Follow-up to #34918 (request).

Problem

  • One socket read can hold valid chunks followed by a malformed chunk-size line (1\r\nx\r\nConnection: close\r\n). A reader that waits on res.body then gets no body, only InvalidHTTPResponse. Node v26.3.0 gives the reader "x", then rejects the next read. With a 256 KiB chunk ahead of the bad line the reader lost up to 134198 of 262144 bytes.
  • phr_decode_chunked returns -1 after it decoded the valid chunks. Both -1 arms in src/http/lib.rs (handle_response_body_chunked_encoding_from_single_packet, _from_multiple_packets) dropped those bytes.

Fix

  • For fetch(), an uncompressed body and a response head that was already reported, the -1 arms keep the decoded bytes and set has_body_ahead_of_failure. dispatch_result_and_reset then reports them in their own progress callback (report_body_decoded_before_failure) before it sends the failure. A compressed body gets nothing, as in Node.
  • On the JS thread both callbacks usually land in one on_progress_update. Once the Response exists, FetchTasklet handles the bytes in that run and the failure in a second run, on the next task (hold_failure_behind_unseen_body). Not for an abort.
  • Correct because a reader already gets this result when the bytes and the bad line arrive in separate reads.
  • Verified: test/js/web/fetch/fetch-chunked-size.test.ts (9 new tests, 3 fail on canary e5f9986a4, 6 pin what must not change). Other suites: see Notes.

Limit

Background

  • fetch() parses responses on the HTTP thread. It reports body bytes to FetchTasklet::callback, which stores them and posts one task to the JS thread. Two callbacks before that task runs reach the JS thread as one update.
  • A failure result is terminal. on_progress_update errors the body and drops undelivered bytes.

Notes

Regressions that review found on earlier heads of this PR (c799f5915c, 5a92cbd53f), fixed in 5a92cbd53f and 3db5d26cf8 and pinned by tests:

  1. The flush reported any non-empty decoded_body. A corrupted gzip body gave a reader inflater output, wrong bytes included, ahead of ZlibError. main and Node give nothing. The flush is now opt-in: only the two -1 arms set has_body_ahead_of_failure, and only for fetch() (signals.body_receive_mode) with an uncompressed body. bun install tarball streaming sets only ResponseBodyStreaming, so it gets no new callback. An S3 download stream wires the same backpressure signals as fetch() (to_with_backpressure), so it is included. It already handles a progress callback that is followed by a failure.

  2. The failure was held back even before the Response existed. The Response was then built with a live body. A body stream made from it before its first read (const body = res.body, read one task later) drops an error that arrives next: ByteStream::append stores the error and on_start reports Start::Empty, so the stream ended cleanly with no error. main builds that Response from the failure (BodyValue::Error), which every consumer sees. The failure is now held only once the Response exists, where the outcome for such a stream is the same as on main. ByteStream: report a stored producer error and keep the taken prefix with the buffer #38003 fixes the stored-error path itself. With it in, the failure can be held in the first case too and row 1 can match Node.

  3. (Found in review of 5a92cbd53f.) With the head in the same read, the chunks went out in a callback of their own ahead of the failure. If the JS thread ran between the two callbacks it built a live body, with the same lost error as in 2. The -1 arms now keep the chunks only when the head was already reported (state.cloned_metadata.is_none()), so that case sends one failure callback, as on main.

Why the JS-thread part is needed. For row 3 the HTTP thread sends "x" and then the failure before the JS thread runs. on_body_received sent the error to the stream and its defer cleared the buffer. Now the first run delivers "x" to the pending read and the second run errors the stream. Node does the same: its parser error reaches the body one tick after the data.

hold_failure_behind_unseen_body only triggers when has_schedule_callback was set, which only FetchTasklet::callback does. The second run is enqueued by the JS thread itself, so it cannot hold the failure again. The second run carries the JS thread's ref, the same as the task the HTTP thread posted. If start_request_stream fails in the first run because the VM stops, the ref is dropped there. The hold applies to every failure kind except aborts, not only to InvalidHTTPResponse: a connection that closes early no longer overtakes the bytes that arrived before it once the Response exists (test/js/web/fetch/body.test.ts works around that today with its consumedFirstChunk handshake, and the test is in test/flaky-tests.txt). I did not change that test here.

