Problem

Fix

  • onNodeHTTPRequest (src/js/node/_http_server.ts) sets complete = true after the dispatch returns when hasBody is false. This covers 'request', 'checkContinue', 'checkExpectation' and 'dropRequest'. Node's parserOnMessageComplete sets it at the same point. Inside the listener it stays false.
  • onNodeHTTPServerSocketTimeout drops its noBodySymbol special case, which existed because complete was not set.
  • Two tests in test/js/bun/test/parallel/ (from fix(node:http) implement request.setTimeout and server.setTimeout #13772, for node:http request events not firing #13373) asserted false after await once(server, "request"). Node prints true there. Both now assert Node's values.
  • Verified: new file test/js/node/http/node-http-req-complete.test.ts (9 of 11 tests fail on 1.4.3-canary). It also runs itself under Node.js. Self-reviewed: 8 concerns raised, 5 addressed, 3 left out (see Notes).

Background

Notes

Repro (node and bun):

const http = require("node:http");
const net = require("node:net");
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  console.log("request sync      complete =", req.complete);
  process.nextTick(() => console.log("request nextTick  complete =", req.complete));
  res.on("finish", () => console.log("res finish        complete =", req.complete));
  res.on("close", () => console.log("res close         complete =", req.complete));
  req.on("close", () => console.log("req close         complete =", req.complete, "aborted =", req.aborted));
  setImmediate(() => { console.log("request immediate complete =", req.complete); res.end("ok"); });
});
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
  const c = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1", () => c.write("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: a\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n"));
  c.on("data", () => {});
  c.on("close", () => server.close());
});
Node v26.3.0 Bun 1.4.3-canary (367d939) this branch
request sync false false false
request nextTick true false true
request immediate true false true
res finish true false true
res close true true true
req close true true true

Node v26.3.0 prints true from the next tick on in each of these scenarios too, and Bun before this change prints false:

  • HEAD, and POST with Content-Length: 0.
  • Two pipelined GETs.
  • 'checkContinue' and 'checkExpectation' for a request without a body.
  • 'dropRequest' (maxRequestsPerSocket = 1, second request on the connection).
  • optimizeEmptyRequests: true: Bun never set the flag, not even at res 'close'.
  • req.destroy() inside the listener: Bun never set the flag.
  • A client that destroys its socket after the first response bytes of a GET: req 'aborted', req 'close' and res 'close' all saw complete === false. Node reports true in all three.

The new test file uses node:test and node:assert. Its last test runs the same file under Node.js, so the asserted values are Node's. Node v26.3.0: 10 pass. This branch: 11 pass. Bun 1.4.3-canary: the 9 cases for a request without a body fail, each on the complete samples. The case for a request with a body (complete stays false while a declared body still arrives) passes before and after. It guards the !hasBody condition.

The two tests in test/js/bun/test/parallel/.

  • test-http-13373-should-emit-close-and-complete-should-be-true-only-after-close.ts asserted req.complete === false after await once(server, "request"). The same flow under Node v26.3.0 prints true at that line. The comment on node:http request events not firing #13373 that the test came from sampled Node inside the listener (false) and at 'close' (true) only. The file now samples inside the listener (false), after the listener (true) and after 'close' (true). Its new name is test-http-13373-should-emit-close-and-complete-should-be-true-after-the-request-listener.ts. The key in test/expected-durations.json follows the rename.
  • test-http-should-emit-timeout-event-when-using-server-setTimeout.ts asserted the same false. It now asserts true.
  • test-http-should-emit-timeout-event.ts also asserts false, for a POST whose body is cut short. That is correct and stays.
  • Both changed files asserted their sample while the connection was still open, so a wrong value made the script hang until the runner's timeout. They now assert after the connection is torn down, so a wrong value fails at once.

The timeout special case. serverRequestNotTimeoutAfterEnd in test/js/node/test/parallel/test-http-set-timeout-server.js arms req.setTimeout(50, common.mustNotCall()) on a GET. The !req[noBodySymbol] check made it pass while complete was wrong. With the check removed and the new store disabled, that test fails at line 100. With the store it passes. 'connect' and 'upgrade' hand-offs remove this listener (detachSocketListenersForHandoff), so those paths do not reach it.

