Problem

• A chunked body can cross maxRequestBodySize after the handler answered. With only the status line out, main completes an empty 200. A request that pipes fetch() is never released.
• req.signal does not abort, so a producer that waits on it never wakes.
• Cause: end_with_payload_too_large() (RequestContext.rs:1451) ends the response with end_without_body, as if it were complete.

Fix

• Both arms call abort(), the teardown of a client that left: req.signal aborts, the producer is cancelled, body reads reject. The client gets 413 if no status is written, else a reset.
• The reason is a new CommonAbortReason, an AbortError naming the limit. Reads keep their Error.
• end_request_streaming() returns early when no body is left.
• Verified: serve-response-in-flight.test.ts (84 of 134 fail on main), serve, fetch, bake, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 suites.

Background

• uWS sends the status line when the handler returns, so a 413 cannot replace it.
• abort() covers both crash cases that Hardening follow-up: fix regressions from #46021 and more crashes #46270 fixed in end_with_payload_too_large(), so that function goes.
• Rejected: failing the body before the signal (an uncaught reader.cancel() exits the process) and a plain Error reason (AbortError-only loops spin).

Downsides

• req.signal aborts on the limit. As on a disconnect, a body reader the handler cancels from there reads { done: true } (main: rejects) and while (true) await c.write(chunk) never ends (main: throws).
• Behind nginx with proxy_request_buffering off, a reset before the headers end is a 502 and disables the backend (6 of 6 runs; main: 200) until Bun.serve: send the whole HTTP/1 response head when a streamed body is not ready #45187.
• No speed or size cost: a keep-alive GET ran 1572 instructions (main: 1662).

Notes

How it was found, and the releases

By inspection, with no issue filed. One chunked POST that crosses the limit (limit 32), under a default stream that wrote one chunk:

release	wire	the handler hears	pendingRequests
1.3.10	the limit is not applied to a body without Content-Length
1.3.14, 1.4.0	the chunk, no terminating chunk, FIN	nothing	1, and server.stop() stays pending
1.4.1 to 1.4.3	the chunk and 0\r\n\r\n	cancel(undefined)	0
main	the chunk, then a FIN with no terminating chunk	cancel(undefined)	0
this PR	the chunk, then a reset	abort, cancel(reason)	0

With only the status line written, main sends Connection: close, a blank line and a FIN: a complete, empty 200. With a response piped from fetch(), pendingRequests stays at 1 and server.stop() stays pending.

#29768 added the limit for these bodies, #30077 routed its 413 through end_without_body, and #31221 copied that to the streaming arm. None of them names a response that has begun. #46270 took the crash fixes of this pull request and of #46074: the sink is revoked in detach_response(), which is why main no longer writes the terminating chunk, and end_with_payload_too_large() ends a dev server wait and resets a Bun.file() answer.

Reach

A request with a body and no usable Content-Length (HTTP/1.1 chunked, or HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 without the header), and a body that reaches the limit while the request is alive. Bun pauses a body that the handler does not read at about 1 MiB, so an unread body reaches only a limit near that size or below. A Content-Length over the limit is refused before the handler runs, as before.

What the handler hears

The teardown is abort(), which on_abort runs for a client that left. The order is the same for both causes:

1. req.signal aborts. The reason is AbortError: Request body exceeded maxRequestBodySize.
2. The producer of the response body is cancelled. A JavaScript stream on the response gets the same AbortError in cancel(). A producer behind a native pipe hears AbortError: The operation was aborted., as on a disconnect.
3. Reads of the request body reject with Error: Request body exceeded maxRequestBodySize, the error that main gives them.

fetch(upstream, { body: req.body, signal: req.signal }) now rejects with the AbortError, where main rejected with the Error. Without signal it rejects with the Error, as on main. A forwarder that reads AbortError as "the client left" does not log the limit.

One thing differs from a client that left. A body that nothing has read yet is failed before step 1, as on main. A first read from inside the teardown then rejects. After a disconnect that read finds an empty body, and Bun.write(file, req) writes an empty file.

The request remembers that its body was refused (flags.request_body_refused), so each place that fails what is left of the body gives the limit error. abort() has no branch for it.

