNERS entries cover the changed paths. The change is well-executed but not mechanical enough to approve without a maintainer confirming the secondary behavior changes and cross-PR sequencing.
… and a served request after headers.set() and clone() These are the cases test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts and test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-headers.test.ts carried in #41922 for the same readableStreamToBlob plumbing. All fail on 1.4.3 and pass here.
…h req.headers
Request::get_content_type() read the raw uWS request header line before
req.headers, so req.headers.set() or delete() in a handler was ignored until
the handler awaited a macrotask: formData() rejected with
ERR_FORMDATA_PARSE_ERROR after set("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"),
and still parsed after delete() of a form content type. It now reads through
req.headers, like the blob() path in this branch.

Notes
Review concerns and what was done. (1) Bun.serve: read Content-Type and Range through req.headers; give stream-body blob() its type #41922 (opened the same day) carried a copy of this plumbing (
Action::GetBlobpayload,resolvewithout headers, 3-argumentreadableStreamToBlob, a Rust setter) with the old precedence and theStorewrite. It is closed in favor of this PR. Itsblob()cases moved intobody.test.tshere (both copies of aclone()d stream body, a subprocess stdout body, a served request afterheaders.set()andclone()), and theformData()read now goes throughreq.headerstoo. (4) A review of Bun.serve: read Content-Type and Range through req.headers; give stream-body blob() its type #41922's remaining half said itsRangechange (auto-Rangefornew Response(Bun.file(p))followingreq.headersinstead of the wire) is new behavior with no reported demand, so it is left out: it needs a maintainer yes first, and it is the only part that needed aFetchHeadersref held inRequestContext. (2) node:http statusMessage as Latin-1, spec-compliant Blob.type from headers, UTF-8 property keys #40416 (dylan-conway) rewrites the same header read with a validity check; that check is included here (blob_content_type_from_header), so its Body.rs hunk reduces to this code. (3)blob()read the materializedFetchHeaderswhileformData()still asked the uws request first (Request::get_content_type), so the two disagreed afterrequest.headers.set("content-type", ...)in a synchronous handler.get_content_typenow readsreq.headersas well. One difference is left: a present but emptyContent-Typetypes the Blob"", whileformData()still falls back to the body's own type for its boundary.Supersedes server: preserve request Content-Type in request.blob() #32806 and fetch: run "extract a MIME type" over Content-Type for blob() and formData() #35901 (both closed) and the precedence/plumbing part of fetch: derive blob() type and the formData() boundary from the Content-Type header per the spec #33128.
Why the verbatim rule:
new Response(new Blob([...], { type: "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" }))derives the header from the blob. Re-deriving the blob type from that header throughMimeType::initgives theHTMLconstant,text/html;charset=utf-8, and only once something had materialized the headers. Comparing the raw header with the body's type first keeps the result independent of whetherheaderswas read.Ledger cells (bun 1.4.3 / this PR / undici),
new Response(body, {headers: {"content-type": H}}):URLSearchParams, H=text/plain:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8/text/plain;charset=utf-8/text/plaintext/html), H=text/x-custom:text/html;charset=utf-8/text/x-custom/text/x-customURLSearchParams, H="":application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8/""/""ReadableStream, H=text/x-custom:""/text/x-custom/text/x-customtext/x-custom:text/x-customin all threeThe remaining difference in the first cell is
MimeType::initcanonicalizing known types (text/plain->text/plain;charset=utf-8,application/json->application/json;charset=utf-8). Existing tests (fetch.test.ts"should have expected content type",client-fetch.test.ts) pin that behavior, so it is left alone here.With no
Content-Typeheader nothing changes: the body's own type is kept, and an in-memory body with bytes and no type still reads back astext/plain;charset=utf-8(undici:""). For constructed objects the constructor mirrors the body's type into the header, so header-first and the old body-first rule agree there.Value::resolveloses itsheadersparameter: the header is captured at call time inAction::GetBlobinstead of at settle time.FetchTasklet,RequestContextandHTMLRewriterwere its callers; the last two passedNone.The stream path:
ZigGlobalObject__readableStreamToBlobtakes the header as a JSString (orundefined). The chunk-array path stamps it inonReadableStreamToBlobFulfilled; the native-source fast path gets a derived promise through the newonReadableStreamToBlobSetContentTypereaction. Both callBlob__setContentTypeFromHeader.fetch: derive blob() type and the formData() boundary from the Content-Type header per the spec #33128 was the broader version of this change (a WHATWG MIME parser,
File-> plainBlobidentity, multipart boundary handling) and had been conflicting since the August refactors. It is closed in favor of this PR; the spec MIME parser (for different response blob type from node #19603) can be re-proposed on top of main once this lands.Blob.prototype.typeno longer falls back to theStore's type whencontent_type_was_setis true with an empty value. Before this PR that state came only fromslice()on a blob with a non-interned type, whose store type is empty anyway, except for aURLSearchParams-derived body blob, whoseslice()now reports""like every other typeless slice.has_content_type_from_user()now requires a non-empty type.
