Behaviour change: none

Problem

Fix

Background

  • The fallback is src/js/internal/http1_server_fallback.ts. It parses requests in JS. A listening http.Server uses a native server instead.
  • Node marks the last response of a connection with res._last. Its resOnFinish ends the socket after that response.
  • server.httpAllowHalfOpen keeps a connection open after the peer sends FIN, so that a response in flight can still go out.
Notes

Results for the 12 cases of the table

Runtime Pass Fail
Node v26.3.0 (same scenario as a plain script) 12 0
Debug build of main, 1313ca6 12 0
Release build of 367d939 (2026-09-18, before #43557) 8 4

The 4 cases that fail on 367d939:

Case 367d939 Main
Connection: close request with 40 other header fields Ends the connection, but sends Connection: keep-alive Sends Connection: close
HTTP/1.0 keep-alive request, the handler sets Connection: keep-alive and no Content-Length Stays open and serves a second request Ends the connection
Peer FIN before the handler answers (httpAllowHalfOpen) Stays open after the response Ends the connection
Request and peer FIN arrive together, synchronous answer (httpAllowHalfOpen) Stays open after the response Ends the connection

The allowHTTP1 test passes on both builds.

Changes against the tests of #37767

  • One case has a more exact name: "ends an HTTP/1.0 connection after a response without Content-Length, even when the handler advertised keep-alive". Its comment now says why the connection ends: the body has no framing, so it ends where the connection ends.
  • The comments that described the old defect are removed.
  • The table splits what the client received at each status line, so every received byte is in a response. It compares the body and every Connection header of each response. Before, it counted status lines and read the first Connection header.
  • The allowHTTP1 test creates its client socket inside the try block. It compares the status line, every Connection header and the body in one toEqual.
  • Both tests reject on 'close'. A connection that closes with no 'end' fails the test at once.
  • The table records whether the server side of the pair is destroyed when the client sees 'end'. Every case expects that it is not. On a duplexPair, the client of a server that calls destroy() in place of end() still sees 'end', and in most cases the same bytes. A pair side whose end() calls destroy() fails 11 of the 12 cases, on main and on Node v26.3.0.
  • The helper looks at the connection one turn after each complete response, also after the second one.

A case that the table does not cover

For an HTTP/1.0 keep-alive request, a handler can set Connection: keep-alive and a Content-Length. Node v26.3.0 keeps that connection open. On main, a fallback connection stays open too, and a connection of a listening server ends. The source comment at src/js/node/_http_server.ts:785 says that HTTP/1.0 responses never advertise keep-alive on this server, so this PR adds no test for it.

Runs on the debug build of main

  • The table, 25 times: 300 pass, 0 fail.
  • The allowHTTP1 fallback tests of node-http2.test.js, 5 times: 60 pass, 0 fail.
  • node-http.test.ts complete: 268 pass, 7 fail.
  • node-http2.test.js complete: 388 pass, 6 fail.
  • Every failure is a timeout of a test that this PR does not touch. Each of these tests starts a subprocess, and a debug subprocess is slow on this machine. The number of timeouts changes with the load of the machine. A run of main (36cd151) without this change had 15 and 16.

no test proof · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts

…tions

A socket given to http.Server with server.emit("connection"), and the
HTTP/1.1 side of http2.createSecureServer({ allowHTTP1: true }), end the
connection after a response that must close it. Main has this behaviour
and had no test for most of its cases on this path.

The table has 12 cases over a duplexPair: HTTP/1.0 requests, a request
with Connection: close, a handler that sets Connection: close or clears
shouldKeepAlive, a 204 with Transfer-Encoding, a peer FIN under
httpAllowHalfOpen, and a kept-alive connection as the control. Node
v26.3.0 gives the same outcome for each case.

The tests come from #37767. No source file changes.

Walkthrough

Adds tests for HTTP connection shutdown after response completion and for the HTTP/1.0 request fallback on an allowHTTP1 server. The tests also check that an HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connection can serve a second request.

Changes

HTTP connection shutdown

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connection listener response completion
test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts
Adds helpers and tests for connection closure across HTTP/1.0 requests, request or response close conditions, cleared shouldKeepAlive, 204 responses with transfer encoding, and peer half-close scenarios. It also checks that HTTP/1.1 keep-alive serves a second request.
HTTP/1.0 allowHTTP1 fallback
test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js
Adds a test that checks an HTTP/1.0 keep-alive request receives an HTTP/1.1 response with Connection: close, the expected body, and connection closure.

Suggested reviewers: cirospaciari

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 60943

This test-only change leaves one connection-shutdown case sensitive to how response bytes are delivered. It is mergeable with that limitation understood, but fixing the test before merge would make its regression coverage more reliable.

