What does this PR do?

It makes a node:http CONNECT or Upgrade socket (a tunnel) hold the event loop by libuv's two rules:

• Reads. A tunnel that reads holds the loop, through its server. A tunnel that does not read (its reads are stopped or at EOF) does not: uv_read_stop() stops the handle, and a stopped handle does not keep the loop alive.
• Writes. A tunnel with bytes left to send holds the loop by itself, whatever is unref'd: uv__loop_alive() counts write requests apart from handles, and unref() is about handles.

That fixes three bugs.

1. A process never exits after server.close() while a tunnel has its reads stopped

A regression from #43557 (in 1.4.3, not in 1.4.2).

Reproduction. test/js/node/http/node-http-connect-proxy-pipes-fixture.js is the CONNECT proxy of the Node.js docs (net.connect() and two pipe() calls). Its upstream is slow and then goes away, its client gives up, and it calls server.close() with no process.exit().

Runtime	Result
Node v22.22.0	prints {"clientSocketIsPaused":true}, exits 0
Bun 1.4.2	prints {"clientSocketIsPaused":true,"proxy":"close"}, exits 0
Bun 1.4.3, main (491aaad)	prints nothing, never exits
This PR	prints {"clientSocketIsPaused":true}, exits 0

Cause. Since #43557 the server holds the event loop for its open connections, except for tunnels that are idle. JSNodeHTTPServerSocket::updateTunnelIdle() reported a tunnel idle only after read EOF. A socket whose buffer is full stops its reads (readStop()), so it never reads the EOF and the tunnel held the loop for good.

Fix, in src/jsc/bindings/node/JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp: updateTunnelIdle() counts stopped reads like read EOF, and readStop() and readStart() call it.

2. Behind server.unref() a process exits with the bytes of a tunnel unsent

Never correct in Bun, so not a regression.

Reproduction. server.unref(), server.close(), a tunnel whose reads stopped, then 8 MiB to send. The peer reads everything.

const http = require("node:http"), net = require("node:net");
const { getDefaultHighWaterMark } = require("node:stream");
const full = Buffer.alloc(getDefaultHighWaterMark(false), "a");
const result = { sent: false, peerReceived: 0 };
const server = http.createServer();
server.on("connect", (req, socket) => {
  socket.write("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n\r\n");
  server.unref();
  server.close();
  (function untilReadsStop() {
    if (socket.readableLength < full.length) return setImmediate(untilReadsStop);
    socket.write(Buffer.alloc(8 * 1024 * 1024, "x"), () => (result.sent = true));
  })();
});
server.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
  const client = net.connect(server.address().port, "127.0.0.1");
  client.unref();
  client.write("CONNECT a:1 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: a\r\n\r\n");
  client.once("data", () => {
    client.write(full);
    client.on("data", chunk => (result.peerReceived += chunk.length));
  });
});
process.on("exit", () => console.log(JSON.stringify(result)));

Runtime (Linux x64, 3 runs each)	Output
Node v22.22.0	{"sent":true,"peerReceived":8060928}
Bun 1.4.2, 1.4.3, canary of main (9634520)	{"sent":false,"peerReceived":65536}
This PR	{"sent":true,"peerReceived":8388608}

The same happens, and is fixed, with no server.close(), with the write before server.close(), at read EOF, and for a tunnel that reads all the time.

Cause. The server has one loop ref (poll_ref), and server.unref() drops it. On main only one event takes it back: a tunnel at read EOF that gets bytes to send after the listener is gone.

Fix. Bytes left to send get a loop ref of their own.

• uWS tells the server's filter +5 when a tunnel has bytes left to send and -5 when it has none any more (HttpResponse::setNodeHttpTunnelSending). The flag is on the socket, so uWS balances a +5 in the same step as a close or a WebSocket adoption.
• NewServer counts those tunnels (sending_tunnel_count) and holds sending_tunnel_ref while there is one. server.unref(), server.ref() and the listener have no say in it.
• -3, +3 and -4 (idle, not idle any more, closed idle) stay as on main.

