Problem

  • fetch: bound decompressed output to reader demand #43123 bounds what a fetch() body decodes ahead of its reader, but not when the transport ends: finalize_body_on_eof (src/http/InternalState.rs) decodes everything that is held. Through a CONNECT tunnel, a 256 MB gzip body whose origin closes grows the client by 507 to 551 MB.
  • A tunnelled socket is never paused, so the body and the close arrive together. On a direct TLS socket a close_notify in one read does the same: 3 of 30 runs grew 288 MB.

Fix

  • When every wire byte is in, the request ends and its connection returns to the pool. The final result carries a HeldBody: the undecoded input and decoder (to_result, src/http/lib.rs).
  • FetchTasklet owns it. Each reader pull decodes one pass in a work-pool Job (drive_held_body), and .text() decodes the rest in one. An abort, a cancel, or a collected Response drops it.
  • A gzip body that arrived whole before a consumer attached (fetch: restore the one-shot gzip inflate for text() and arrayBuffer() #43386) takes the same path, so Signals::hold_for_consumer is gone. Nothing outlives its socket, so there is no registry.
  • Verified: test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts (five new cases fail on main). Also the fetch compression, abort, h2, h3 and proxy suites.

Background

  • The budget is 256 KB per pull. While the wire is live, undecoded input stays in InternalState::compressed_body.
  • Only a consumer that sets Options::takes_held_body gets a HeldBody. The S3 download stream does not: its last chunk is decoded in full.
  • A bun_jsc::Job runs on the work pool and completes on the JS thread. A VM that stops waits for it, then drops it unrun.
Notes

Measured (debug build with ASAN, origin and proxy in a node process, reader takes 16 chunks 100 ms apart, 256 MB is 270 KB on the wire):

CONNECT tunnel, origin closes after the body       main        this PR
  256 MB gzip, Content-Length                      +509 MB     +52 MB
  256 MB gzip, chunked                             +507 MB     +52 MB
  256 MB gzip, close-delimited                     +507 MB     +52 MB
  1 GiB gzip, Content-Length                       +1278 MB    +55 MB
CONNECT tunnel, keep-alive                         +40 MB      +54 MB

.bytes() over a 512 MB zstd body with one budget already buffered (6b5d6da): peak RSS (VmHWM) grows by 1029 MB when the pass is copied onto the buffer, and by 802 MB now that the pass becomes the buffer.

A rest that is short ends on the HTTP thread (985938d): with the last of a body it decodes up to 64 KB more than the budget (HELD_BODY_MIN), so such a body needs no work-pool job. A paused consumer gets the same 64 KB.

Every byte still arrives.

  • Through the tunnel, 24 MB bodies: Content-Length, chunked and close-delimited, each with a fast reader, a slow reader and .bytes(). 9 of 9 exact. Keep-alive: 2 of 2.
  • Direct sockets that close after the body: 288 cases (12 sizes, 4 encodings, 3 payloads, 2 framings) with a streaming reader, and the same 288 with .bytes(). All exact.
  • await (await fetch(url)).text() racing the first pass: 600 of 600 in a debug build.

What each end of a held body does.

  • Damage in the held part rejects the read with ZlibError, after the eight good budgets before it.
  • AbortSignal: the pending read, or a later .text(), rejects with AbortError.
  • A collected Response: 40 of 40 tasklets are freed (counted from the FetchTasklet debug log).
  • A worker that terminates with one held body at rest and one inside a decode pass exits clean under ASAN.
  • A Response that outlives the Bun.ModuleGraph that fetched it: dispose() ends its body with AbortError. The end of an unread body is the tasklet's own task (ContextId::NONE), so it runs in a stopped context too and settles the body before the tasklet is freed.
  • A streaming upload that is still underway when the response is complete on the wire is cancelled at that point, as it is for an identity body. The Response keeps the rest of its body.

Also in this PR.

Not in this PR. h2 and h3 still decode what arrives. The same hand-off fits them at END_STREAM. The S3 download task takes no HeldBody yet, so what one socket read left undecoded when the wire completes is decoded at once for it. S3 streams and .bytes() of an 8 MB object are exact for gzip, br and zstd with Content-Length, chunked and close-delimited framing (9 of 9), and gzip from S3: a reader that takes a little holds a little covers its budget.