That installs a local version of the PR into your bun-44076 executable, so you can run:

The table splits what the client received into responses by their
framing, and compares the body and every Connection header of each
response. Before, it counted status lines and read the first Connection
header.

Both tests reject on 'close'. A connection that closes with no 'end'
then fails the test at once.

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

The follow-up commit wires close to reject and asserts the exact Connection header list in both files, which covers what I raised on the previous push. Beyond the inline nit, I also checked the close-delimited branch of splitResponses (no Content-Length, no next response): it can report a head-only first chunk as complete before the body arrives, but that only schedules the setImmediate, which is a no-op once end has fired, and the returned outcome is re-parsed from the full wire after end, so the assertions still see the whole body.

Extended reasoning...

Test-only change: a 12-case it.each table in test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts driving node:http's connectionListener over an in-process duplexPair, plus one allowHTTP1 fallback test in test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js; no production code and no security-sensitive surface. Since the prior review, commit 160d3ab added 'close'->reject wiring and exact Connection-header assertions at both sites. One nit finding remains posted inline and a further verified finding is unposted, so this is not an approval; the note records the additional framing check that was examined and ruled out.

Comment thread test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts
The table records whether the server side of the pair is destroyed when
the client sees 'end'. A server that calls destroy() in place of end()
gives the client the same bytes and the same 'end' on a duplexPair, so
the table passed for it before.

The helper now looks at the connection one turn after each complete
response, also after the second one.

I re-reviewed after the latest push and found no bugs; the new destroyed probe addresses the destroy-vs-end gap I raised earlier. Since two inline threads from another reviewer are still open, a human look before merge would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The destroyed read at the client's end listener: checked against src/js/internal/streams/duplexpair.ts — _final registers its own end callback after the test's listener, so serverSide.destroyed is read before autoDestroy, and a destroy() regression sets it synchronously before the nextTick push(null).
  • The setImmediate probe: the fallback ends the socket from the response finish handler (http1_server_fallback.ts:509-521), a nextTick chain with no I/O or timers, so end settles before the immediate.
  • The http2 test now rejects on close and asserts the exact header list rather than toContain.
Extended reasoning...

Test-only change (+244 lines) adding a 12-case it.each table to test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts and one allowHTTP1 test to test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js; no production code and no security-sensitive surface. The latest commit (eb4479b) resolves the nit from my prior review by recording serverSide.destroyed in the Outcome, and I verified the ordering against duplexpair.ts and the fallback's finish handler. Not approving because two coderabbitai inline threads at node-http.test.ts:6370 and :6409 remain unresolved, and the 6370 one is in splitResponses, which the last commit did not change.

The table split the wire by Content-Length and dropped bytes that did
not form a head, so a stray byte behind a 204 response passed. It now
splits at each status line: a body is all that follows its head.
Content-Length only tells when the last response is complete.

LGTM — the latest commits address the earlier feedback and the tests are self-contained and test-only.

What was reviewed:

  • The serve() helper's settle paths: error/close reject, end resolves, and the fallback's close path (src/js/internal/http1_server_fallback.ts:485-521) ends the socket via nextTick-driven finish/end, so the setImmediate probe runs after a graceful close has already settled the promise.
  • destroyed is now read from serverSide.destroyed at end time and the http2 test asserts the exact Connection header list plus rejects on close, which covers the destroy-vs-end and header-duplication cases raised previously.
  • splitResponses framing: 204/chunked and close-delimited HTTP/1.0 bodies count as complete once the head ends, and the final outcome re-parses the full wire so late body bytes are included.
Extended reasoning...

The diff adds only tests: a 12-case it.each table in test/js/node/http/node-http.test.ts driving an http.Server over an in-process duplexPair, and one allowHTTP1 TLS test in test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js using port 0; no source files change and no CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The three concerns I raised on earlier pushes (no close rejection in the http2 test, toContain on the Connection header, and end-vs-destroy being indistinguishable) are each addressed in the current code, and the coderabbit thread at :6410 was followed by a commit that reworked exactly that region. The remaining timing assumption (setImmediate after nextTick-driven close) matches how the fallback actually ends the socket, and the bug hunt ran dry, so a human look is not required.

@Jarred-Sumner I am here. This PR is ready for review.

  • CI: build 121108 passed on 6094387. One job failed on darwin 27 aarch64: test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-workers.test.ts crashed in a subprocess (Trap instruction). This PR changes two test files only and does not touch that test.
  • Review: all 7 threads are resolved.
  • Main: the branch is 2 commits behind main and merges with no conflict.

The PR needs an approving review. Tell me if you want the branch updated to main first.