Taking poll_ref for pending bytes instead is not enough. It is given back only when the tunnel becomes idle. A tunnel that reads again before its bytes have drained stays busy with no further event, and its reads then hold the loop of a server the user unref'd.

server.unref() keeps what it does on main for reads. A tunnel that is not idle any more takes poll_ref back once the listener is gone, but not behind server.unref() (new ServerFlags::UNREFED_BY_USER, cleared by server.ref()). With bug 1 fixed, a tunnel that reads again is such a tunnel, and without the flag a process that exits on main would not exit.

server.unref(), then server.close()	Node	1.4.3, main	This PR
a tunnel whose reads stopped gets a reader, the peer stays connected	stays alive	exits	exits
a tunnel at read EOF gets bytes to send	waits until sent	waits until sent	waits until sent
the same, but it gets them before server.close()	waits until sent	exits, bytes unsent	waits until sent
a tunnel whose reads stopped has bytes to send	waits until sent	exits, bytes unsent	waits until sent
the same, and it reads again before they are sent	stays alive	exits, bytes unsent	waits until sent, then exits

3. Over TLS, socket.end() behind bytes that TLS still holds keeps the process alive until the peer closes

The rest of bug 1. 1.4.2 exits there, but with the data cut short: of an end() of 1 MiB the peer gets 80 KiB. On main bug 1 hides it. With the fix of bug 1 alone (5af7e9d) the process still does not exit.

Reproduction (a send buffer of 4 KiB, so that TLS holds a part of each record): an https tunnel whose reads stopped, server.close(), socket.end(data). The peer is another process. It reads up to the FIN and stays connected.

	end() of 64 KiB	end() of 1 MiB
canary of main (9634520) and 5af7e9d, server.close()	never exits	never exits
the same two, server.unref() and server.close()	all received, exits (most runs)	exits, 32 KiB received
This PR, both	all received, exits	all received, exits

Cause. TLS holds the FIN behind the ciphertext that the kernel did not take. Nothing tells the tunnel when both have left:

• ssl_on_writable() gives a uWS HTTP socket no writable event once its close_notify is out, also not the event that sent it.
• When the shutdown itself sends what TLS held, there is no event at all, and end() did not look again.

Fix.

• packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c: the one writable event that sent a shutdown held behind the spill goes through. Only a half-close by socket.end() of node:https gets there. Every shutdown() in uWS itself first checks hasFullyDrained(), and a close() behind the spill returns earlier.
• HttpContext::onWritable() gives that event to a tunnel and returns, before anything else in it runs. Its close gate would close a Connection: close connection there, and a request would lose the body that it reads behind the FIN of req.socket.end() (node:http: a request gets its body behind the FIN of socket.end() #44419).
• JSNodeHTTPServerSocket::halfClose() calls updateTunnelIdle().

socket.destroy() over TLS. TLS holds that close behind its bytes too, because it has reported them as written, for 10 s at most (US_SSL_CLOSE_AFTER_SPILL_TIMEOUT). The tunnel holds the loop until the close is done, like any bytes left to send. A server that is not unref'd waited for that close on main already. Behind server.unref():

• 'finish' of socket.end(data) at read EOF destroys the socket, and the bytes that TLS holds still arrive, as on main (256 KiB: all of them).
• New: the 'close' events of the socket and the server come, as in Node. On 5af7e9d the process exits without them.
• New, and the cost: with a backlog and a peer that never reads, the process exits after 13.5 s, not after 1.7 s as on 5af7e9d (debug builds). Node exits at once.

Not changed by this PR

Each gives the same result on 1.4.3, on main and here.