The flush lives in dispatch_result_and_reset, so the CONNECT-tunnel path (ProxyTunnel::on_data -> close_from_callback -> fail) gets it with no change at the call sites. h2 and h3 do not use chunked encoding and never set the flag.

Compressed bodies (row 6). Node delivers nothing from the read that holds the bad line, because the error tears its gunzip down before it emits. The -1 arms match that. Bytes that earlier reads already decompressed and reported are not affected.

A late reader (row 2) sees no chunks in Node and in Bun. Erroring a stream discards what is queued, and by then the error has arrived.

Suites run with the debug build on 5a92cbd53f: fetch-chunked-size, body.test.ts, body-clone, body-mixin-errors, body-stream, body-async-iterator, fetch-gzip, fetch.brotli, fetch-retry-chunked, fetch-abort-stream-body, fetch-abort-socket-close-race, fetch-stream-cancel-leak, fetch-response-finalizer-sweep, fetch.stream, fetch-keepalive, fetch-redirect, fetch-http2-client, node-http.test.ts, node-fetch, client-timeout-error, node-http-transfer-encoding. The only failures were 5 s timeouts in fetch.stream "Content-Length response works (multiple parts)" on a machine with load average 74. They pass when run alone and do not touch a failure path. An earlier head also ran fetch.test.ts, the other test/js/node/http/ client files and 27 test-http-client-* / test-http-chunk* / test-http-abort* files from test/js/node/test/parallel/.

The CONNECT-tunnel path has its own test (through a CONNECT tunnel): an HTTP CONNECT proxy in front of a TLS origin that writes 1\r\nx\r\n and the malformed line in one TLS record. It fails on the main canary and passes here.

…error

When a socket read holds valid chunks followed by a malformed chunk-size
line, phr_decode_chunked returns -1 after it decoded those chunks. Both
-1 arms in src/http/lib.rs dropped the decoded bytes, so a streaming
reader lost body that node v26.3.0 delivers before it errors the stream.

The -1 arms now keep what was decoded, and dispatch_result_and_reset
reports it to a streaming consumer in a progress callback ahead of the
failure. On the JS thread the two callbacks usually land in one
on_progress_update. FetchTasklet now handles the bytes in that run and
the failure in a second run on the next task, so the error does not
overtake bytes that arrived before it. Aborts and timeouts are excluded.

Walkthrough

Streaming HTTP handling now delivers decoded body bytes before terminal failures. Chunked decoding preserves valid data before malformed chunk errors. FetchTasklet defers eligible failures until buffered bytes are consumed. Tests cover packet timing, gzip, large chunks, and response consumption methods.

Changes

Streaming fetch error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffered bytes before HTTP errors
src/http/InternalState.rs, src/http/lib.rs
The HTTP state tracks decoded body data ahead of failures. Eligible streaming responses deliver that data before terminal errors.
Deferred FetchTasklet failures
src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchTasklet.rs
FetchTasklet defers eligible HTTP failures while buffered response bytes are processed, then restores and enqueues the terminal failure.
Malformed chunk streaming coverage
test/js/web/fetch/fetch-chunked-size.test.ts
Tests verify partial body delivery before InvalidHTTPResponse across packet timing, gzip, large chunks, and response consumption methods.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5ff54

The streaming behavior changes appear covered, but the outstanding test-structure concern should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Status: fix verified locally on 5ff5415. The head approved earlier (c799f59) had two regressions that a self-review found. Both are fixed, see this comment.

Reproduced with a raw net server that writes the response head first and then 1\r\nx\r\n plus the malformed line Connection: close\r\n\r\n in one write, with a read pending. The latest canary (e5f9986a4, includes #34918) gives the res.body reader no chunks and then InvalidHTTPResponse. Node v26.3.0 and this branch give ["x"], then the next read rejects.

bun bd test test/js/web/fetch/fetch-chunked-size.test.ts

3 of the 9 new tests (one read, a chunk larger than one read, through a CONNECT tunnel) fail on canary e5f9986a4 and pass on this branch. The other 6 pass on both and pin what must not change: a compressed body gets nothing, a corrupted gzip body gives no inflater output ahead of ZlibError, and with the response head in the same read every way of reading the body rejects (4 consumer states). 4 of those 6 fail on c799f59.