Local runs that fail the same way on main's src/ (slow debug build, no IPv6, root user): fetch-tcp-stress, one case of fetch-leak, some cases of fetch.test.ts and fetch.stream.test.ts.


no test proof · iteration 5 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts

…ed whole at EOF

The decode budget from #43123 stopped at the end of the transport.
`finalize_body_on_eof` decodes everything that is held, and a lot is held
whenever the end arrives while the reader is behind:

- Through a CONNECT tunnel, whose socket is never paused, all of the body and
  then the origin's close reach the client at once. A 256 MB-logical zstd or
  gzip body (270 KB on the wire) grew the client by 507 to 551 MB whether it
  ended by Content-Length, chunked or close; 1 GiB-logical by 1278 MB.
- On a direct TLS connection the socket is paused, which defers a FIN but not
  a close_notify that came in with the body: 3 of 30 runs grew by 288 MB for
  a 64 MB-logical body.

Now the end of the transport marks the body complete and decodes one budgeted
pass like any other read. If input is still held, the client registers in
`socketless_bodies` by `async_http_id` and stays alive without a socket. The
consumer's pulls (`drain_queued_receive_resumes`) decode the rest a pass at a
time through `send_progress_update_without_socket`, the socket-free update
h2 and h3 already use, and an abort (`drain_queued_shutdowns`) fails it. The
entry is removed by `unregister_abort_tracker`, which every terminal path runs
before the client is freed. A tunnel whose inner TLS stream closes first keeps
draining through its outer socket until the proxy closes that too.

Also: the CONNECT test from #43123 never reached its proxy where the ambient
NO_PROXY lists 127.0.0.1. The client env now drops the proxy variables and
the test asserts that the proxy saw the CONNECT.

Walkthrough

The HTTP client can return compressed response data for decoding after transport completion. FetchTasklet retains and decodes this data according to consumer demand. Tests cover framing, proxy tunnels, deferred errors, aborts, workers, secure responses, and connection reuse.

Changes

Held body decompression

Layer / File(s) Summary
HTTP held-body contract
src/http/AsyncHTTP.rs, src/http/Decompressor.rs, src/http/InternalState.rs, src/http/Signals.rs, src/http/lib.rs
HTTP options and results now support retained compressed bodies. HeldBody resumes decoding into a byte vector with an output limit.
HTTP deferred decode and completion
src/http/ProxyTunnel.rs, src/http/lib.rs, src/http/InternalState.rs, src/http/Signals.rs
HTTP/1.1 decompression defers while consumers are paused, discards input for abandoned bodies, and separates transport completion from pending decoding. Close-delimited responses use the body-finalization path.
Fetch held-body execution
src/runtime/webcore/fetch/FetchTasklet.rs
FetchTasklet stores held bodies, schedules bounded or unlimited decode jobs, publishes decoded output, and updates request cleanup after transport completion.
Backpressure and connection validation
test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts
Tests cover body framing, CONNECT tunnels, deferred errors, aborts, worker termination, secure responses, and connection reuse.

Status

Reproduced on main (0ffd5b2, debug build with ASAN). The origin and the CONNECT proxy run in a separate node process.

  • An https origin behind a CONNECT proxy sends a gzip body that decodes to 1 GiB, then closes. The client reads 16 chunks, 100 ms apart. RSS grows by 1278 MB on main and by 55 MB with this PR.
  • The same request with a 256 MB body grows by 507 to 509 MB on main for Content-Length, chunked, and close-delimited bodies. With this PR it grows by 52 MB.
  • In test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts, five cases fail on main's src/ and pass with this PR: the three zstd through a CONNECT proxy cases that end with a close (about +550 MB on main), the connection reuse case (4 connections on main, 1 here), and the upload case.

The fix is in this PR: #43169.

CI on 31132d6: the diff is green. The one red test is test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts (an idle reader stopped at the highwater mark) on the x64-asan lane. It fails the same way on PRs that do not touch spawn or fetch, and it is reported to main-break triage. This PR does not touch spawn.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

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

  • 🟡 src/http/lib.rs — nit: A maintainer reading the SAFETY invariant of from_erased_backref is told every stored NonNull lives in a holder the client outlives, which the new SOCKETLESS_BODIES static contradicts. The map at src/http/lib.rs:929 outlives every client; its entries are safe only because unregister_abort_tracker removes them before the client is freed. Fix: extend the INVARIANT list at src/http/lib.rs:851-858 to name socketless_bodies and state its removal-before-free rule, so the comment the unsafe block cites stays accurate.