• socket.unref() and socket.ref() do nothing on these sockets.
• Behind server.unref() the reads of a tunnel do not hold the loop, and server.ref() after server.close() does nothing. In Node a socket holds the loop by itself.
• An Upgrade request with a body: until the body has ended the socket is not a tunnel, and uWS does not flush what the 'upgrade' listener wrote. Behind server.unref() the process exits with those bytes unsent.
• A top-level await of server.close(cb) with a read-stopped tunnel open never settles. It waited idle before and now spins, as any unsettled top-level await with an empty event loop does in Bun (await new Promise(() => {})). Node exits with code 13.

How did you verify your code works?

54 new tests: 53 in test/js/node/http/node-http-connect.test.ts and 1 in test/js/node/http/node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts. All pass on a debug build of this branch (3 runs of both files, no failure).

On a canary of main (9634520), 40 of them fail (3 runs, the same 40):

• The fixture of bug 1.
• For http and https, 'connect' and 'upgrade', after server.close(): a tunnel that the listener ended does not keep the process alive when its reads stop. It keeps it alive again until the bytes it has left to send are sent. It keeps it alive again from the moment it gets a reader until it has read 8 MiB more and closed.
• For http and https: behind server.unref() and server.ref(), a tunnel whose reads stopped keeps the process alive from the moment it gets a reader up to its 'end'.
• For the same four, behind server.unref(): a tunnel with bytes left to send keeps the process alive until they are sent, and the peer gets every byte. That is with its reads stopped after server.close(), with its reads stopped while the server listens, and at read EOF with the write before server.close(). Once they are sent it does not keep it alive, although it reads again meanwhile. The second of two such tunnels keeps it alive once the first has sent its own.
• https, with a send buffer of 4 KiB (setSocketOptions of bun:internal-for-testing): 3 of the 4 cells of the table of bug 3. A tunnel behind server.unref() whose bytes only TLS holds (writableLength is 0) keeps the process alive until they are sent. A tunnel that is destroyed with such bytes emits 'close', and so does its server.

The other 14 pass on main too and hold what a part of the fix would break:

• The first two rows of the server.unref() table, for http and https.
• socket.destroy() with bytes left to send, for the four.
• A WebSocket that adopts a connection with bytes left to send (ws.handleUpgrade()) and closes it, for http and https.
• The fourth cell of the table of bug 3 (64 KiB behind server.unref()).
• https, socket.end() of 256 KiB at read EOF, with and without server.unref(): the peer, another process, gets every byte.
• https: a request reads its body behind the FIN of req.socket.end(), also when TLS held a part of the response (node:http: a request gets its body behind the FIN of socket.end() #44419, which the canary does not have yet: run on a debug build of 5af7e9d).

With Node v22.22.0 as the child process, 39 of the 53 pass as they are. 6 are the "reads again" tests, where Node stays alive because the socket reads. 8 need bun:internal-for-testing.

Each clause removed from a debug build, and the tests that then fail:

Removed	Tests that fail
updateTunnelIdle() counts stopped reads	18: the fixture, the 12 "after server.close()" tests, the 2 server.ref() tests, 2 of bug 3 and the 'close' test (never exits)
readStop() calls it	the 4 "behind the listener's end()" tests (never exits)
readStart() calls it	the 4 "again when it reads" tests and the 2 server.ref() tests (exits with only the buffered bytes read)
+3 is skipped behind server.unref()	the 2 and the 4 "reads again" tests (never exits)
server.ref() clears the flag	the 2 server.ref() tests
+5 takes the loop ref	25: every test that waits for bytes to be sent behind server.unref()
the count (the ref goes with the first -5)	the 2 http "second of two" tests
-5 at a close	7: the 4 "destroyed" tests, the 2 at read EOF and the 'close' test (never exits)
-5 at a WebSocket adoption	the 2 adoption tests (never exits)
bytes in the socket's buffer count as left to send	11, all http
bytes that uWS or TLS holds count as left to send	the "only TLS holds" test and the one at read EOF, both behind server.unref()
the writable event behind the held shutdown	the 2 tests of bug 3 with 1 MiB (never exits)
onWritable() gives that event to a tunnel alone	the test in node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts (ECONNRESET, no body)
halfClose() calls updateTunnelIdle()	the 2 tests of bug 3 with 64 KiB (never exits)

Added, not removed: with a -5 from close() (socket.destroy() lets go at once, as 835a3ed did) the test at read EOF behind server.unref() fails with 245760 of 262144 bytes.

