Problem

  • A node:http server upgrades a request to a WebSocket from the request's body handler (wss.handleUpgrade() inside req.on("end") of an Upgrade request with a body). After that, the next request on any other connection of the server stops the parser after its first request. Requests pipelined behind it get no response and the connection stays open. Node answers all of them.
  • HttpResponse::upgrade() sets httpContextData->upgradedWebSocket while the parser runs. Only the request handler in HttpContext::onData checks the field (HttpContext.h:560). The data handler does not. After an upgrade from inStream() it writes into the destroyed HttpResponseData and returns the socket. onData takes its normal path and never resets the field. The next request on another connection sees the stale field after route() and returns nullptr.

Fix

  • The data handler returns nullptr when upgradedWebSocket is set after inStream() returns, like it does for a closed socket. onData then takes its upgrade path, which uncorks the WebSocket and resets the field.
  • upgrade() sets the field only for the socket onData parses (httpContextData->parsingSocket). A body handler can upgrade another connection's parked request. To the parser that is an async upgrade, and the parsed connection keeps going.
  • The parser's Content-Length branches (HttpParser.h, three places) update remainingStreamingBytes before they call the data handler, like the chunked branch does. A handler that upgrades destroys the HttpResponseData the parser lives in. A handler that only shuts the socket down leaves it alive, and onEnd reads the count from it.
  • Verified: test/js/first_party/ws/ws.test.ts (three new cases: body in the same read as the head, body in a read of its own, upgrade of another connection from the body handler; all fail on bun 1.4.3). Also the rest of that file, test/js/node/http/node-http*.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts and test/js/bun/websocket/.

Background

  • HttpContext::onData runs the HTTP parser on each read. The parser calls a request handler for each request head and a data handler for each body chunk. A handler returns the socket to continue, or nullptr to stop.
  • HttpResponse::upgrade() adopts the socket into the WebSocket context in place. It destroys the HttpResponseData in the socket ext, which also holds the parser state. It then sets upgradedWebSocket so that onData knows the socket changed.
  • onData tells a stopped parse apart by that field: nullptr with the field set means upgraded, without it means closed.

Fixes #43163

Notes
  • Repro: the script in node:http: a WebSocket upgrade from a request body handler stops the parser for the next request on another connection #43163. On main it prints ["/one"] (no answer to /two after 3 s). With this change it prints ["/one","/two"] (connection closed). The same for a body in the same read as the head and for a chunked body.
  • The node:http tunnel data event (JSNodeHTTPServerSocket::onData) is posted as a task, so JS never runs inside onSocketData. No check is needed there.
  • Bun.serve does not reach the data-handler upgrade path: server.upgrade(req) after await req.text() returns true on main, and a second connection with two pipelined requests gets both responses.
  • The parsingSocket guard is the same idea as uws: only flag the parsed socket as upgraded in HttpResponse::upgrade() #37463, which also removes isParsingHttp. This PR keeps that flag. Bun.serve: parse WebSocket frames that arrive in the same read as the upgrade request #43153 dispatches the bytes after the request head to the WebSocket. Neither covers an upgrade from the data handler.
  • The first version of this PR returned from the Content-Length branches before the state update. On a TLS socket that a handler shut down, onEnd would then have reported a spurious HPE_INVALID_EOF. Review caught it. The update now runs before the handler.
  • test/js/bun/websocket/websocket-server.test.ts has 9 to 10 timeouts in this container under the debug build, on main and with this change alike (the tests that run concurrently with the 10-client benchmark). They pass in isolation. serve.test.ts has two failures that come from running as root in the container.

HttpResponse::upgrade() sets httpContextData->upgradedWebSocket while the
parser runs. Only the request handler in HttpContext::onData checked the
field. A body handler that upgrades (node:http: wss.handleUpgrade() from
req.on("end") of an Upgrade request with a body) returned to the data
handler, which wrote into the destroyed HttpResponseData and returned the
socket as if nothing had happened. onData took its normal path and never
reset the field. The next request on any other connection of the server
saw the stale field after route(), stopped the parser, and requests
pipelined behind it got no response.