    Extended reasoning...

    src/http/lib.rs:1175 socketless_body() calls HTTPClient::from_erased_backref on a pointer taken from the SOCKETLESS_BODIES static map. The doc comment at lib.rs:851-858 says every NonNull reaching from_erased_backref is stored in an intrusive container (h2/h3 Stream.client, PendingConnect.waiters, ClientSession.pending_attach, socket ext slots) whose holder is strictly outlived by the HTTPClient's embedding AsyncHTTP. A process-lifetime static is the opposite: it outlives the client, and the guarantee that no dangling pointer is dereferenced comes from unregister_abort_tracker at lib.rs:1821-1823 running on every terminal path (fail at 4047, done at 4423, redirect at 4472, on_close at 2154). The unsafe block at lib.rs:866 cites this comment as its SAFETY argument, so the argument is now incomplete. Consequence: a future terminal path that skips unregister_abort_tracker would leave a dangling entry and the comment would not warn the author; the base branch had no such holder.

    Verification: nit. Triggering condition: any maintainer reading the SAFETY justification for the unsafe block in from_erased_backref after this change merges. Mechanism verified: /home/claude/bun/src/http/lib.rs:851-858 (unchanged by the diff) states "INVARIANT: every NonNull<HTTPClient<'static>> reaching here is a back-ref ... stored in an intrusive container (h2/h3 Stream.client,… | nit.…

Agreed. The map exists because the object that I kept alive is the HTTP client. A client without a socket has no owner and no address: every cross-thread message (resume, abort) finds its request through the socket. The review found two more symptoms of the same problem. The client keeps an active request slot with no timer, and it still reports can_stream for an upload that has no socket.

New shape, which I am building now: the rest of the body is a value, and the consumer owns it.

  • When every wire byte has arrived and some input is still undecoded, the client finishes the request as usual. It sends the terminal result, releases or closes the socket, and frees its slot. The terminal result carries a HeldBody: the undecoded input plus the decoder.
  • FetchTasklet keeps the HeldBody. Each reader pull decodes one 256 KB pass from it in a work-pool Job. .text() decodes the rest in one job. A cancel or a GC of the Response drops it.
  • No client outlives its socket. The map, outlive_socket, and the special cases that fetch: bound decompressed output to reader demand #43123 added for a body that is complete but held (timeout, close, tunnel close) all go away. A keep-alive connection is also released when its body is complete on the wire. Today it parks with a slow reader.
  • Only a consumer that can take a HeldBody gets a budgeted decode. The S3 download stream does not take one yet, so it decodes eagerly, as it did before fetch: bound decompressed output to reader demand #43123.

The same hand-off fits h2 and h3 at END_STREAM. I will keep that for a follow-up.

If this is more than you want for this bug, the small alternative is no new map: the abort tracker value becomes an enum with a Detached(client) arm, and the client gives up its slot and its request side when the socket goes. Say so and I will do that instead.

…consumer

When every wire byte of a compressed body has arrived and the consumer's
decode budget has left part of it undecoded, the request now ends as usual.
The final result carries a HeldBody: the undecoded input and the decoder.
FetchTasklet owns it and decodes one budget per reader pull in a work-pool
job. No client outlives its socket, so the socketless registry is gone, and
so are the special cases for a body that is complete but held.

@Jarred-Sumner pushed in 0760886. The map is gone, and so is the client that outlived its socket.

  • When every wire byte of the body is in, the request ends, read or not. The final result carries a HeldBody: the undecoded input plus the decoder (to_result, InternalState::take_held_body).
  • FetchTasklet owns the HeldBody. Each reader pull decodes one 256 KB pass in a bun_jsc::Job. .text() decodes the rest in one job. An abort, a cancel, or a collected Response drops it. A worker that terminates waits for a pass that is out, then drops it unrun.
  • The fetch: bound decompressed output to reader demand #43123 special cases for a body that is complete but held are removed (on_timeout, is_body_complete_on_close, the two is_done && !pending overrides). A keep-alive connection returns to the pool when its body is complete on the wire.
  • The S3 download stream takes no HeldBody yet. It keeps its budget while the wire is live, and its last chunk is decoded in full (f8ef451).