No test depends any more on "and has nothing left to send" in the rule for an idle tunnel, because the new ref holds the loop for those bytes. It is main's clause and stays, so that -3 and +3 mean what they mean on main.

The rest of both files passes on the debug build with CI's --timeout=90000, except "tests should run on node.js", which needs a Node that parses await using.

The neighbouring suites on debug builds of the fix as it was up to 835a3ed (not repeated for the two commits after it), because openssl.c and the close paths of uWS are shared: test/js/node/http, test/js/node/tls, test/js/first_party/ws, the TLS, proxy and WebSocket files of Bun.serve, and 323 of Node's test-http-*, test-https-* and test-tls-* files. Every file that fails there fails with the same counts on 5af7e9d (the machine has no IPv6).

By hand, with the docs proxy in one process and its client and upstream in another: the proxy exits when the upstream goes away (1.4.3 does not), and with a slow upstream and server.close() at the start of the tunnel it delivers all 24 MiB over 14 pause/resume cycles and then exits, like Node.

Run by hand on Linux x64 only. What differs elsewhere, and how the tests stay clear of it:

• Windows takes 8 MiB in one loopback write. The tests that need bytes left to send write until socket.writableLength stays above 0, while the peer, in the same process, cannot read.
• A small send buffer leaves a part of a write to TLS every time only on Linux. Windows takes a write whole, and macOS does at times. The tests with one hold either way, except two that are for Linux only: "only TLS holds" behind server.unref(), and the one in node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts (it failed on both Windows lanes, and in 1 of 3 attempts on macOS).
• On Windows the default highWaterMark is 16 KiB, not 64 KiB. The peers send exactly getDefaultHighWaterMark(false) bytes, so the reads stop when all of it is buffered, however it arrives.
• On the physical macOS hosts the proxy's 'connect' callback can run before the upstream's 'connection' event. The fixture awaits the upstream's socket. Before that it threw there, and Bun gives an exception from a 'connect' listener to the socket's 'error' event (1.4.2 too, Node crashes), so the fixture never closed its upstream and hung.

Status

Reproduced on main (bd599f5, Linux x64) with test/js/node/http/node-http-connect-proxy-pipes-fixture.js. It is the CONNECT proxy of the Node.js documentation: its upstream goes away while pipe() has the client's socket paused, and then it calls server.close(). Node v26.3.0 and a build from before #43557 exit 0. main never exits. The two scripts of the report exit 0 in 0 of 5 runs on main and in 5 of 5 runs with this PR.

Walkthrough

Tunnel idle tracking now accounts for stopped reads and pending output. Server reference accounting tracks pending tunnel output and user unref() calls. TLS shutdown handling and tests cover tunnel lifecycle, process exit, and HTTPS request-body delivery after response FIN.