Decisions in this PR

• One root choice: the server ends a response that has begun, through the abort teardown. Main ends it too, and frames it as complete. The other model fails only the read and leaves the response to its producer (Go's MaxBytesReader): an endless stream then outlives the limit.
• Two things come with that choice. req.signal has to abort: the sink of a response that is gone answers write() with 0, so the signal and cancel() are the only things that stop a producer. And every response that is still pending is reset, also a closed stream or a Buffer whose bytes uWS still holds: the server cannot tell them from a stream that still has chunks.
• The reason is an AbortError, not the plain Error. With the plain Error, a loop around fetch(url, { signal: req.signal }) that leaves only on AbortError ran 200,000 turns and starved the server, and a Readable.toWeb() body was destroyed with a non-abort error. CommonAbortReason is the enum that AbortSignal re-creates its reason from, so a signal that JavaScript never touched keeps the reason across a collection.
• The handler is told before the body fails, as on a disconnect. In the other order, req.signal.addEventListener("abort", () => reader.cancel()) returns a rejected promise that nothing catches, and the process exits.
• while (true) await c.write(chunk) never ends after the limit, as after a disconnect: write() returns 0 (docs/runtime/streams.mdx, docs: cover a 0 return from a direct stream's write(), fix the WebView url option JSDoc #42172). Main threw from write() on the limit.
• Free to drop: the signal on the plain 413, and cancel(reason) in place of cancel(undefined).
• Nothing is printed. A response that close_incomplete_stream resets (a producer that failed) still does not abort req.signal.

Not changed

• The uWS parser-error arm (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h:772) writes a canned 400, 413, 431 or 505 into a response in flight, for any parse error. No open PR fixes it: Bun.serve: queue the parse-error response behind the buffered response instead of truncating it #38181 touches that block and keeps the write.
• HTTP/3 closes a stream that has sent its headers with a FIN, so that client reads a complete 200. Bun.serve(http3): reset the stream when a response body fails mid-body #40598 is the fix. The HTTP/3 test asserts what the handler hears.
• The limit is not checked behind a complete response, for a static or file route, or under a Bun.file() response. The JSDoc says so.
• Bun answers the 413 and closes. A client that is still sending can see a reset before it reads the 413, as on main.
• A body that the handler cancelled is still counted while it arrives.

Other open PRs

#45187 sends the response head earlier (the nginx Downside). #40598 is the HTTP/3 reset. #39965 edits the 413 write, which now lives in refuse_request.

The nginx rows

nginx 1.28.0, two backends, proxy_http_version 1.1, proxy_request_buffering off, default max_fails. The client uploads 1 KiB every 5 ms to a handler that answered with a stream (limit 8192).

build	the stream has written	client	backend
main	nothing	200 with a cut body, 6 of 6	kept
this PR	nothing	502, 6 of 6	"temporarily disabled", 6 of 6
this PR	a chunk	200, then the connection closes, 6 of 6	kept

Tests

serve-response-in-flight.test.ts has a table of handlers. Each row runs twice: the body crosses the limit, and the client leaves at the same point. The second run must hear what the first heard, with the reason of a client that left. The rows that differ say so (whenTheClientLeaves). The file also covers: producers that run until something stops them, responses with megabytes in flight, requests that feed each other, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, a handler that first reads req.signal after a collection, and fixtures in a process of their own for what must not end or crash a process.

The two rows where the handler answers with a file expect 413 for the refused request. Main resets that connection. Main's own tests for the two crashes (bun-serve-file.test.ts, test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts, serve-plugins-dev-server.test.ts) pass with this change.

Not added: a row for a client that keeps writing through the 413 (two wire outcomes are valid), and rows for the uWS parser arm.

Suites run on a debug + ASAN build: serve, serve-async-stream-client-abort, serve-direct-readable-stream, async-iterator-stream, serve-error-handler-stream, serve-pending-promise-abort-leak, serve-response-gc-backpressure-abort, serve-reused-response, serve-http2, serve-http2-lifecycle, serve-http3, bun-serve-file, bun-server, body-clone, abort, fetch-abort-stream-body, and the bake deinitialization and serve-plugins-dev-server. Two tests of serve.test.ts fail here with and without this change (a privileged port as root, and a sendfile abort that times out on a debug build).

Self-reviewed: 31 concerns raised, 28 addressed. Not taken: the row for a client that keeps writing, test.todo rows for the uWS parser arm, and a fix for that arm in this PR. The bake fix and its test, which the self-review asked for, are on main through #46270.

