Found by a fuzz run. Replaces #33611 (stale, unreviewed).

Problem

  • On HTTP/1, server.timeout(req, N) stays on the connection after its response. After one server.timeout(req, 0) request, Bun never closes that connection.
  • One per-socket byte held the server's idleTimeout and the override (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:58). Nothing restored the server's value.

Fix

  • The uWS HTTP context holds the server's value. Each response starts under it.
  • server.timeout() sets only the override. It ends when the response is complete and drained.
  • Routes only arm the timer, so a Bun.file body keeps the override, as in Bun.serve: apply server.timeout(req, n) to a Bun.file response body #45788.
  • Verified: 14 new tests in serve.test.ts, serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts and serve-syscall-fault.test.ts, 11 fail on main plus the test hook. Other suites: no new failure. Self-reviewed: 25 concerns raised, 18 addressed (Notes).

Background

Downsides

  • Needs a maintainer's decision. With idleTimeout: 0, server.timeout(req, N) no longer closes the kept connection after N seconds. vellum-assistant and fleet-deck rely on that, and Bun.serve expects idleTimeout to be 255 or less #15589 suggests it. idleTimeout: min(N, 255) does that on both versions.
  • server.timeout(req, 0) no longer keeps an idle connection open (Memory usage difference between v1.2.0 and v1.1.45 #16703). A value below idleTimeout ends a stalled Bun.file body.
  • Each request pays 7 instructions and one never-taken branch. .text grows 4,224 bytes, the test-only hook included.
Notes

The decision

Do you accept that idleTimeout: 0 plus a nonzero server.timeout(req, N) no longer closes the kept HTTP/1 connection? My recommendation is yes.

  • The docs give the call the scope of one request: "Override the idle timeout for an individual request" (docs/runtime/http/server.mdx). The HTTP/2 test from Bun.serve: HTTP/2 support via http2: true #40137 says the same: "once it's done the connection's idle timeout must apply again".
  • HTTP/2 never had this reaper. With idleTimeout: 0 and server.timeout(req, 1), main closes the kept HTTP/1 connection at 4.0 s and leaves the HTTP/2 connection open at 13 s. This PR leaves both open.
  • If the answer is no, endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() can keep a nonzero override when the server's value is 0. HTTP/1 then keeps one case where the override outlives its request. I did not build that.

Who uses it:

  • vellum-ai/vellum-assistant, assistant/src/runtime/http-server.ts: idleTimeout: 0 (line 303) and server.timeout(req, 1800) on every request (line 791).
  • lacion/fleet-deck, src/daemon/http.ts: idleTimeout: 0 (line 2496) and server.timeout() at the end of each response as the reaper of kept connections (line 223). tests/http-stall.test.ts in that repo tests it.
  • Bun.serve expects idleTimeout to be 255 or less #15589: a Bun member confirmed idleTimeout: 0 with server.timeout(req, 310) ("Yes but you are still limited to up to 255 in value").
  • Memory usage difference between v1.2.0 and v1.1.45 #16703: a maintainer wrote "If you do server.timeout(req, 0) it should disable the timeout entirely". The user then planned for "my server would never initiate a close connection". After this PR that plan needs idleTimeout: 0.

Every changed case (release builds, Linux x64)

In use today main this PR Same on both
idleTimeout: 0 and server.timeout(req, N) on every request kept connection closed N s after the response (N = 310: 256.1 s) not closed (open at 275 s) idleTimeout: min(N, 255) (256.1 s on both)
nonzero idleTimeout and server.timeout(req, 0) on every request kept connection never closed closed at idleTimeout idleTimeout: 0
server.timeout(req, N) with N above idleTimeout kept connection stays for N closed at idleTimeout idleTimeout: min(N, 255)
in-flight limit F, kept-connection limit K idleTimeout: F, (req, K) before the response idleTimeout: K, (req, F) at the start idleTimeout: K, (req, F) at the start, (req, K) again while the response is pending

Other changes:

  • Bun.file bodies follow the override again, as every other body kind does. A 32 MiB file over plain TCP, client stalled 9 s:

    1.3.12 1.3.13 main this PR
    idleTimeout: 1, server.timeout(req, 0) whole cut cut whole
    idleTimeout: 30, server.timeout(req, 1) cut whole whole cut

    serve: consolidate file streaming into FileResponseStream; Range support; fix aborted-stream hang #29202 (1.3.13) made the file stream write the server's value at its start and on each chunk. HTTP/2 changes in the same way for a quiet Bun.file(fifo) body. Bun.serve: apply server.timeout(req, n) to a Bun.file response body #45788 makes this one change alone. If it lands first, this item is its change and not a change of this PR.