Numbers for your 1 GiB gzip through CONNECT with a close: +1278 MB on main, +55 MB here (debug build with ASAN). The rest is in the PR body.

The from_erased_backref invariant note from the review no longer applies: no static holds a client pointer now.

…le the wire is live

The S3 download stream reads under the same backpressure signals as fetch,
and takes no HeldBody. It keeps its per-pass budget until the last chunk.
The last chunk is decoded in full for it, as a close did before.

Beyond the inline finding, two other things were checked this round: the new is_body_abandoned discard in process_received_body (src/http/lib.rs:4112) is reached only from h1 call sites, so h2/h3 END_STREAM handling (still finalize_body_on_eof) is unchanged by it; and the S3 per-pass budget concern from the previous round is addressed in f8ef451 — decodes_on_demand no longer requires takes_held_body, and only the final chunk of a non-taker is uncapped.

Extended reasoning...

A confirmed use-after-free finding on the HeldBodyPass job under a stopped module-graph context is posted inline, and a CHANGES_REQUESTED review from a maintainer is outstanding, so approval is not on the table. This note only records what else was examined and ruled out in this run: the h1-only reach of the new abandoned-body discard (grep shows process_received_body is called solely from lib.rs h1 paths; h2/h3 ClientSession still call finalize_body_on_eof), and that the latest commit reworked decodes_on_demand/decompress_output_cap(is_final_chunk) so demand-driven consumers without takes_held_body (S3) keep the 256 KB per-pass budget on non-final chunks.

One verified lower-impact observation (a convention, logging or cleanup point) was not posted.

…xt too

A decode pass whose context stopped is released unrun, and the end of an
unread body was such a pass. The tasklet was then freed with the Response
body still locked on it. The end of the body is now the tasklet's own task,
which runs whatever became of the context, as the HTTP thread's last result
does. A pass that is released unrun queues the same task.

I ran the tests of #43386 against this branch's src/ at 31132d6. One case times out, and I do not know if that is intended.

  • held, and its Response is collected: the fetch is aborted times out after 5 s, in 3 of 3 runs. It takes about 0.5 s on main (367d939) and on fetch: restore the one-shot gzip inflate for text() and arrayBuffer() #43386.
  • The case: the origin sends the head and a complete gzip body in one write (1 MB decoded, 6 KB on the wire, Content-Length) and keeps the connection open. The client awaits fetch(), never reads the body, drops the Response, and then runs Bun.gc(true) in a loop until the origin sees its socket close. On this branch the close does not come in 5 s.
  • The three cases that main already has, a long <framing> body, Response collected: its fetch is aborted, pass on the same build. So this is specific to a compressed body that is already complete when the Response is collected.

If that is intended (for example the body completes and the connection goes back to the pool), the case in #43386 needs a different expectation once this lands. If it is not, this may be a Response that keeps its connection after it is collected.

To reproduce: take test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts from #43386 over this branch's src/, then run

bun bd test test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts -t 'its Response is collected: the fetch is aborted'

Separately, both PRs rewrite process_received_body, so one of them needs a merge. The Notes of #43386 have the details, including that its debug-log case still fails on this branch (the libdeflate attempt, then a zlib pass).

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 24, 2026
…#43386)

### Problem
- Since #43123, a gzip response body that inflates to between 512 KB and
32 MB costs 1.5 to 2.2x the client CPU (as reported) when it is read
with `arrayBuffer()` or `text()`.
- One exact-size libdeflate call used to inflate a body that arrived
whole. It usually arrives before the caller has the `Response`, so the
mode is still `Flowing`. `decompress_bytes`
(`src/http/InternalState.rs`) budgets `Flowing` at 256 KB and runs zlib
passes.