Tunnel idle and sending state packages/bun-uws/src/AsyncSocketData.h, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h, src/jsc/bindings/node/JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/node/JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.h, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h	Tunnel idle updates now account for stopped reads, read EOF, and pending output. Close and WebSocket adoption paths clear sending state.
Server reference accounting src/runtime/server/mod.rs, src/runtime/server/server_body.rs	The server tracks tunnels with pending output and holds a keep-alive reference while the count is nonzero. Server flags record user unref() calls and are cleared by ref().
TLS shutdown and writable handling packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h	TLS writable handling permits the event that completes a deferred shutdown after spill drainage. The HTTP context skips application writable processing for sockets behind their FIN.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the poll_ref change to JsCell<KeepAlive> in src/runtime/server/mod.rs (ref_/unref now take &self, so the removed &mut cast and its SAFETY comment in on_connection_filter have no surviving aliasing concern) and traced user_unrefed: it is set/cleared only by the JS server.unref()/server.ref() methods and read only at the +3 branch, so a tunnel leaving idle cannot re-ref a server the user unref'd.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the node:http tunnel idle accounting across uWS (HttpContext.h/HttpResponse.h), the C++ socket binding (JSNodeHTTPServerSocket), the TS server, and the Rust server keep-alive; it touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface. Three inline findings were posted, so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the Rust-side refactor and flag wiring that were examined and found consistent.

[robobun]

A CONNECT proxy that ends TLS itself also exits with this PR. I checked it on a debug build of main (f14a5a6) with this branch merged.

• The 'connect' listener puts new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true }) on the tunnel socket, or a tls.Server gets the socket through emit("connection", socket). Nothing reads the TLS socket. The client sends 1 MiB, then the server calls server.close().
• Node v26.3.0 exits. main never exits. With this PR the process exits in both cases.
• A fixture and two test rows for it are on the branch robobun/296cae7c/tls-on-tunnel-test (commit 0c27dba, on top of this head): test/js/node/http/node-http-connect-tls-fixture.js. They pass under bun with this PR and under node. I will open them as a test-only PR when this PR is merged.
• Not fixed by this PR: unref() on that TLS socket. A tls.TLSSocket that wraps another socket does not pass unref() to it. That is a separate change in src/js/node/net.ts.

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

Beyond the inline finding on the +4 arm, I also checked the new UNREFED_BY_USER plumbing and ruled out two things: a server.unref() made before listen() is replayed through net.Server's _unref once the handle exists, so the flag is not lost; and in the 3 | 4 arm note_tunnel_idle(false) runs before ref_(), so is_closed() is false there and the early return in ref_() cannot skip the re-ref. The updateTunnelIdle() guard change is behavior-preserving: isTunnel() covers upgraded and closed sockets, and a uWS-side queue-full pause (tunnelReadsQueuedFull) still does not count as idle.

Extended reasoning...

The push adds a ServerFlags::UNREFED_BY_USER bit set and cleared in server_body.rs's unref/ref handlers and consulted in on_connection_filter's 3 | 4 arm; the ruled-out items above concern that flag's placement and the guard refactor in JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp, none of which touch a security-sensitive surface.

buildkite/bun #130602 on 2c26d01 is red because of test/js/third_party/next-auth/next-auth.test.ts. That failure does not come from this PR.

What fails. Debian 13 x64 and Ubuntu 25.04 aarch64 (shard 10 on both) print starting server and time out at 90 s on all attempts. Four more Linux lanes passed it only on the second to fourth attempt. No other test failed, and node-http-connect.test.ts passed on the first attempt on every lane that has finished, both Windows lanes included.

Why it is not this PR's.

• main fails the same way: #130586 (2a5cbbc, 2 lanes) and #130596 (b1d4686, 7 lanes). This branch has none of main's commits after 491aaad, so no commit is common to both.
• #130526 ran the same src/ and packages/ as this head and passed the test on every lane. Only test files changed since.
• The released 1.4.3 hangs in the same place.

Cause. next dev waits for fetch("https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/next/dist-tags") with no timeout while it starts (getVersionInfo() in next@15.3.6/dist/server/dev/hot-reloader-webpack.js), so app.prepare() does not settle until the registry answers. From where I measured, that endpoint took the request and sent nothing back between 03:16 and 03:19 UTC, for next and for react (0 bytes in 20 to 30 s), while /-/ping and /next/latest answered in 0.1 s. At 03:22 UTC it answered again. I could not measure it from the CI hosts. The first failing builds started at about 02:10 UTC.

With only that one request rejected, the fixture passes on 1.4.3 in 6 s while the endpoint is down.