A listener that throws leaves complete at false. Node does the same: the exception stops llhttp before on_message_complete.

Self-review, the 3 concerns left out.

Suites run with the debug build.

  • test/js/node/http/node-http-req-complete.test.ts: 11 pass.
  • test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts: 169 pass, 1 skip.
  • node-http-server-abort-events, node-http-server-timeouts, node-http-req-socket-pause, node-http-with-ws, node-http-transfer-encoding, node-http-server-socket-end-drain, node-http-ondata-reregister-leak, node-http-backpressure, node-http-nested-cork, node-http-pinned-write, node-http-uaf, node-http-res-settimeout-unref: all pass.
  • express (res.send, res.sendFile, express.json) and body-parser: pass.
  • 67 test-http* files in test/js/bun/test/parallel/: 63 pass. test-http-get-can-use-Agent.ts, test-https-get-can-use-Agent.ts and test-http-should-emit-events-in-the-right-order.ts need public DNS. test-http-should-allow-numbers-headers-to-be-set-in-server-and-client.ts gets ECONNREFUSED on localhost. All 4 fail the same way without this diff.
  • 454 vendored test-http-* / test-https-* files (parallel and sequential): 451 pass. test-http-agent-keepalive.js, test-http-client-timeout-option.js and test-https-timeout.js fail the same way on a debug build without this diff (1 ms to 10 ms timers on an unoptimized ASAN build). They pass on the release build.
  • node-http-connect.test.ts ("tests should run on bun", 5 s budget) and express.test.ts (500 ms AbortSignal.timeout) time out on this debug build with and without the diff.

Node completes a message without a body right after the listener that
received it returns (parserOnMessageComplete), whether or not anything
reads req. The native server set complete only from the lazy EOF in
IncomingMessage.prototype._read, so it stayed false until req was read
or dumped, and forever with optimizeEmptyRequests or after req.destroy().

The dispatcher now stores complete = true after the 'request',
'checkContinue', 'checkExpectation' and 'dropRequest' paths return for a
request without a body. onNodeHTTPServerSocketTimeout no longer needs
its noBodySymbol special case and matches Node's socketOnTimeout.

Two tests in test/js/bun/test/parallel asserted complete === false after
`await once(server, "request")`, where Node reports true. They now
assert Node's values.

HTTP request completion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server completion and timeout handling
src/js/node/_http_server.ts
Bodyless requests become complete after request dispatch. Incomplete bodyless requests now receive timeout events.
Regression test updates
test/js/bun/test/parallel/*, test/expected-durations.json
Tests verify completion after the request listener returns and retain timeout assertions. The superseded close-based test is removed.
Request completion coverage
test/js/node/http/node-http-req-complete.test.ts
Tests cover bodyless, pipelined, dropped, disconnected, and body-bearing requests, including execution under Node.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things: the dropped noBodySymbol import in _http_server.ts leaves src/js/internal/http.ts and _http_incoming.ts as the remaining consumers (the trailer skip and _read EOF paths still key on it, so no dead code and no behavior change there), and the lazy EOF path (emitEOFIncomingMessageOuter) already sets complete = true before push(null), so the earlier store does not alter readable/'end' ordering.

Extended reasoning...

Inline findings already cover the HEAD/TRACE-with-declared-body, pipelined kRequest timeout, and upgrade/connect gaps. Separately I confirmed that noBodySymbol still has live consumers in src/js/internal/http.ts:131 and src/js/node/_http_incoming.ts:385 (only the _http_server.ts use was removed), and that emitEOFIncomingMessageOuter at src/js/internal/http.ts:122 sets complete before push(null) regardless, so the new store in kRealListen only moves the flag earlier and does not change the stream's end semantics or the trailers guard.