Measurements

Measured before the rebase onto #46270: release builds of the earlier head dbe37685ec and of main at 6f58f6b894. size -A on bun-profile: .text 81,695,461 to 81,693,669. The stripped binary shrank by 4,096 bytes. Instruction counts are from qemu-x86_64 -one-insn-per-tb -d exec,nochain over the server, sink and ByteStream symbols, 40 iterations minus 20:

per request	main	this PR
keep-alive GET	1662	1572
stream of 8 chunks	3647	3565
POST, await req.text()	2568	2331
POST, body read as a stream	4455	4353
client abort of a streamed response	2856	2825
client abort of a pending request	1346	1295

The GET row is exact. The others vary by about 10 between runs of one binary. Most of the gain is end_request_streaming(): it ran about 64 instructions twice per request to find nothing to fail, and now returns after two checks. The POST row also loses the inline over-limit arms of on_buffered_body_chunk.

Main has since taken the sink revoke of #46074 inline in detach_response(). Inline, it cost a GET 9 instructions, because detach_response() then saves one more register. Out of line, as here, it costs 3.

The nginx rows are from the same builds. Both sides of them hold on the current heads: main still answers the status-only case with a complete 200, and this change resets it.

Status

How it was reproduced

Reproduced with a raw net client: send a chunked POST whose handler returns a streaming Response, wait for the status line, then send a chunk that takes the body over maxRequestBodySize. On main the client reads

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/octet-stream
Connection: close

and the connection closes with a FIN: a complete, empty 200 in place of the 413. The handler hears cancel(undefined) and req.signal does not abort. With a proxying handler (fetch() forwarded to an upstream) the request stays in pendingRequests, its upstream socket stays open, and server.stop() never resolves.

This head

a806d6ff88 is one commit on main. #46270 landed the two crash fixes that this pull request carried (and the sink revoke of #46074, which is closed), so what is left here is the change itself: the limit takes the teardown of a client abort (req.signal, then cancel(), then the body fails), with an AbortError that names the limit, and a response that has begun is reset.

Self-reviewed: 31 concerns raised, 28 addressed. The three that were not taken are in the Notes of the description.

[claude]

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 re-entrancy paths in reject_oversized_request_body: a nested on_abort triggered from another request's error() handler re-runs revoke_response_writer, but revoke_response only stores (state Aborted, res = None) and finalize is a no-op once the sink is no longer Writing, so the sink is not torn down twice; and the natively piped ByteStream ref is released exactly once because notify_revoked_writer take()s the slot before deref(), so whichever of the nested or outer call wins the take pays the ref and the other skips it.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewires Bun.serve's response-writer teardown in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs, src/runtime/webcore/streams.rs and src/runtime/webcore/ByteStream.rs into a revoke-then-notify protocol, collapsing two oversized-body exits into one and reordering on_abort so a req.signal listener cannot reach a freed uWS response; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface but is raw-pointer FFI lifecycle code. The posted findings (a behavior change that resets a fully-produced response, plus a serial-test-file nit) and the unposted verified finding mean a human must still look, so this note only records the re-entrancy and ref-balance paths that were examined and ruled out.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Abort req.signal when the response has already started.

When resp.has_responded() is true, reject_oversized_request_body() ends the response but does not call set_signal_aborted(). Revoking the response writer does not abort the handler's req.signal. A reachable direct-stream producer can therefore remain blocked while waiting for that signal.

The pre-PR streamed path had the same gap, so this is an incomplete correction rather than a regression.

On the finding outside the diff ("Abort req.signal when the response has already started"): not taken. The branch it names is resp.has_responded(), which is a response that is complete, not one that has started.

• A response that has started and is not complete takes the other branch. That branch fires req.signal before the producer is cancelled. The producer:* scenarios and the table rows cover it.
• A complete response does not abort req.signal on any path, with or without this PR. uWS clears the abort callback and the body callback in markDone() (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponseData.h:46). For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, on_abort returns before the signal when the stream has responded (RequestContext.rs:1692).
• Measured on main and on this branch, with a direct stream that writes, ends, and then waits on req.signal: no abort after an over-limit chunk, after a client disconnect, or after the upload finishes.
• I could not make the exit reach that branch. After markDone() an over-limit chunk does not reach the exit. A stream that ends while the exit runs detaches the response before the exit reads it again. The branch keeps the guard that main has at both sites (if !resp.has_responded()).

04567c0 covers the case next to it, a stream that attaches while the exit runs and is still in flight: the exit revokes it, resets the response, and fires req.signal.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push (58c1a8b, the new Revoked sink state) and found no bugs; given that this PR rewires response teardown across the sink, ByteStream pipe and uWS with raw-pointer dispatch, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed on this push:

• The revoke-to-notify window in src/runtime/webcore/streams.rs: is_done() covers Revoked, so finalize(), on_auto_flush() and flush_no_wait() stay inert on a revoked sink; a parked write() reuses the one WritablePending promise and notify_revoked() sets Aborted before flush_promise() settles it, so a re-entrant write cannot park again.
• Native sources (ByteStream/FileReader) get Backpressure(0) in that window and are released by source.abort() at the end of notify_revoked().
• The sink slot in RequestContext is only cleared by deinit/handle_resolve_stream, and reject_oversized_request_body asserts pin_count > 0, so the second revoke_response_writer() after the body error cannot see a freed sink.