Limit: when the failure reaches the JS thread before it built the Response, the bytes are still dropped, as on main. That needs #38003 first.

CI: the only test that was red on every retry in builds 114094 and 114113 is test/js/bun/http/serve-pending-promise-abort-leak.test.ts on debian-13-x64-asan. It fails with the same assertion on unrelated PRs (for example build 113917, a .d.ts-only change) and is tracked separately.

@cirospaciari Here it is. Each cell is what a res.body.getReader() loop collects before the read rejects. The bad line is Connection: close\r\n\r\n (C is a hex digit, so it parses as chunk-size 0xC plus junk). "Rejects" is TypeError: terminated in Node and InvalidHTTPResponse in Bun. In every case fetch() itself resolves with status 200.

  • Rows 1, 3 and 5 are the gap this PR closes. Row 5 on main drops 134198 of the 262144 body bytes.
  • Rows 2, 4 and 7 are the same in all three. Row 2 is the late reader: the error has already reached the stream, and an errored stream discards what is queued, in Node too.
  • Row 6 is the one place where this PR does not match Node. The gzip member arrived complete inside a valid chunk, so this PR treats it like the plain case and delivers it. Node loses it because its gunzip pipeline is destroyed by the error before it emits. If you prefer to match Node here, the change is to skip the flush for a compressed body. I kept one rule for every Content-Encoding.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it adds a new self-enqueued second on_progress_update run that carries the JS thread's ref through cleanup / the start_request_stream error exit, and threads an extra progress callback through dispatch_result_and_reset (shared by fail, fail_from_h2, and complete_connecting_process), a human familiar with the FetchTasklet refcount lifecycle should also look.

What was reviewed

  • report_body_decoded_before_failure: gated on streaming + non-empty decoded_body + state.fail.is_some() and skips abort/timeout, so the complete_connecting_process and non-streaming (bun install) callers of dispatch_result_and_reset see no new callback.
  • Both -1 | -2 chunked arms: the -2 path's return value is unchanged (Ok(processed) == the previous process_body_buffer result when streaming, Ok(false) otherwise); a process_body_buffer error on the -1 path propagates via ? instead of being masked by InvalidHTTPResponse.
  • hold_failure_behind_unseen_body is gated on has_schedule_callback.swap(false) so the JS-thread-posted second run cannot re-hold the failure; when it triggers, has_more = true makes is_done = false, so the ref transfers to the enqueued task rather than being deref'd in cleanup.
  • Tests: local net.createServer on 127.0.0.1 port 0, await using on the server, no sleeps — reads are pending before send() writes.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR changes three files. In src/http/lib.rs, the two chunked-transfer decode arms merge -1 (invalid) with -2 (needs more) so that already-decoded body bytes pass through process_body_buffer before InvalidHTTPResponse is returned, and dispatch_result_and_reset gains a report_body_decoded_before_failure prelude that emits one extra has_more = true progress callback carrying leftover decoded_body to streaming consumers ahead of the failure result. In src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchTasklet.rs, on_progress_update now detects the case where the HTTP thread posted both body bytes and a terminal failure before the JS thread ran: it strips the failure for this run, delivers the bytes, and in cleanup restores the failure and enqueues a second task (via enqueue_task(Task::init(ptr::from_mut(this)))) carrying this thread's ref; the start_request_stream VM-stopped error exit derefs when a failure was held back. test/js/web/fetch/fetch-chunked-size.test.ts adds a five-case describe block using a raw net server that writes valid chunks followed by a malformed chunk-size line.

Security risks

None identified. The change only affects how already-parsed body bytes are surfaced when a chunked response subsequently fails to parse; no new input is trusted, and picohttpparser's -1 remains the terminal condition. The extra callback is gated to streaming consumers, so buffered consumers (bun install, .text()) still see a single failure result.