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

  • 🟣 src/js/node/_http_server.ts — WebSocket and CONNECT servers still see req.complete === false in 'upgrade' and 'connect' listeners and forever after, while Node reports true from the same point; this PR claims Node parity for body-less requests but leaves these two dispatch paths out. Both hand-offs return at src/js/node/_http_server.ts:763 and :994 before the store at :1034. Fix: set http_req.complete = true for body-less requests on the upgrade and connect paths too (before the emit at :975 and :758, as llhttp completes the message before pausing), so every body-less entry point agrees.

    Extended reasoning...

    Client sends 'GET /ws HTTP/1.1\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\n\r\n'. hasBody=false. is_upgrade is true at :880; the branch at :954 runs, emits 'upgrade' at :975 and returns the promise at :994. :1034 never executes. req.complete stays false for the life of the request; nothing else sets it, because the parser shim is released at :967 and _read for noBodySymbol is the only other setter. In Node, llhttp runs on_message_complete for a body-less upgrade before returning HPE_PAUSED_UPGRADE, so parserOnMessageComplete sets complete=true before 'upgrade' is emitted. Libraries that inspect req.complete on upgrade requests (proxies deciding whether the head is fully received, on-finished style helpers) get the opposite answer under Bun. Two finders dismissed it as author-intended and tracked in #43455; the PR text describes it as excluded, but the whole-behaviour rule for compat ports says sibling entry points ship together. Remedy: add the same store before the two hand-off emits.

    Verification: pre-existing; acknowledged in diff: the PR description states "'connect' and 'upgrade' listeners still see false" and "#43455 tracks the native fix ... this PR does not touch them" — that bound is accurate, the two paths are simply not reached by the new store. Trigger: any body-less CONNECT or Upgrade request (e.g. a WebSocket handshake) dispatched to a 'connect'/'upgrade' listener.…

On the finding outside the diff ('connect' and 'upgrade' listeners): confirmed. #43455 item 1 has the script. Node prints true inside both listeners, Bun prints false. A separate change that sets the flag before the two hand-off emits is in progress. This PR does not touch those two paths, so that the two changes do not edit the same lines.

The two inline findings have replies in their threads:

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 20, 2026
…g received (#43561)

### Problem
- A request whose body stalls behind a pending pipelined response never
gets 'timeout'. Its `req.setTimeout(ms, cb)` callback never runs and the
server destroys the socket. Node v26.3.0 emits 'timeout' on it (#43455,
item 6).
- `onNodeHTTPServerSocketTimeout` (`src/js/node/_http_server.ts:221`)
reads `socket[kRequest]`. That slot held the request whose response owns
the socket. With pipelining that request is already complete.

### Fix
- The dispatcher sets `kRequest` for every request, and
`advanceResponsePipeline` no longer overwrites it. `detachSocket` still
clears it when that request's response detaches.
- The handler does not read Node's `parser.incoming`. That slot must
outlive the response, and a request that `stream.pipeline()` destroyed
never ends. In the first version of this PR it kept getting 'timeout'
and held the idle socket open.
- Self-reviewed: 5 concerns, 2 closed by probes, 3 left to separate work
(Notes). Two edges are new. A pipelined request now gets 'timeout' while
paused with its whole body received (#43557), or after `pipeline()`
destroyed it. A request that is not pipelined already does.
- Verified: three new tests in
`test/js/node/http/node-http-server-timeouts.test.ts`. Two fail on
1.4.3-canary, the third on the first version. Also the timeout and
pipelining fixtures, and `node-http.test.ts`.

### Background
- `req.setTimeout` and `server.timeout` arm one inactivity timer per
socket. The server forwards its 'timeout' to the request, the response
and the server. With no listener, it destroys the socket.
- With pipelining, the next request arrives before the previous response
ends. Later responses wait for the socket.
- `stream.pipeline()` destroys a failed server request with `req.socket
= null`, so the connection survives for the error response.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

#### Repro

From #43455, item 6: `GET /a` is never answered, `POST /b` with
`Content-Length: 100` sends 10 bytes, and only the POST calls
`req.setTimeout(200, cb)`.

```
node v26.3.0:  ["POST /b 'timeout' (complete=false)"]
1.4.3-canary:  ["client socket closed by the server"]
this branch:   ["POST /b 'timeout' (complete=false)"]
```