The data handler now returns nullptr when upgradedWebSocket is set after
inStream() returns, like it does for a closed socket. onData then takes
the upgrade path, which uncorks the WebSocket and resets the field. The
parser's Content-Length branches no longer update remainingStreamingBytes
(a member of the destroyed HttpResponseData) after a handler took the
socket.

…ore the body handler

upgrade() set upgradedWebSocket for any socket while a parse was in
progress. A body handler that upgrades another connection's parked
request made the data handler check stop the parse of the wrong socket.
upgrade() now compares against httpContextData->parsingSocket before
the adoption.

The Content-Length branches of the parser now update
remainingStreamingBytes before they call the data handler, like the
chunked branch does. A handler that only shuts the socket down leaves
the HttpResponseData alive, and onEnd reads the count from it. A handler
that upgrades destroys it, and nothing touches it after the call.

over. Node is the reference: every scenario was run under Node and under
Bun from one script, and the outputs were compared.

Each of these has a repro that is wrong on Bun 1.4.3, right on this
branch, and the same as Node.

| Issue | Not closed by this PR, because |
| --- | --- |
| #30501 (msal-node keeps Bun alive at exit) | Probably fixed. The repro
copies the teardown of msal-node. The package itself was not run. |
| #14430 (yarn: "does not support SSL") | Probably fixed.
`response.hasOwnProperty("socket")` is now `true`. yarn itself was not
run. |
| #39681 (`server.setTimeout` callback after destroy) | Probably fixed.
The repro is the deterministic case of #39686. The script in the issue
depends on timing and on Windows. |
| #43455 (`req.complete`, nine flows) | Partially addressed. Flows 1, 2,
3, 5 and 7 are fixed, and flow 6 was already right. Flow 8 (a socket
timeout while the body of an Upgrade request arrives) and flow 9 (a
request that `stream.pipeline()` destroyed never reports `complete`) are
not. Flow 4 differs only in `_readableState.ended`. |

### What changes for users

| Area | Before | After (same as Node) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `req.pause()` | The socket stops at once. `req.complete` stays `false`
for a small body. | The body is received until the buffer is full. Then
the socket stops. |
| `res.end()` before the body arrives | `req` gets `'end'` and `'close'`
at once, and the body is lost | The request completes when its body
really ends |
| `res.destroy()` in the middle of a body | `'end'` with bytes missing |
`aborted`, then `ECONNRESET` |
| `socket.destroy()` inside the `'request'` listener | The body that
came with the head is dropped | That body is still delivered |
| `'finish'` and the `end()` callback | Fire when `end()` buffers the
bytes | Fire when the last bytes have left the socket |
| A response that closes the connection | The server half-closes and
waits for the peer | The socket closes right behind the FIN |
| `'drain'` after a later write flushed the backlog | Lost. `pipe(res)`
could hang. | Emitted |
| A pipelined request whose body continues after the previous response
ends | Body dropped, no response, `server.close()` hangs | Delivered |
| CONNECT and Upgrade tunnel sockets | Keep reading when paused or full
| Stop reading. `_read()` starts them again. |
| A tunnel write that waits for a drain when the client goes away | Its
callback, the callbacks of the writes behind it and the `end()` callback
never run | They run with an error before `'close'` |
| Upgrade request with a body, paused in its listener | The body flows
away | The request keeps its body |
| `ws` on a reused keep-alive socket | Writes after the Upgrade could
stall | Sent |
| A raw `socket.write()` behind a response that still drains (the 400
for a bad pipelined request, the reply of a `'clientError'` listener) |
Lands in the middle of that response | Sent after it |
| `server.close()` | Could report closed while connections were open |
Waits for every connection. An idle tunnel does not keep the process
alive. |
| `closeAllConnections()` on a listening server | Also stops the
listener and destroys tunnels and WebSockets | Destroys only the HTTP
connections |
| `Proxy-Connection: close` (node:http only) | Ignored. The connection
stays open. | Ends the connection, like `Connection: close` |
| A response larger than 16 KB, also in `Bun.serve` and over TLS | Up to
4 `send()` calls for each chunk. Slower than Node in most cases. | One
write for the writes of one tick. 1.1x to 2.7x the requests per second
of main, and faster than Node. |
| `socket.destroy()` and then `res.end()` in a listener | (this PR,
earlier) `req` ended as if it were complete | `'aborted'`, then
`ECONNRESET` |
| `emit('connection')` or http2 `allowHTTP1`: the response ends while
the listener still reads the body | The rest of the body is dropped |
The body is complete |
| `httpValidation: "relaxed"`, `Content-Length` or `Transfer-Encoding`
in trailers | Accepted | `HPE_INVALID_CONTENT_LENGTH`,
`HPE_INVALID_TRANSFER_ENCODING` |
| `req.complete` inside `'connect'`, and inside `'upgrade'` without a
body | `false` | `true` |
| `optimizeEmptyRequests`: `socket.parser.incoming` after the response |
Keeps the request alive on an idle connection | `null` |
| A HEAD or OPTIONS request with `Content-Length` | The body is dropped,
and `req.complete` is `true` before it comes | The request has its body
|
| `res.end(chunk)` after the client went away | `finished` and
`writableEnded` stay `false`, no `'prefinish'` | The response ends |
| An HTTP/1.0 request with an `Expect` header | `100 Continue`,
`'checkContinue'`, `'checkExpectation'` or a 417 | A plain `'request'` |
| The idle sweep of `close()` and `closeIdleConnections()` | Could
destroy a connection that was still receiving a request, or whose
response was still draining | Closes only idle connections |

