refactor(http): pin by dialling the validated address, not by overriding DNS - #3683
Conversation
…tFamily The pinned transport asked the runtime to race the whole validated address set via autoSelectFamily. Node implements that; Bun does not, so a host whose DNS carries an unreachable family fails outright instead of falling through. esm.sh publishes both A and AAAA records, and on a machine without an IPv6 route Bun picked an AAAA address and died: connect ECONNREFUSED esm.sh:443 at node:_http_client Isolated to twelve lines, same lookup returning IPv6 then IPv4: Node -> status 200 Bun -> ECONNREFUSED The transport now plans its own attempts: the full set first, so runtimes that honour autoSelectFamily keep racing it, then one address at a time with the other family ahead of a sibling of the one that just failed, because a host with no IPv6 route fails on every AAAA record. Pinning is unchanged. Every candidate was already validated by the egress policy, so only the order of use differs and nothing new is reachable. Retries are limited to connect-level codes, excluding ECONNRESET, which can mean the request was already seen; and to bodies that re-read identically, since Blob and ReadableStream are consumed by Readable.fromWeb and would replay as nothing. Coverage is runtime-independent on purpose. The behavioural test for this transport is gated on isNode and silently no-ops in the Deno lane, so the planner and both predicates are tested directly instead.

Walking the addresses was necessary but not sufficient. Bun raises connect
failures through process.nextTick(() => self.emit("error", err)), so the
emit lands after the attempt's promise has settled and after the once()
listener has been consumed. With no listener left, Node stream semantics
escalate it to an uncaught exception and the process exits: one refused
address took down the dev server rather than failing a single request.
Each request now keeps a permanent no-op error sink alongside the once()
rejection path, and an abandoned attempt is destroyed before the next
address is tried.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pinned HTTP fetch implementation now plans validated-address attempts, classifies retriable connection failures, checks request-body replayability, and retries failed connections when safe. Tests cover planning, classification, body types, and Node transport fallback. ChangesPinned connection retry
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The transport may replay a request after a write-stage timeout even when the server could already have received it, which can duplicate non-idempotent operations.

283-301: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winBound each pinned connection attempt explicitly
RequestOptions.timeoutdoes not guarantee a connection deadline in Node 24, and Bun’s connect-phase behavior depends on the runtime version. Add an explicit per-attempt timer that destroys the request withETIMEDOUT, and clear it when the response starts so slow responses are not aborted.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Bun's node:https ignores a custom lookup. Isolated against esm.sh, same options on both runtimes: plain (no lookup) Bun 200 Node 200 servername only Bun 200 Node 200 custom lookup only Bun ECONNREFUSED Node 200 It fails even when the lookup returns the reachable IPv4 address curl uses, so the pin was not merely mis-ordered on Bun, it was inert: no address the policy validated could be reached through it. Dialling the address directly asks nothing of the runtime. Identity still travels with the request: the Host header is set from the original URL and TLS SNI keeps the original hostname, which is what the DNS override was protecting. Each attempt now carries exactly one address, so the walk is ours rather than autoSelectFamily's, and createPinnedLookup is gone. Deno is unaffected: worker-egress-guard.ts:1248 sends Node and Bun through this transport and Deno through startPinnedSocksTunnel.

changed the title
ETIMEDOUT is not exclusively a connect failure; it also surfaces when a socket times out after the request was written, where a replay could deliver a non-idempotent request twice. It is now retried only when error.syscall is "connect". Blob is replayable after all: it is immutable and writeRequestBody calls body.stream() per attempt, so each attempt reads identical bytes. Only a ReadableStream stays excluded, since the failed attempt drained it.

What was wrong
The pinned transport overrode DNS with a custom
lookupand asked the runtime to race the validated set viaautoSelectFamily. Both are documented Node behaviours. Bun ≤ 1.3.13 honours neither:It failed even when the lookup returned the reachable IPv4 address
curluses, so on those versions the pin was inert — no address the egress policy validated could be reached through it.Worth stating precisely, because it is the difference between broken and insecure: Bun failed closed. Supplying a lookup killed the connection rather than silently falling back to its own DNS resolution. Had it resolved on its own we would have seen 200s and an actual validation bypass; we saw refusals. This was an availability failure, not an SSRF hole.
Why take it anyway
lookupsupport, noautoSelectFamily. Identity still travels with the request:Hostfrom the original URL, TLS SNI unchanged, which is what the DNS override existed to protect.process.nextTick(() => self.emit("error", err)), so an emit can land after the attempt's promise settled and afteronce("error", …)was consumed. With no listener left, Node stream semantics escalate it to an uncaught exception and the process exits — one refused address took down the dev server instead of failing a request. Each request now keeps a permanent no-op sink beside theoncepath, and abandoned attempts are destroyed before the next address is tried. That class of late emit is not unique to the lookup bug.Pinning is unchanged
Every candidate was already validated by the egress policy, so only the order of use differs — nothing new becomes reachable. Retries are limited to connect-level codes (excluding
ECONNRESET, which can mean the request was already seen) and to bodies that re-read identically, sinceBlobandReadableStreamare consumed byReadable.fromWeband would replay as nothing.createPinnedLookupis deleted rather than left dead.Deno is not affected

Coverage
The behavioural test for this transport is gated on
isNodeand silently no-ops in the Deno lane —isDeno=true isNode=falsethere, so a test written that way passes in 0ms without executing. The planner and both predicates are tested directly and runtime-independently instead: attempt ordering, other-family-first, connect-code selectivity, and body replayability.