  • An upload that the handler answers early. The rest of the upload gets idleTimeout seconds from the response. A server that makes no call does the same on main. With a call, main keeps the override (open at 14 s).

  • Some requests pass no route start: a WebSocket upgrade request that fetch answers with a Response, or the 404 of a routes-only server. From their first response write, and on the kept connection after it, the timer is now idleTimeout. On main it is the compiled-in 10 s. With idleTimeout 0 or 60, main closes such a WebSocket request at 12.0 s while its streamed Response is still open. This PR leaves it open (checked for 17 s).

  • Bytes that the kernel still holds: when the response is complete and uWS has drained, the override is over. The idle close is a FIN and the kernel delivers the rest. On Linux over plain TCP, a reader that does not read for 400 s then loses the tail: 2.26 MB of 9.96 MB, with ECONNRESET. Main delivers all of it. A server that makes no call loses it on main too (2.83 MB). macOS and Windows: not measured.

What each build does (idleTimeout: 1 unless stated, raw node:net client)

case main this PR
no call, then a silent client (control) closed at 4.0 s closed at 4.0 s
server.timeout(req, 0), then a silent client open at 30 s closed at 4.0 s
server.timeout(req, 60), then a silent client open at 13 s closed at 4.0 s
server.timeout(req, 0), then half a request head open at 30 s closed at 4.0 s
server.timeout(req, 0), then a request head at 1 byte/s open at 30 s closed at 4.0 s
128-descriptor limit, 122 clients, one server.timeout(req, 0) request each 122 open after 30 s, a new client gets no answer 0 open, the new client gets its answer
server.timeout(req, 0), quiet Bun.file(fifo) body cut at 4.0 s body stays open
server.timeout(req, 0), complete Bun.file response closed at 4.0 s closed at 4.0 s
WebSocket request that fetch answers, first request of the connection closed at 12.0 s closed at 4.0 s
the same with idleTimeout 0 or 60 and a streamed Response that stays open closed at 12.0 s open at 17 s
connect, send nothing (idleTimeout 1 or 0) closed at 12.0 s closed at 12.0 s
pending request, no call closed at 4.0 s closed at 4.0 s
node:http, 7 keep-alive and setTimeout cases same same
HTTP/2: (req, 0) or (req, 60), complete response closed at 4.0 s closed at 4.0 s

With #45788, main leaves the kept connection of the complete Bun.file row open too, as in the rows above it.

The hand-back

Not changed

  • The window before the first request of a connection. It stays the compiled-in 10 s. node:http: apply the server's idleTimeout at accept so headersTimeout > ~13s is honored #35672 proposed to change it and was closed as stale.
  • Every pending window. A request whose handler has not answered keeps its timer as on main. A WebSocket upgrade request that fetch has not answered has no idle timer, on main and on this PR.
  • node:http. It runs with idleTimeout: 0 and owns its timeouts with JS socket timers.
  • Pipelining. One socket has one timer. A request head that arrives while the response before it still drains puts the connection under idleTimeout again, on main and on this PR. With server.timeout(req, 0) on a 32 MiB response, a second request pipelined behind it and a client that stalls 9 s, both builds cut the first response. Without the second request both deliver it.
  • HTTP/2 stream start and retire. A stream still takes the server's value as an explicit budget (uws_h2_res_start_timeout), because retireStream() only recomputes for a stream that has one.
  • HTTP/3 and unix-socket servers. They ignore server.timeout(), as before. Bun.serve: server.timeout(request, seconds) is inert on a unix-socket listener — the same code works on a TCP listener #43816 reports the unix-socket case.

Tests

  • runSocketTimeoutSweepSoon() makes the 4 s sweep of the calling thread's loop run in its next iteration. On epoll and kqueue it moves the sweep deadline to now. On libuv it restarts the sweep timer with 1 ms. The sweep then runs where it always runs.
  • The tests wait for no wall-clock time and set no timeouts. A second idleTimeout: 1 server is the clock: the forced sweep closes its kept connection, and one sweep serves every server of the process. The tests are serial, because a forced sweep moves every connection of the process one tick closer to its timeout. They rely on one fact of the timer: an idle idleTimeout: 1 connection closes at the next sweep. Bun.serve: idleTimeout 1-4 resets a fresh request almost at once while other sockets are open #46211 is about that rounding, and a change there changes how many sweeps the tests need.
  • serve.test.ts, 11 tests. On a release build they take 0.8 s together, the slowest 0.17 s. On a debug ASAN build they take 8.6 s together, the slowest 2.2 s. The legs cover a string body, HEAD, 304, a stream, an async handler, a route handler, an upgrade request that fetch answers, a 4 MiB Blob, Bun.file, an unfinished upload and TLS. One test holds a WebSocket request that fetch answers with a stream under idleTimeout: 0: three sweeps pass and the stream must still deliver.
  • serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts, 1 test: a quiet Bun.file(fifo) body under server.timeout(req, 0).
  • serve-syscall-fault.test.ts, 2 tests (builds with socket fault injection). In the first, no send moves a byte, the response ends in the cork buffer, one sweep runs, then the sends work again. The client must get the whole response. It fails without the sendCorked() line. In the second, server.timeout(req, 60) comes before server.upgrade(req) and only the first send moves bytes. The client must get the 101 and the first frame. It fails when the 101 leaves in a send of its own.
  • Fail-before: main does not have the hook, so the test files do not load there. On main (5900354) plus only the hook, 11 of the 14 tests fail by assertion. The 3 that pass are guards: the pending-window test, the cork test and the upgrade test.