### Design

| Piece | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| Request body state | `None / Pending / Complete / Aborted / Upgraded /
Detached`. Only the last chunk sets `Complete`. One function,
`leave_pending`, is the only other way out of `Pending`. |
| Read flow control | One path: `push()` returning false stops the
socket, `_read()` starts it. Both native pause buffers are removed: no
read is copied and replayed. |
| "This read is parsed" signal | `notifyWhenReadParsed()` sets a uws
state bit. uws delivers a `readParsed` event after the read. It replaces
a `setImmediate`. |
| Close during a parse | One uws bit defers a close to the end of the
current message. |
| Response finish | A response is finished when it has ended and the
socket has fully drained. |
| Idle connection | One rule, `HttpResponse::closeIfIdle()`. A
connection is idle when it receives no request (head or body) and no
response is in flight, queued or undrained. The sweep of `close()` and
`closeIdleConnections()` both use it. |
| Idle tunnel | A tunnel at read EOF with nothing left to send. uws
reports it to the server through the connection filter (`-3`, `+3`,
`-4`). It still counts for `'close'`, but it does not hold the event
loop, like a libuv handle in that state. |
| Server `'close'` | One native close promise per `listen()`. `close()`
records whether its sweep left nothing open. Then a `listen()` in the
same tick cannot hold `'close'` back, as in
`net.Server._emitCloseIfDrained`. |
| Raw socket writes | While uws holds response bytes (its buffer, the
zero-copy tail of a `res.write()`, the cork buffer), a raw write goes
through `AsyncSocket::write`, the path a 1xx line takes. So the order on
the wire is the order of the calls. |
| Upgrade verdict | One scanner and one verdict, shared by the parser
and the dispatcher. |
| llhttp | Updated from 9.3.0 to 9.4.2, as Node v26.5.0 vendors it, plus
one local patch (see below). Node v26.5.1 and later vendor 9.4.3. That
update is not in this PR. |

The parser changes also tighten request framing so that it agrees with
llhttp in more cases. There is no new API surface.

### A pause holds from the next read

The copy of the rest of a read (`nodeHttpPausedSpill`), its replay from
a posted task and the nested parse are removed. Like in Node, the rest
of the read that caused a pause is still parsed, and the socket stops at
the next read. usockets reads up to 512 KB in one call. libuv reads 64
KB.

| One paused, unread request (client sends 64 MB) | Bytes held |
| --- | --- |
| Node 25.6 | 131,018 |
| This pull request | 524,234 |