Level of scrutiny

High. This touches cross-thread refcounted lifecycle code in FetchTasklet — exactly the class of change REVIEW.md flags as most-blocked ("Reference counts provably balanced on every terminal path"). The new self-enqueued task pattern relies on several invariants: that has_schedule_callback is set only by FetchTasklet::callback (so the second run's swap(false) yields false and cannot re-hold), that the HTTP thread sends nothing after a terminal failure (so no third callback races in between), and that every path out of the first run either reaches cleanup (which enqueues the ref-carrying task) or the start_request_stream error branch (which derefs). The PR description reasons through these carefully and lists an extensive suite run, but the invariants are non-local and a maintainer who owns this code should confirm them.

Other factors

dispatch_result_and_reset is shared by fail, fail_from_h2, and complete_connecting_process; the new prelude is a no-op for the last (no state.fail) and for non-streaming/redirect-pending cases, so scope looks contained, but the h2 path is not exercised by the new tests. The PR notes the CONNECT-tunnel path is untested. The five new tests are hermetic (local net server, port 0, await using, condition-driven — a pending read before send()), cover the same-read/separate-read/gzip/large-chunk matrix, and include the negative case (.text() still rejects). Given zero findings from the bug hunt (dry_streak) but non-trivial refcount-transfer changes, deferring to a human reviewer is the right call rather than approving.

@robobun make row 6 match node.js plz #42261 (comment)

…lformed chunk-size

Node v26.3.0 delivers no bytes in this case: the error tears its
decompressor down before it emits. The -1 arms now return the error for
a compressed body before they keep the decoded bytes, so only an
uncompressed body reports the chunks ahead of the malformed line.

@cirospaciari Done in ab12acd, and re-run on the current head. Row 6 now matches Node, and so does every other row.

The two -1 arms in src/http/lib.rs now return InvalidHTTPResponse for a compressed body before they keep the decoded bytes, so only an uncompressed body reports the chunks ahead of the malformed line. I added row 6b (gzip with the head in an earlier write) to check the other packetization. The gzip test in fetch-chunked-size.test.ts now expects an empty body and then the error.

The main column for row 5 changes from run to run (127946 and 196554 bytes in two runs). It depends on where the socket reads split the 256 KiB: main drops whatever part of the chunk shares the last read with the bad line.

@cirospaciari Please do not merge this yet. My self-review of the approved head found two regressions. I am reproducing them now and will push fixes with tests.

  1. A corrupted gzip body. report_body_decoded_before_failure reports any non-empty decoded_body, so a reader can now get inflater output ahead of ZlibError. main and Node give nothing there. The hook must only report what the two chunked -1 arms kept.
  2. res.body touched, first read one task later (head + chunk + bad line in one write). main errors that stream with InvalidHTTPResponse. On this branch the held failure reaches a ByteStream that exists but has not started, and that path drops the stored error, so the stream ends cleanly with no error. That turns a parse error into a silent truncation, which is worse than the bug this PR fixes.

Two statements in the PR description are also wrong and I will correct them: bun install does set the streaming signal for tarball extraction, and decoded_body is not always empty at failure time.

…once the Response exists

The flush in dispatch_result_and_reset reported any non-empty
decoded_body, so a corrupted gzip body gave a reader inflater output
ahead of ZlibError. The two -1 arms now set has_body_ahead_of_failure
when they keep bytes (fetch only, uncompressed only), and the hook
reports nothing without it.

FetchTasklet held a failure back even before the Response existed. The
Response was then built with a live body, and a body stream made before
its first read dropped the error that arrived next, so the stream ended
cleanly. The failure is now held only once the Response exists. With
the response head in the same read the Response is built from the
failure, as on main.

@cirospaciari Both regressions are confirmed and fixed in 5a92cbd, each with a test that fails on the head you approved (c799f59) and passes on main and on the new head. Your approval was for c799f59, so please look again. The fix costs row 1 its Node parity for now. Details below.

1. Corrupted gzip body gave a reader wrong bytes. The flush in dispatch_result_and_reset reported any non-empty decoded_body, so it also reported what the inflater had written before ZlibError.