Self-review

25 concerns, 18 addressed. The first review raised 19 and I addressed 17. The main ones:

  • A test could lose a race with the idle sweep. It now sends both requests in one write.
  • The flag bit and the field name (see The hand-back).
  • The HTTP/2 test left a FIFO body open when its fixture exited. The leak check then aborts the fixture.
  • Some waits took two sweeps where one is enough.
  • The tests did not reach every markDone() caller. The first test now has a leg for each kind of response end.
  • The docs and the JSDoc did not say what idleTimeout does to a kept connection.

The two not done:

  • No test holds only TLS ciphertext back (the TLS half of hasFullyDrained()). A close that finds such bytes waits for them (us_internal_ssl_close). So that half changes when the kept connection closes, not what the client receives.
  • No test reads a kernel-held tail after the idle close. The state depends on how far the kernel grew its socket buffers, and a test cannot force it.

A second review looked only at the last commit (the hand-back arms). It read every markDone() caller, the work that now runs inside markDone(), the node:http paths and the restored order in internalEnd. It found no case that the change breaks. It raised 6 small points and I addressed 1, a comment that read as if an end path no longer had to arm. The 5 not done:

  • No test reaches finishResponseInCorkBuffer with an override. Only node:http uses that path, and node:http sets no override. The arm there is defensive.
  • With an override on a node:http response (no public API sets one), pause() can turn off the timer of a response that still drains, and an early return in onWritable can skip the hand-back on a socket that node:http destroys next.
  • The hand-back can lag a drain by one loop iteration when sendCorked() writes short and the uncork that follows flushes the rest. The next writable event ends the override.
  • On main, onWritable arms the timer once more after it closed the socket. The store is harmless.

After review (commits 2 to 10)

  • The tests waited for real 4 s sweeps and set timeouts of 30 and 40 s. They now use the test hook, wait for no wall time and set no timeouts.
  • The cork buffer case above. Found by review and by an external check with a small client window.
  • The extra send behind server.timeout(req, N) plus server.upgrade(req) that the cork fix brought. Found by an external check that counts the send calls. The third commit removes it.
  • The two fault tests waited for loop turns. They now wait for conditions.
  • Merged main at 5900354. WebSocket: real closing handshake, one failure path, ws rewritten on native transports (consolidates the open WebSocket PRs) #45223 removed endUpgradeHandshake(), so the line that drops the override moved to adoptWebSocket().
  • The file stream has the same lines as Bun.serve: apply server.timeout(req, n) to a Bun.file response body #45788 now. It arms the timer once at its start and makes no timer call per chunk. uWS arms the timer in write(), in tryEnd() and after onWritable, so the per-chunk calls that the earlier commits kept did nothing more. StaticRoute::on_writable lost its call for the same reason.
  • A new test for the WebSocket request that fetch answers (see Every changed case).
  • Merged main again at 17ae534. The three conflicts were textual: a new flag on the line of this PR's flag, a new test-only host function beside the hook, and an import line. Every added and removed line of this PR stayed as it was.
  • Merged main a third time at da867c6. Main now declares its testing APIs with bindgen and passes the loop as &Loop. The test hook follows: a bindgen function in socket_body.bind.ts that calls a new Loop::sweep_soon(). The C side of the hook and the product code of this PR did not change.
  • Merged main a fourth time at b1007f1. The conflicts were in the same places, and the extern of the hook follows main's stricter unsafe style.
  • The hand-back arms the server's value itself (last commit, see The hand-back). A review found an end path on main that armed before markDone().
  • Not changed: the override does not stay while a request body is incomplete. A client could then hold a server.timeout(req, 0) connection open forever with an upload that it never finishes. After the response, idleTimeout bounds the rest of the upload, as it does on a server that makes no call.
  • Not changed: the compiled-in 10 s before the first request of a connection, also with idleTimeout: 0 (node:http: apply the server's idleTimeout at accept so headersTimeout > ~13s is honored #35672).
  • Open: the decision at the top of these notes.