### Fix
- `FetchTasklet` starts in a new receive mode, `Unclaimed`: no consumer
has attached. It is demand-driven, like `Flowing`.
- When such a body is complete and undecoded, `process_received_body`
(`src/http/lib.rs`) moves `Unclaimed -> Paused` and decodes nothing. The
consumer that attaches resumes the transport. `BufferAll` gets the
libdeflate call, and a reader gets budgeted zlib passes.
- Correct because one compare-and-swap from `Unclaimed` decides who was
first. A held body is decoded only when a consumer attaches or its
connection ends (Notes).
- Verified: 23 new cases in
`test/js/web/fetch/fetch-backpressure.test.ts`. The debug-log case fails
on main with two zlib passes. The whole file passes.

### Background
- `BodyReceiveMode` (`src/http/Signals.rs`) is the receive backpressure
for a body handed to JS. Under `Flowing` and `Paused` the client decodes
at most 256 KB per pass. `BufferAll` (`.text()`, `.arrayBuffer()`) never
pauses.
- libdeflate inflates a whole buffer into a whole buffer, so it cannot
stop at a budget. zlib can, but is slower.
- A gzip stream ends with ISIZE, the decoded size. It sizes the
libdeflate output, up to 32 MB.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**#43169 rewrites the same function. Please read this before choosing a
merge order.** #43169 (open) rewrites `process_received_body` and gives
`decompress_output_cap` a parameter, so the two PRs conflict there. It
does not fix this regression. I built its `src/` at 31132d6 under
this PR's tests: the debug-log case still fails, with the libdeflate
attempt followed by a zlib pass over the body. So both changes are
needed, and the one that lands second has to carry the hold through the
other's `process_received_body`. One more case of this PR, `held, and
its Response is collected: the fetch is aborted`, times out after 5 s on
that build, in 3 of 3 runs. It takes 0.5 s on main and here. The three
collected-`Response` cases that main already has pass on that build, so
this is specific to a body that is complete and held when the `Response`
is collected. I do not know if that is an intended change in #43169 or a
hang. The test helper edits (`serveConnectProxy` counts CONNECTs) are
the same lines in both PRs.

**Where the numbers come from.** Release builds of fd8422c (then
main) with and without this diff, and of b52d513 (before #43123). This
PR is the same diff on 367d939: it applied without changes, and none
of the commits in between touch these hunks. I did not measure again
after that rebase. Client CPU is `process.cpuUsage()` per request over
keep-alive fetches of one gzip body. The origin is a separate process on
other cores. The host is shared and ran at load 40 to 75. A 7-run median
moved by about 13% between runs there, so only ratios inside one run are
comparable.

Median us CPU per request, 9 interleaved runs x 1000 requests,
`arrayBuffer()`, before #43123 / main / this diff:

```
  524,288 B (control)   215 /   221 /   234   ranges overlap
  786,432 B             316 /   419 /   286
1,048,576 B             431 /   534 /   381
1,572,864 B             552 /   751 /   547
4,194,304 B           1,904 / 2,315 / 1,949
```

Main is 1.22 to 1.36x here. This diff is within noise of the cost before
#43123 on every size in the band. The ratios below 1.00 are noise, not a
speedup: this diff does two more thread hops per response than the old
code. `text()` gives the same shape (1 MiB 569 / 704 / 570). So does an
origin that sends the head a tick before the body (1 MiB 323 / 442 /
316), which is the path where the hold happens with no callback.

A `res.body` reader costs the same as on main (1 MiB 629 / 585, 4 MiB
1,969 / 1,972). A 300 B keep-alive body, 15 runs x 3000 requests in two
orders: 43 / 44 / 44 and 45 / 46 / 45.

I did not use `bench/snippets/fetch-gzip.mjs`. It runs the server in the
client process and reports wall time. On this host its unchanged rows
moved by 20 to 27% between binaries, so it could not resolve the effect.

**What the tests prove.** One case discriminates, and only in a debug
build: it reads the `HTTPInternalState` debug log and expects one
`Decompressing N bytes with libdeflate` line. On main it also sees
`Decompressing 6167 bytes` and `Decompressing 4583 bytes`, the two zlib
passes. From JavaScript the two paths deliver the same bytes by design,
so nothing else can tell them apart. The other 22 cases pass on main
too. They guard the new state: both framings, a buffered consumer and a
reader, the body arriving with the head, after the head, and after the
consumer, TLS, a CONNECT tunnel, an origin that closes the connection or
the tunnel before a consumer attaches, a `Response` nobody reads (the
process exits), and a collected `Response` (the fetch is aborted).