8 KiB text, gzip, 2 bytes corrupted, chunked bytes the reader got wrong bytes then
Node v26.3.0 0 0 Z_DATA_ERROR
main 0 0 ZlibError
c799f59 8192 19 ZlibError
5a92cbd 0 0 ZlibError

Fix: the flush is opt-in. Only the two -1 arms set has_body_ahead_of_failure (for fetch(), uncompressed body), and report_body_decoded_before_failure does nothing without it.

2. res.body touched, first read one task later, ended cleanly with no error. Head + 1\r\nx\r\n + bad line in one write:

consumer Node v26.3.0 main c799f59 5a92cbd
const body = res.body, yield, then body.getReader().read() rejects rejects { done: true }, no error rejects
const body = res.body, yield, then new Response(body).arrayBuffer() rejects rejects resolves empty rejects

Cause: c799f59 held the failure back even when the Response did not exist yet. The Response was then built with a live body. A body stream made from it before its first read drops an error that arrives next (ByteStream::append stores it, on_start answers Start::Empty). main builds that Response from the failure (BodyValue::Error), which no consumer can miss. That ByteStream bug is on main too, for a failure that arrives in a later read. #38003 fixes it, but it is stale and conflicts.

Fix: hold_failure_behind_unseen_body now holds the failure only once the Response exists. In that state the outcome for a touched-but-unread stream is the same as on main, so nothing gets worse.

What this costs. When the failure reaches the JS thread before it built the Response, the Response is built from the failure as on main, and the bytes are dropped. That is row 1. It can also be row 5b when the JS thread is slow.

# wire Node v26.3.0 main (e5f9986a4) 5a92cbd
1 head + 1\r\nx\r\n + bad line, one write, read at once "x", then rejects "", then rejects "", then rejects
2 same, reader attaches after 300 ms "", then rejects "", then rejects "", then rejects
3 head first, then 1\r\nx\r\n + bad line in one write "x", then rejects "", then rejects "x", then rejects
4 head + 1\r\nx\r\n, bad line after "x" was read "x", then rejects "x", then rejects "x", then rejects
5 head first, then 256 KiB chunk + bad line in one write 262144 bytes, then rejects 160761 bytes, then rejects 262144 bytes, then rejects
5b head + 256 KiB chunk + bad line, one write 262144 bytes, then rejects 127946 bytes, then rejects (varies) 0 to 262144 bytes, then rejects (all of what arrives after the Response exists)
6, 6b gzip member in one chunk + bad line "", then rejects "", then rejects "", then rejects
7 case 1 with await res.text() rejects rejects rejects

Rows 3, 4, 5, 6, 6b and 7 match Node. Rows 1 and 5b match main, not Node.

To get row 1 back the stored-error path has to be fixed first, which is what #38003 does (on_start must not answer Start::Empty, to_any_blob must not return an empty blob, and the Bun.serve fast path must end its sink with the error). After that the failure can be held before the Response exists too, and rows 1 and 5b match Node. Two ways to sequence it, your call:

I also corrected two wrong statements in the description: bun install does stream tarballs but sets only ResponseBodyStreaming, which the new code does not act on. An S3 download stream uses the same backpressure signals as fetch(), so it is covered.

…e head was reported

A failure that still carries the response head builds the Response from
the failure. Reporting the chunks in a callback of their own ahead of it
let the JS thread build a live body between the two callbacks, so the
outcome depended on thread timing.

@cirospaciari One more commit on top of the fixes above: 3db5d26.

A review comment on 5a92cbd pointed out a timing window in the "head + chunk + bad line in one write" case. The HTTP thread sent the chunks in a callback of their own and then the failure. If the JS thread ran between the two, it built the Response with a live body, and a body stream made before its first read then dropped the failure (the same stored-error path as regression 2). main sends one failure callback there and always builds the Response from the failure.

The -1 arms now keep the chunks only when the response head was already reported (state.cloned_metadata.is_none()). With the head in the same read there is one failure callback again, as on main. With this the PR never builds a live body where main builds an errored one, for every thread interleaving. The table in my previous comment is unchanged by this commit.