Measurements (release builds of main at b1007f1 and of this PR at 2955e4d, Linux x64)

  • Executed instructions of one call, in the function's own frame (gdb nexti), on a server that never calls server.timeout():
    • HttpResponse::internalEnd, Content-Length response: 218 -> 223. The 5 are the hand-back check where markDone() clears the pending bit, with one never-taken branch. With callees: 680 -> 685.
    • AnyResponse::end_without_body (a 304): 53 -> 57. AnyResponse::end_send_file (a 2 MiB file): 41 -> 45.
    • HttpContext::onWritable: 62 -> 66 per writable event, +1 never-taken branch.
    • Request head (the parser callback in onData): 102 -> 105.
    • Route start (prepare_js_request_context): 274 -> 273.
    • One WebSocket upgrade with no server.timeout() call: HttpResponse::upgrade 185 -> 185, adoptWebSocket 180 -> 182.
    • One fetch request: +7 instructions net.
  • Release binary: .text +4,224 bytes (110,627,497 -> 110,631,721) and .bun_builtins +69 bytes (llvm-size). No other section changes. The largest: internalEnd<false> +225 bytes, AnyResponse::end_send_file +141, onWritable<false> +123, AnyResponse::end_without_body +121, prepare_js_request_context +74, adoptWebSocket<false> +16. AnyResponse::start_timeout is new, 308 bytes. The test hook is one bindgen function of 126 bytes.
  • Stores to us_socket_t::timeout per request, counted with a hardware watchpoint on the byte over 20 requests of one connection: fetch 3 -> 3, static route 4 -> 4, node:http 5 -> 5, Bun.file of 2 MiB (sendfile) 4 -> 4, Bun.file of 64 KiB 5 -> 4.
  • Measured at 109b8c0 against main at 5900354, on lines that did not change since:
    • Stores to the per-socket idle byte per request: fetch, static route and node:http 1 -> 1. Bun.file of 64 KiB 3 -> 1, of 2 MiB 2 -> 1.
    • sizeof HttpResponseData 200, HttpContextData 3552, us_socket_t 80 and the loop data 208: unchanged (compiled from both header sets).
  • HTTP/2 recomputeIdleTimeout per stream, measured on the first commit: fetch 2 -> 2, static route 2 -> 2, Bun.file body of 1 MiB 10 -> 2. The file stream makes no setTimeout() call at this head either.

Suites (debug ASAN build at 2955e4d, Linux x64)

  • The 14 new tests pass.
  • serve.test.ts: 344 pass, 1 skip, 1 fail, not in the new block. It is should use correct error when using a root range port: the container runs as root, and the test fails the same way on a debug build of main there.
  • serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts: 24 pass. serve-syscall-fault.test.ts: 12 pass. bun-serve-file.test.ts: 176 pass, 1 skip, 3 todo.
  • 36 node tests pass: test-http-server-consumed-timeout.js, test-http-set-timeout*.js, test-http-server-timeouts-validation.js, and the test-http-server-headers-timeout-*, test-http-server-request-timeout-*, test-http*-keep-alive-timeout*, test-http*-server-close-idle*, test-http-pipeline* and test-http-server-keep-alive* files.
  • bun run rust:check-all x86_64-pc-windows-msvc: ok. It compiles the Windows half of Loop::sweep_soon().
  • On the first commit: serve-http2.test.ts 93 pass, serve-http2-protocol.test.ts 201 pass, bun-server.test.ts 80 pass, bun-serve-static.test.ts 46 pass, bun-serve-routes.test.ts 61 pass.
  • Windows x64, Windows arm64, macOS arm64 and macOS x64, release builds at 109b8c0: the three test files have no failure. serve.test.ts is 335 pass, 7 skip on Windows, where the test hook restarts the libuv timer. The two fault tests run only on ASAN and debug builds.

no test proof · iteration 5 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/bun/http/serve.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/serve-syscall-fault.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts

On HTTP/1 one per-socket byte held both the server's idleTimeout and the
value of server.timeout(req, N). Nothing restored the server's value when
the response completed, so the value of a finished request ruled the kept
connection: server.timeout(req, 0) left a connection the server never
closed, and any other N replaced idleTimeout until the next request.