Fix. I found no open PR for it. It is not part of this PR since it is unrelated to the change. This patch to test/js/third_party/next-auth/fixture/server.js is what I tested:

// `next dev` waits for this with no timeout, only to report whether it is out of date.
const { fetch } = globalThis;
globalThis.fetch = (input, init) =>
  String(input?.url ?? input).startsWith("https://registry.npmjs.org/")
    ? Promise.reject(new Error("no public internet in tests"))
    : fetch(input, init);

The two darwin any x64 - test-bun jobs are still waiting for an agent. In #130526 they expired after 90 minutes without running.

buildkite/bun #130632 on 5af7e9d (the merge of main) is red because of one macOS job that ran no tests. That failure does not come from this PR.

What fails. darwin any aarch64 - test-bun, shard 1 on darwin-aarch64-26.6.2-1 stopped before the first test:

Error: buildkite-agent artifact download timed out after 120s for step 'darwin-aarch64-build-bun'.

The host's network was slow for the whole job: its git fetch of 1.75 MiB ran at 9 KiB/s.

Everything else. All 180 other jobs passed: every Linux and Windows lane, shard 0 of the same macOS step, and both darwin any x64 - test-bun jobs. next-auth.test.ts passed on the first attempt on every lane that has finished, now that the registry endpoint answers again, and node-http-connect.test.ts was not retried anywhere.

What is needed. A retry of that one job. BuildKite allows it, but I have no BuildKite credentials. That shard holds node-http-connect.test.ts, and a physical macOS host is where the CONNECT proxy fixture used to hang before 2c26d01, so a run there is worth having. Since 2c26d01 the fixture has passed on a macOS VM (darwin-arm64-challah-tart-26-1 in #130602) and on a physical x64 host: the two x64 shards of this build ran on darwin-x64-15.7.9-1 and darwin-x64-14.8.9-1, both passed, and the file is not among the retried ones. The public log of those jobs is cut before the file's output, so which of the two hosts ran it is not visible. It has not yet run on a physical aarch64 host, which is where the hang was seen.

🟡 Minor · Reevaluate tunnel idle state before the… · JSNodeHTTPServerSocketPrototype.cpp:279-287

src/jsc/bindings/node/JSNodeHTTPServerSocketPrototype.cpp:279-287
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reevaluate tunnel idle state before the onDrain() callback guard.

jsFunctionNodeHTTPServerSocketWrite() updates the tunnel sending reference even when functionToCallOnDrain is absent. If the callback is cleared before pending bytes drain, the native drain callback still reaches onDrain(), which returns before calling updateTunnelIdle(). The sending reference can remain held after the bytes drain.

Move updateTunnelIdle() before the early return. This shared boundary covers both CONNECT and Upgrade tunnel plumbing.

Suggested fix

 void JSNodeHTTPServerSocket::onDrain()
 {
     // This function can be called during GC!
     Zig::GlobalObject* globalObject = static_cast<Zig::GlobalObject*>(this->globalObject());
+    updateTunnelIdle();
     if (!functionToCallOnDrain) {
         return;
     }
 
     // A read pause or resume arms the writable event too: nothing was buffered, so nothing drained.
     if (this->streamBuffer.bufferedSize() == 0 && !heldWriteAwaitsDrain) {
-        updateTunnelIdle();
         return;
     }

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked that the new sending_tunnel_ref cannot outlive its server: setNodeHttpTunnelSending(false) runs on both -2 paths (HttpContext.h onClose and HttpResponse::upgrade) before the -2 itself, it is a no-op unless a +5 was fired, and deinit_if_we_can only tears the server down once active_connection_count is zero, so every +5 has been balanced by then.

Extended reasoning...

Findings-present ruled-out note only. The ref balance of the new sending-tunnel KeepAlive across socket close, WebSocket adoption and server deinit was traced and holds; the TLS close()/-5 timing concerns are covered by the inline comments.