Extended reasoning...

The PR replaces two inlined over-limit exits in src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs with one cold exit that revokes the response body writer, fails the request body, closes the response by phase (413 or connection/stream reset), fires req.signal and then notifies the producer; the newest commit adds an HTTPServerWritableState::Revoked state so writes between revoke and notify park on a promise instead of returning 0. It touches the maxRequestBodySize enforcement boundary (a resource-limit/DoS surface) and unsafe raw-pointer dispatch in sink teardown, with no injection or auth surface. The bug hunt ran dry with no findings on this push, and the new state machine checks out, but the change is ~1,600 lines across the HTTP server, sink and ByteStream with an earlier inline thread of mine on the reset-a-complete-response design still open (author replied, not independently resolved), so this is not a candidate for bot-only approval.

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

Beyond the inline nit, I re-checked the two points from the previous round against 302a7ae: write_after_done now copies source out before the cancel and reads nothing from the sink afterward (matching notify_revoked), and the new "a direct stream that waits on a write" row pins cancel:<abort reason> for a producer parked on the sink, so the cancel is no longer optional in the matrix. Nothing further found in the revoke/notify ordering of reject_oversized_request_body and on_abort.

Extended reasoning...

The latest push touches only the revoked-sink cancel in src/runtime/webcore/streams.rs and adds one test row; the remaining diff is the multi-commit teardown rework across RequestContext.rs, streams.rs and ByteStream.rs already reviewed in earlier runs. No security-sensitive surface beyond request-size limit enforcement, which keeps the pre-existing 413 path. The one confirmed finding this run is a nit about an unreachable branch, and the prior round's open items are addressed by 302a7ae, so this note records what was re-verified rather than new concerns.

🔴 Operators fronting Bun with nginx (proxy_request_buffering off) now get a 502 and a backend marked failed; the base returned 200 with a cut body. Trigger: a chunked upload crosses maxRequestBodySize while a streaming response has written no chunk. refuse_request at RequestContext.rs:403 then sends a RST after the status line but before the header section ends; nginx counts that toward max_fails. Fix: end the header section before the reset whenever a status was written but no body byte went out, e.g. resp.flush_headers(true) when !resp.state().is_http_write_called(), then force_close(). The PR calls this a deferred downside; any client can trigger it. [also at: src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:1672 - HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 clients that overrun maxRequestBodySize against a streaming handler get a bare RST_STREAM(INTERNAL_ERROR) instead of the 413 nothing prevents. refuse_request picks reset over 413 from flags.has_written_status() at RequestContext.rs:1672, but do_render_stream sets that flag at :2330-2332 while HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 still hold the HEADERS frame back until the first body byte, so no status has reached the client.]

Why this was flagged

A client sends a chunked POST with no Content-Length to a route whose handler returned new Response(readableStream) and whose pull has not written a chunk, and the body crosses maxRequestBodySize; on_buffered_body_chunk at RequestContext.rs:4227 or :4298 calls reject_oversized_request_body, which runs abort and refuse_request (:1670). do_render_stream at :2330-2332 already ran render_metadata when the handler returned, so has_written_status is true and the status line plus headers were flushed, but uWS writes the "\r\n" that ends the header section only at the first body write (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:836). refuse_request takes the else branch at :401-403 and calls resp.force_close(), a SO_LINGER{1,0} RST (src/uws_sys/us_socket_t.rs:34). A proxy reading the upstream sees a status line with an unterminated header section and a reset: a 502 for that client and a failure counted toward max_fails, which with the default max_fails=1 removes the backend from rotation for fail_timeout (10s). On the base branch the same arm ran end_with_payload_too_large -> end_without_body(!MUX), which terminated the headers and the body, so the proxy got a complete 200. The only guard, the 413 branch at :397, runs only when no status was written.

Verification: do_render_stream (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:2330-2332) calls render_metadata() when the handler returns, so has_written_status is true; the header-terminating \r\n is only emitted by write()/internalEnd/endWithoutBody. refuse_request takes the else arm at :401-403: resp.force_close(), an RST. On base, end_without_body(!MUX) wrote the terminating \r\n, so nginx returned 200; now it answers 502 and counts the error toward max_fails.