The price is in one case. A client sends 512 KB of small pipelined
requests (19,418 of them) and never reads. Each handler answers with its
own 64 KB body:

| Handler | Runtime | Requests dispatched | RSS |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Answers at once | Node 26.3 | 2,425 | +177 MB |
| Answers at once | main | 41 | +9 MB |
| Answers at once | This PR | 2,425 | +171 MB |
| Answers one tick later | Node 26.3 | 4,850 | +336 MB |
| Answers one tick later | main | 2,426 | +181 MB |
| Answers one tick later | This PR | 4,850 | +330 MB |

Release builds on Linux x64. This PR now does what Node does. main held
fewer responses, mostly for a handler that answers at once. On macOS one
read can return all 512 KB. There, Bun 1.4.3 already reached +951 MB for
the handler that answers one tick later, and Node reached +1,294 MB.
`server.maxRequestsPerSocket` bounds it.

### Performance

#### Responses larger than 16 KB are faster, and now faster than Node

On main, a response that did not fit the 16 KB uWS cork buffer released
the cork. After that, each piece was its own `send()`: the buffered
head, the chunk-size line, the data, the `\r\n` and the last chunk. Over
TLS, each 2-byte piece was also its own record. Two changes fix that,
for `Bun.serve` and for node:http:

| Change | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| A write that does not fit goes out with the cork buffer and its
framing in one vectored write | No copy is added. Over TLS, the records
of all the pieces share the write batch that one `SSL_write` loop
already had. |
| The cork buffer holds 128 KB, up from 16 KB. Only a write of 16 KB or
less is copied into it, as before. | Several writes in one tick go out
in one write, like in Node. A longer write still goes out without a
copy. |

The bytes on the wire are the same. The vectored write uses `sendmsg()`
with the flags that `send()` uses.

Write syscalls for one response:

| Response | Node 26.3 | main | This PR |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4 x `res.write(16 KB)` | 1 | 16 | 1 |
| 40 x `res.write(2 KB)` | 1 | 16 | 1 |
| `res.end(64 KB)` | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| 256 KB file, `.pipe(res)` | 4 | 16 | 5 |

Throughput (req/s, the mean of 2 rounds). Node v26.3.0, main
`97246d044e`, this PR `fe0ed1fbea`, with the method below:

| Case | Node | main | This PR | main / Node | PR / Node | PR / main |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

1.01x |

main was slower than Node in six of these eight cases. This PR is faster
than Node in all eight.

`Bun.serve`, measured on `a771572a8d`, before the larger cork buffer
(req/s, the mean of 2 rounds):

| Case | main | PR | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Direct stream, 4 x 16 KB | 6,826 | 12,479 | +83% |
| 64 KB string | 16,944 | 20,145 | +19% |
| TLS, 64 KB string | 15,045 | 16,892 | +12% |
| hello (control) | 83,957 | 83,137 | -1.0% |

These runs are on loopback, where the kernel send buffer is 2.6 MB and
the work of the receiver runs inside `send()`. That is the best case for
fewer writes. A new connection over a real network takes about 46 KB in
its first write on Linux. The rest waits in the socket buffer, as it
would after separate writes.

#### Small responses are unchanged

A small response is already one `recvfrom` and one `sendto` on both
builds. `perf` puts 66% of the time of a hello-world server in the
kernel, on both builds.

CI release builds on Linux x64: main `97246d044e` (the merge base)
against this PR `8834cd0787`. Both use the same WebKit. The server runs
on one pinned core. `oha` sends 64 connections for 5 s after a 2 s
warm-up. There are 2 rounds, and the order of the builds alternates.
"Change" compares the means of the two rounds.

| `Bun.serve` | main | 14 | 30 | 22 | 22 |
| `Bun.serve` | PR | 14 | 30 | 22 | 22 |

Every change is within 2%. fastify and `Bun.serve` hello are lower in
both rounds, by about 1%. `Bun.serve` hello shows the same -1.0% in the
control row above, so a small real cost there is possible. The RSS pass
ran at the same time as the throughput runs, on other cores. The commits
after `8834cd0787` change tests and add one version check to the
node:http dispatcher. They were not measured.

by @steipete. The diagnosis and the tests for the stalled `ws` writes
come from his #42610.