#### The first version, and why `kRequest` stays

The first version (cfc4149) made the handler read
`this.parser?.incoming`, like Node's `socketOnTimeout`, and removed
`kRequest`. The review found a regression against the base. An upload
handler calls `req.setTimeout(ms, cb)` and `stream.pipeline(req, dest,
cb)`. The destination fails, so `pipeline()` destroys `req` with
`req.socket = null`. `_destroy` releases the native handle, so
`req.complete` never becomes `true`, and 'end' never fires. The handler
answers 500, the client sends the rest of the body and idles. The
destroyed request stayed in `parser.incoming`, got 'timeout' at the
keep-alive timeout, and its listener kept the idle socket open. Node and
the base close that socket.

`parser.incoming` cannot be cleared when the response detaches.
`test-http-server-keepalive-end` reads it inside an 'end' listener after
a synchronous `res.end()`, and expects the request there. So the timeout
target needs its own slot with its own end of life, and that is what
`kRequest` is. 0e3a237 restores it and fixes its lifecycle for
pipelining. The result for a connection without pipelining is the same
as on main by construction: set at dispatch, cleared at the detach of
that response.

#### Probe, 15 scenarios

Who sees 'timeout', and does the server close the socket. Each build is
compared with Node v26.3.0. The first version and the current version
give the same results here.

| Scenario | 1.4.3-canary | This branch |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Stalled POST pipelined behind a pending GET, only the POST listens |
differs | same as Node |
| Same wire, listeners on both requests, both responses and the server |
differs (no `req POST /b`) | same as Node |
| Two pending GETs, then a stalled POST | differs | same as Node |
| Early `res.end()` for a POST whose body never arrives, then the
keep-alive timeout | differs | differs |
| Single complete POST that the listener paused | differs | differs |
| Pipelined complete POST that the listener paused | same as Node |
differs |
| Nine more (see below) | same as Node | same as Node |

The nine: single stalled POST, single complete GET, single complete POST
(read, and unread), pipelined complete GET, pipelined complete POST
(read, and unread), first response answered then stalled POST,
`optimizeEmptyRequests`.

More scenarios that match Node on this branch and differ on the canary:
an HTTPS server, `server.setTimeout(ms)` with a request listener that
keeps the socket, a chunked POST that stalls inside a chunk, a pipelined
request that `maxRequestsPerSocket` drops ('dropRequest'), a pipelined
`Expect: 100-continue` request in 'checkContinue', a pipelined POST
larger than the high water mark that nobody reads, and a pipelined POST
that gets 'timeout', keeps the socket, then completes (the client
receives both responses, the canary never answers).

#### A request that `stream.pipeline()` destroyed

| Flow | Node v26.3.0 | 1.4.3-canary | This branch |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Response finished, the rest of the body arrives | closes the idle
socket | closes | closes |
| Response finished, the body stalls | 'timeout' on the request | closes
| closes |
| Response pending, pipelined, the rest arrives | socket destroyed |
socket destroyed | 'timeout' on the request |
| Response pending, pipelined, the body stalls | 'timeout' on the
request | socket destroyed | 'timeout' on the request |
| Response pending, not pipelined, the rest arrives | socket destroyed |
'timeout' on the request | 'timeout' on the request |
| Response pending, not pipelined, the body stalls | 'timeout' on the
request | 'timeout' on the request | 'timeout' on the request |

With a pending response, a pipelined request now behaves like a request
that is not pipelined. A `!req.destroyed` check in the handler fixes the
"rest arrives" rows and breaks the "stalls" rows, so it is not in this
PR. The cause is that `req.complete` never becomes `true` after
`_destroy` releases the handle.