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

[claude]

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

Beyond the inline finding, I checked that the new sending_tunnel_ref is balanced on every terminal path: +5 is set only on a filteredAccept socket, both close paths (HttpContext::onClose and HttpResponse::upgrade/close) force setNodeHttpTunnelSending(false) before the -2/-4 close event, and NewServer::deinit reaches the same onClose through App::destroy while the server box is still live, so no +5 can outlive its socket. The +3 arm now honors UNREFED_BY_USER, and the count - 1 decrement in note_tunnel_sending replaced the saturating form from the previous push.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches the node:http tunnel keep-alive accounting across usockets (openssl.c writable gating), uWS (new +5/-5 filter event), the C++ socket binding (updateTunnelIdle on readStop/readStart/halfClose) and the Rust server (sending_tunnel_count, sending_tunnel_ref, UNREFED_BY_USER); it touches no auth, crypto-policy or input-parsing surface. The one surviving finding is a pre-existing Upgrade-with-body gap, so a human maintainer still decides whether it rides this PR; this note only records what else was examined.

[claude]

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: on an Upgrade request that carries a body, bytes a listener writes before the body completes neither hold the event loop nor get flushed, so behind server.unref() the process exits with them unsent and socket.end() after them never sends its FIN. updateTunnelIdle() at JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:902 returns while isConnectRequest is still false (HTTP_NODE_TUNNEL_AFTER_BODY), so no +5 fires, and HttpContext.h:940 skips onSocketDrain for the same reason, so the writable event drops its interest with streamBuffer still full. Fix: treat a HTTP_NODE_TUNNEL_AFTER_BODY socket as a tunnel for drain and sending/idle accounting, so the rule "bytes left to send hold the loop" covers this sibling path too.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

An 'upgrade' listener for a request with Content-Length > 0 calls socket.write(data) larger than the kernel takes while the body is still arriving. jsFunctionNodeHTTPServerSocketWrite (JSNodeHTTPServerSocketPrototype.cpp:281) parks the rest in streamBuffer, then calls updateTunnelIdle(), which returns at JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:902 because isTunnel() reads isConnectRequest and that is only set at HttpContext.h:672 when the body's fin is parsed; so setNodeHttpTunnelSending(true) never runs and sending_tunnel_ref (mod.rs:1633) is never taken. The writable event reaches HttpContext::onWritable, but :940 gates onSocketDrain on isConnectRequest, so JSNodeHTTPServerSocket::onDrain never flushes streamBuffer and loop.c:665 drops the writable interest. With server.unref() and nothing else holding the loop, the process exits with the bytes unsent; without unref, a later socket.end() returns at JSNodeHTTPServerSocketPrototype.cpp:317-320 waiting for a drain that never comes, so the FIN is never sent. The base branch behaves the same on this path.

Verification: pre-existing. An 'upgrade' listener for an Upgrade request that carries a body writes more than the kernel takes while the body is still arriving. updateTunnelIdle() returns at JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:902, so no +5 fires. HttpContext::onWritable skips onSocketDrain at HttpContext.h:940, and loop.c:665-666 then drops writable polling. Behind server.unref() the process exits with the bytes unsent.

[dylan-conway]

Stays as is, and the description lists it under "Not changed by this PR": the same output on 1.4.3, on a canary of main, on 5af7e9d and here, for http and https. Taking +5 alone there would be worse than today, because uWS does not flush that buffer until the body has ended: a body that never ends would hold the process for good. It needs the drain path changed first, so it is a fix of its own.