Not included:

| Pull request | Reason |
| --- | --- |
| #33061 | main already enforces `headersTimeout` and `requestTimeout` |
| #41672 | It makes `http.createServer({ key, cert })` stop serving TLS.
That needs a product decision. |
| #37543 | A type refactor with no tests and no user-visible change |
| #35465 | It makes `http.Server` extend `net.Server`. Only the
prototype chains were joined. The `net.Server` constructor never ran, so
`_handle` and `_connections` were `undefined`, and
`_emitCloseIfDrained()` emitted `'close'` on a listening server. The
server is backed by uWS, not `node:net`. |
| The `AutoFlusher` removal in #42622 | It makes `flushHeaders()` flush
at once. That is a performance change with no relation to the rest. |

### Tests

| Check | Result on a debug build (macOS arm64) | Head |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Every test file that this PR touches (28 files) | 1,866 pass, 2 fail.
The 2 failures are `serve.test.ts` "bounds memory when proxying ... to a
stalled client". They fail the same way on a debug build of main. |
`83af4da4a3`, run before the last commit of main came in |
| `test/js/third_party/express` (9 files) and the `body-parser` test |
299 pass, 0 fail | `83af4da4a3`, run before the last commit of main came
in |
| Node 25.6 against Bun, 32 scenarios from two scripts (event order,
framing, lifecycle) | No regression against Bun 1.4.3 | `0ff1a23f61` |
| Every vendored Node `test-http-*` and `test-https-*` file, plus the
`test-net-*` and `test-tls-*` files for pause, write, end and close |
535 of 537 exit 0. `test-http-agent-keepalive.js` and
`test-https-timeout.js` fail on that debug build. Both pass on every CI
lane. | `daee05fcfd` (before the rebase) |
| The tests that depend on what the kernel takes in one send, on Windows
Server 2019 x64 and Windows 11 arm64 | pass | `3eef223328` (x64),
`a29289bcc1` (arm64) |
| CI build 120191 (Linux, macOS and Windows, release and ASAN) | every
lane passed | `daee05fcfd` (before the rebase) |

Each new test fails on Bun 1.4.3, or on the commit before its fix for a
fault that this branch introduced.

The two tests over the limit are `node-http-connect.test.ts` ("tests
should run on bun") and `node-http-syscall-fault.test.ts` ("racing a
queued drain"). Each starts a debug subprocess that needs more than 5 s
on this machine. Both pass on CI.

### Changes in the last push

The branch is rebased on main (`daee05fcfd` was the head before). It is
now linear.

Four regressions against main, each with a test that fails without its
fix:

| Case | main | Before this push | Now (same as Node) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `emit('connection')` or http2 `allowHTTP1`: `res.end()` on a request
that nobody reads | `'end'`, `'close'` | No events | `'end'`, `'close'`
|
| The same server, an unread 32 MB body | 0 bytes held | 32 MB held | 0
bytes held |
| A NUL in a header value with `httpValidation: "relaxed"` (client,
`HTTPParser`, `emit('connection')` server) | Accepted | The process
spins forever | `HPE_INVALID_HEADER_TOKEN` |
| `Connection: close`, body in the same read as the head, a 20 KB
response before the body is read | `'end'` with an empty body | No
events on `req` | `'end'` with the body, `'close'` |
| An empty line on an idle keep-alive connection, then `server.close()`
| 0 s | About 6 s | 0 s |

| Fix | Where |
| --- | --- |
| The finish listener of a fallback connection dumps an unread request,
like Node's `resOnFinish` | `http1_server_fallback.ts` |
| llhttp patch: `llhttp__internal__c_test_lenient_flags_20` is false for
a NUL. The relaxed state does not consume a NUL, and the next state sent
it back there. 9.4.3 has the same loop. | `llhttp.c`, noted in its
`README.md` |
| A node:http socket that `onData` is parsing gets the close gate of
`onData`, also when a large write released the cork | `HttpResponse.h`
`uncorkCompletedResponse()` |
| A read that starts no message leaves an idle connection idle |
`HttpContext.h` `onData` |

The open review threads are fixed in `8834cd0787`:
`closeAllConnections()`, `Proxy-Connection: close`, five comments cut to
one line, and the test of two overlapping listeners, which now waits on
events. With the generation gate in `emitCloseServer` removed, that test
fails in both cases. `AsyncSocketData` keeps its bools together, which
takes it from 56 to 48 bytes per socket.