#### The differences that remain all come from `req.complete`

- Early `res.end()`: Bun ends a request when its response ends, whether
the listener reads `req` or not. `req.complete` is `true` and 'end'
fires while the declared body is still missing. Node keeps `complete ===
false` until the parser finishes the message. This is tracked
separately.
- Paused POST: the native handle keeps the body and its end to itself
until `req` resumes, so `req.complete` stays `false` (item 3 of #43455,
fixed in #43557). A check of the native body state in the handler would
hide this for 'timeout' only. The other readers of `req.complete` would
keep the difference.
- Destroyed request: see the table above.

#### Self-review, the 5 concerns

1. Does the slot keep the last request alive on an idle keep-alive
connection? No. A probe with `FinalizationRegistry` and forced GC gives
the same result on the canary and on this branch for six request shapes,
and no symbol slot of the socket holds the request. Only the
`optimizeEmptyRequests` request stays reachable through
`parser.incoming`, on both (item 5 of #43455, fixed in #43461).
2. Do the new tests depend on how the wire data is split across reads?
No. One write, three writes, one byte per write, and a split inside the
POST head all give the same events, under Node and on this branch. The
new tests also passed every stress run on the debug build at a host load
above 100.
3. A pipelined request that is paused after its whole body arrived now
gets 'timeout'. Left to item 3 of #43455.
4. An early `res.end()` ends the request in Bun, so that request still
gets no 'timeout'. Left to separate work.
5. The 'connect' and 'upgrade' hand-off removes the 'timeout' listener
even while the body of an Upgrade request still arrives. Node keeps its
listener until that body ends. This is the same before and after this
change. Left to separate work.

#### Review findings

- Regression with a request that `pipeline()` destroyed: fixed, see
above.
- Two code comments were longer than one line: one is now one line, the
other is back to the text on main.
- The third test passed on the base and could pass on an early close: it
now uses the pipelined shape and asserts `Connection: keep-alive` on
both responses. It still passes on the base. It fails on the first
version, and it guards the reason `kRequest` stays.
- Two optional findings (paused request, destroyed request with a
pending response) are the `req.complete` edges above. No change here.

Seen on the way, not related to this change: when the socket is
destroyed, a queued pipelined response emits 'close' before the socket's
'close'. Node emits it after. The canary and this branch agree with each
other.

Merge check: `git merge-tree` of this branch with #43456, #43461 and
#43557 reports no conflicts.

Jarred-Sumner added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 26, 2026
…inish, lifecycle) (#43557)

One pull request for the open `node:http` server pull requests. Each
root cause is fixed once, and each pull request's tests are carried
over. Node is the reference: every scenario was run under Node and under
Bun from one script, and the outputs were compared.

Fixes #4733
Fixes #18613
Fixes #40350
Fixes #43155
Fixes #43297
Fixes #43513
Fixes #43527
Fixes #25632
Fixes #31301
Fixes #43027
Fixes #43163
Fixes #43342
Fixes #43344
Fixes #43370
Fixes #43490
Fixes #43512
Fixes #43519

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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| http, 4 x `res.write(16 KB)` | 17,735 | 6,983 | 19,160 | 0.39x | 1.08x

| http, `res.end(64 KB)` | 18,535 | 16,528 | 19,889 | 0.89x | 1.07x |
1.20x |
| http, 256 KB file `.pipe(res)` | 2,684 | 2,375 | 2,719 | 0.88x | 1.01x
| 1.15x |
| https, `res.end(64 KB)` | 11,894 | 14,586 | 16,426 | 1.23x | 1.38x |
1.13x |
| http, GET hello (control) | 55,994 | 70,989 | 71,958 | 1.27x | 1.29x |
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.

The close drain, `resetAndDestroy()`, the pending write callback
handling and the response `'close'` ordering come from #42622 and #42727
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. |

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.

Superseded by #43557, which is merged (5d5f03f). It fixes this once for the whole node:http server and carries the tests over.

Confirmed. 5d5f03f is the head of main. It carries the change of this PR, test/js/node/http/node-http-req-complete.test.ts and the two corrected files in test/js/bun/test/parallel/.

I built main at that commit and ran the script from the description. The output is identical to the output of Node v26.3.0. The test file passes there (27 tests).

On main, flows 4 and 8 of #43455 still differ from Node. The issue has the outputs.