[claude]

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: over plain http a request body sent behind the FIN of req.socket.end() is still dropped when the finished response does not fit the kernel send buffer; the new SSL-only branch at HttpContext.h:899 lets https read it. For non-SSL, deferShutdownUntilResponseDrains (JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:358-369) sees uWS bytes and sets HTTP_CONNECTION_CLOSE, so the gate at HttpContext.h:1017-1021 runs shutdown() then close() once drained. Fix: on the non-SSL twin, a half-close deferred behind buffered response bytes must end in a shutdown only (a half-close-after-drain state consumed by onWritable), as the small-response path and Node (allowHalfOpen) do; then unskip the http row at node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts:187. [also at: test/js/node/http/node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts:204 - nit, pre-existing: this test locks in https keeping a Connection: close connection open after req.socket.end() to read the body behind its FIN, which Node and Bun's own http twin do not do.]
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

A node:http (not https) handler calls res.end(body) with a body larger than the kernel takes in one send, then req.socket.end(), and the client sends a request body after it receives the server's FIN (the http row that test/js/node/http/node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts:187 skips). jsFunctionNodeHTTPServerSocketEnd (JSNodeHTTPServerSocketPrototype.cpp:303) calls shutdownAfterResponseDrains; deferShutdownUntilResponseDrains at JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:358-369 finds getBufferedAmount() > 0 and sets HTTP_CONNECTION_CLOSE instead of a half-close. When the buffer drains, HttpContext::onWritable reaches the gate at HttpContext.h:997-1023: shouldCloseConnection() is true, so it runs shutdown() and close() and the request body never reaches req ('close' without 'end'). Over https getBufferedAmount() is 0, halfClose() defers only the shutdown, and the new early return at HttpContext.h:899-905 keeps that gate from running, so the body is read. The base branch drops the body on http the same way; this PR fixes only the SSL twin.

Verification: JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp:358-369 sets HTTP_CONNECTION_CLOSE (line 364) when getBufferedAmount() != 0, so halfClose() is never reached. On the next writable event the gate at HttpContext.h:1017-1021 runs asyncSocket->shutdown(); asyncSocket->close(); and the body the client sends after seeing the FIN is never read. The new early return at HttpContext.h:899-905 is SSL-only.

[dylan-conway]

Both points are right, and both stay as they are in this PR: I ran res.end(body) + req.socket.end() + a request body behind the FIN for http/https, with and without Connection: close, with 2 B / 64 KiB / 8 MiB responses behind a 4 KiB SO_SNDBUF, and this head gives the same result as 5af7e9dc in all 12 cases.

• Without Connection: close, Node v22.22.0 reads the body in all six cases. Bun drops it over http at 64 KiB and 8 MiB, and over https at 8 MiB. A half-close that waits for the uWS buffer is a change to ordinary responses, not to tunnels, so it belongs in its own PR.
• With Connection: close, Node reads the body in none of the six cases. Bun reads it only over https at 64 KiB, where TLS alone holds the rest of the response. The test pins that case because it is the one place where the new writable event behind the FIN could change what an ordinary response does, not because it matches Node. If another push comes, the comment above the test will say so.

buildkite/bun is red on 8f729a77 (#130878), and no test failed: 179 of 181 jobs passed, and the other two, both :darwin: any x64 - test-bun, expired after 1 h 43 min in the queue without ever getting an agent (os=darwin, arch=x64, queue=test-darwin).

This is not from this PR. In the 17 other builds I sampled that queued this lane since 05:12 UTC today, its jobs never started either. They expired in #130750, #130800, #130820, #130845, #130850, #130855, #130876, #130880, #130884, #130888, #130892 and #130896. main did get x64 agents for its 14 x64 jobs (#130767, #130816). There is nothing to port: the only CI change on main since this branch's base is the Windows sign step (#46462).

What that leaves unchecked: the macOS x64 tests have not run on any of 835a3ed4, eabb827d, 66a58c9d or 8f729a77. On 8f729a77, both macOS aarch64 test jobs and every Linux and Windows job passed, and no annotation names node-http-connect.test.ts or node-http-server-socket-end-drain.test.ts.

I cannot retry BuildKite jobs from here. Someone with access can retry the two expired jobs once x64 agents are free.