`http.Server` no longer extends `net.Server` (see "Not included"). The
special case for it in `Ipc.ts` is gone too. `child.send(msg,
httpServer)` still throws `ERR_INVALID_HANDLE_TYPE`, and its test stays.

<details><summary>Changes since the first revision (2988a61)</summary>

Merged with main at `c8e1f6fa5b`. The one conflict was #43708
(`req.socket` emits `'end'` and `'error'`). Its state bit
`HTTP_NODE_PEER_ENDED` moved to bit 22, because bit 19 is
`HTTP_NODE_NOTIFY_READ_PARSED` here. Its 15 tests run in
`node-http-server-abort-events.test.ts` next to the tests of this branch
(103 pass).

CI on `2988a610c` had ten red tests from four causes. They are fixed:
- `ed882e5e99`: `write()` to a response without a body (HEAD, 204) does
not wait for unsent bytes.
- `811f817704`: an idle tunnel does not hold the event loop after
`server.close()`. Four vendored Node tests timed out on every platform.
- `0697deec11`, `d428824c08`, `7aec062d14`: the write callback tests use
a body that backs up a loopback socket, and accept what Winsock does.
- `c7af1c1615`: two tests from main asserted the old `close()` contract.

Review findings, each reproduced against Node v26.3.0 and fixed with a
test that fails without the fix:
- `d4d2b783ea`, `2cc79939bb`, `45141abca9`, `9a63dbc470`, `80a23a1822`:
the idle rule. A keep-alive connection is idle again when its body ends
after its response. A connection that owes a queued pipelined response,
that still receives a request head or body, or whose response still
drains is not idle.
- `87d8904aa3`, `7eca4f7806`: `close(cb)` followed by `listen()` in the
same tick reports `'close'`, also for an https server whose only
connection was idle.
- `3fd7b25382`: a paused pipelined request behind a response that still
drains stops the connection. The first revision read 512 MiB of 512 MiB
into memory.
- `2d1a5e2d8d`, `33e4683a8a`, `539cb41eb9`, `197c7dfc29`, `0490e3540b`:
raw socket writes stay behind every unsent response byte. The cases were
a CONNECT pipelined behind a response that still drains (its `200`
landed at offset 2.6 MB of a 64 MiB body), a zero-length tunnel write
(it hung the tunnel), the 400 replies above, the zero-copy tail of a
large `res.write()`, the cork buffer, and Windows 11, where the kernel
takes the whole response and refuses the next send.
- `0abd39c133`: an upgrade from the request's `'end'` listener keeps the
body bytes out of the WebSocket. The connection closed with 1006 right
after the 101.
- `5aafc61aa6`: the callback of a small `res.write()` that the kernel
refuses at the uncork runs on the drain. Reproduced on Windows 11 only.
- `a29289bcc1`: a tunnel write that waits for a drain settles its
callbacks when the connection closes.

Known differences from Node that this PR leaves:
- A handler that calls `res.end()` and then `server.close()` closes its
keep-alive connection at once. Node waits for the `keepAliveTimeout`.
- A pipelined Upgrade behind a response that still drains is served as a
plain request.
- An `end()` on a tunnel with no write pending, while the response
before the CONNECT still drains, closes both directions after the flush.
Node half-closes.
- A raw `req.socket.write(big)` and `req.socket.end()` with no
`res.end()` sends every byte but no FIN. main loses bytes here.
- A CONNECT socket that is given back with `server.emit('connection',
socket)` answers only the first of several pipelined requests. main
answers none.
- A large write from an `'upgrade'` listener stalls while the body of
that Upgrade request is still pending. A second `listen()` on a
listening server does not throw. Both are the same on main.
- A tunnel write that fails because the client went away fails its
callbacks but emits no `'error'`. Node emits `ECONNRESET`. A new
`'error'` could end a process that has no listener for it.