The CONNECT proxy cases clear `NO_PROXY` and the proxy variables for the
child and assert that the proxy saw one CONNECT. An ambient `NO_PROXY`
that lists 127.0.0.1 makes `fetch()` ignore its `proxy` option, and the
case then passes without a tunnel. I observed 0 CONNECTs that way and 1
with the variables cleared.

**Please check this one.** `handle_response_body_from_multiple_packets`
no longer sets `is_libdeflate_fast_path_disabled` after a pass over the
final chunk. It sets it before a pass over a non-final chunk only. A
held body needs the flag to stay clear so that the later pass can use
libdeflate. I believe the rest is unchanged: `decompress_bytes` sets the
flag itself when it enters the libdeflate block, and every later call
sees a decoder that is not `None`. The chunked paths never set it after
a final chunk.

**At the end of the transport.** The first version of this description
said that nothing is decoded for a `Response` that nobody reads. That is
true only while the connection is open. A review pointed out that
`finalize_body_on_eof` decodes whatever is held with no budget, and a
held body reaches it whole. Through a CONNECT tunnel the socket is never
paused, so an origin that closes an idle connection gets there before
any consumer. I confirmed it: a `res.body` reader whose tunnel closed
first got its body from one `Decompressing 6167 bytes with libdeflate`
call. Main has the same gap for the part of a body it has not decoded
yet (#43123 lists it as still unbounded), and the hold never decodes
more than main does. It does not close the gap. #43169 is the change
that bounds it, so I did not copy that work here. The four close cases
assert exact bytes, not memory.

**What the hold costs.** A reader of a held body gets its first chunk
one thread round trip later. A held body that nobody reads keeps its
connection with nothing decoded, where main keeps it with 256 KB
decoded. For a gzip stream with a truthful trailer, the set of bodies is
a subset of what #43123 already parks (a decoded size of 256 KB or
more). The hold trusts the trailer. A stream whose trailer overstates
its size is held too, where main would decode it and free the
connection. That gives a server nothing new: it can already make a
client park a connection with a real body of that size, which is a few
KB on the wire.

**Unchanged.** Bodies up to 512 KB, deflate, brotli and zstd, HTTP/2 and
HTTP/3 (they start `Unclaimed` but are never held, because their output
cap is unbounded), S3 (its `Store` still starts `Flowing`), and any body
that arrives in more than one read.

… its consumer

main's #43386 held such a body in the HTTP client (Unclaimed -> Paused) until a
consumer attached. Here the request ends and the body goes to the consumer as a
HeldBody, so that hold is gone:

- process_received_body decodes nothing of it while no consumer has attached.
- HeldBody::decode inflates it in one exact-size libdeflate call for a consumer
  that takes the whole body. A reader gets budgeted zlib passes.
- FetchTasklet decodes nothing of a held body until a consumer attaches.
- Signals::hold_for_consumer is removed.

The test of a collected Response with a held body expected the origin to see
its connection close. The request has ended by then and the connection is back
in the pool, so the test now counts the freed tasklets and the decode passes.

…f copying it

When .text() takes the rest of a held body, the decoded output can be far
larger than the bytes already buffered. Copying it onto the buffer doubled peak
memory. The buffered bytes now go in front of the output, and the output
becomes the buffer.

The collected-Response test now runs its client without proxy variables, and
its GC loop is bounded so that a tasklet that is never freed fails the count.
The debug-log tests in fetch-backpressure.test.ts count decode passes. A zlib
pass over a held body wrote no log line, so a fallback from the one libdeflate
call to zlib was invisible to them.
The collected-Response case asserts that no pass is logged while the bodies
are held. After they are freed, the client now reads one more body, and the
test expects exactly one pass from it.
A held body is the undecoded rest of a response whose transport is done. Its
consumer decodes it in work-pool jobs, and the first job starts pool threads.
That is not worth it for a short rest.

- With the last of a body, the HTTP thread decodes up to 64 KB more than the
  budget. A body that ends inside that leaves no held body.
- A paused consumer gets the same 64 KB with the last of a body.
- A zlib pass over a held body is tagged in the debug log, so a test can tell
  it from a pass on the HTTP thread.

Three comments still said that the HTTP client keeps a complete body and that
the consumer resumes it. The Response keeps the body now. No code change.