The server's value now lives on the uWS HTTP context
(HttpContextData::idleTimeout, set once at listen). Every response starts
under it: resetResponseState() copies it into the per-socket byte, now
named idleTimeoutInForce. HttpResponse::setTimeout() is the override
only. It tags the response (HTTP_TIMEOUT_OVERRIDDEN) and uWS goes back to
the context's value when that response is complete and the socket has
drained (markDone, or onWritable for a response that ended under
backpressure).

The routes no longer carry the value. They arm the timer
(reset_timeout / start_timeout), so FileResponseStream no longer writes
the server's value over an override while a Bun.file body is in flight,
on HTTP/1 and on HTTP/2.

The docs and the bun-types JSDoc now say that idleTimeout also bounds an
idle keep-alive connection, and that server.timeout() lasts until the
response to its request is complete.

Status

Reproduced on main (bbdc5a5, release build, Linux x64) with a raw keep-alive client:

  • Server: Bun.serve({ idleTimeout: 1, fetch(req, server) { server.timeout(req, 0); return new Response("ok"); } }).
  • The client reads one complete response and then sends nothing. Main still holds the connection after 30 s. A handler that makes no call loses the connection at 4.0 s.
  • With this PR the server closes the connection at 4.0 s.
  • Checked again on release builds of main at 5900354 and of this PR at 109b8c0. Main still holds the connection (13 s window). This PR closes it at 4.0 s.

This PR is #44732. One decision is open for a maintainer: the first bullet under Downsides.

The head is 2955e4d: a merge with main at b1007f1, and one change to the fix. The step that ends an override now arms the server's idle timeout itself, so a response end path cannot get the order wrong. The 14 new tests pass on a debug ASAN build of this head. CI passed at 109b8c0 on every lane, Windows and macOS included.

Walkthrough

The server idle timeout now governs idle keep-alive connections between requests. Request-specific timeouts apply while responses are pending and return to the idle timeout after completion and output drain. Tests cover HTTP, TLS, HTTP/2, streaming, backpressure, and timeout sweeps.

Changes

HTTP Timeout Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure the server idle timeout
docs/runtime/http/server.mdx, packages/bun-types/serve.d.ts, packages/bun-uws/src/App.h, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContextData.h, src/uws_sys/App.rs, src/uws_sys/libuwsockets.cpp, src/runtime/server/mod.rs
The app APIs and HTTP context now accept and store the server idle timeout. Server setup applies the configured value. Documentation describes how it governs idle keep-alive connections and how it relates to request-specific timeouts.
Track response timeout overrides
packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h, packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponseData.h, src/jsc/bindings/node/JSNodeHTTPServerSocket.cpp
Response state stores the timeout in force and tracks request-specific overrides. The override ends after the response completes and output drains.
Start timeouts across response paths
src/runtime/server/server_body.rs, src/uws_sys/Response.rs, src/uws_sys/h2.rs, src/uws_sys/libuwsockets_h2.cpp, src/runtime/server/{DirectoryRoute,FileRoute,FileResponseStream,RequestContext,StaticRoute,mod}.rs
Response timeout operations now start or reset the timeout in force across HTTP versions, request setup, routes, and file streams. These paths no longer pass the server idle timeout as a per-response timeout.
Test timeout lifecycle and streaming
packages/bun-usockets/src/{eventing/libuv.c,internal/internal.h,loop.c}, src/js/internal-for-testing.ts, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs, src/runtime/socket/socket_body.bind.ts, src/uws_sys/Loop.rs, test/js/bun/http/{serve.test.ts,serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts,serve-syscall-fault.test.ts}
A testing API schedules socket timeout sweeps. Tests cover request-specific timeout behavior, keep-alive expiry, streams, FIFO responses, backpressure, and syscall faults.

Possibly related issues

  • oven-sh/bun#43816 — The PR changes how request-specific timeout overrides apply and are restored. The summaries do not establish whether the Unix-socket listener path is covered.
  • oven-sh/bun#46211 — The PR changes timeout handling and adds a sweep test hook, but does not change the reported sweep-deadline rounding.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2955e

A slow client using pipelined requests could receive an incomplete response. The risk is narrow, but the intended timeout behavior should be confirmed before merging.

Explanation

The title "Bun.serve: end a server.timeout(req, N) override with its response" matches the main change: the per-request timeout override now ends when its response is complete and drained, and the server idleTimeout is restored. It names the API and the behavior, and it does not cover the broader changes (uWS state, file-body timer handling, test hook), which is expected for a title. It is 66 characters, so it fits the short single-sentence guideline.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template with both required sections present: "What does this PR do?" is covered by the Problem, Fix, Background, Downsides, and Notes sections, and "How did you verify your code works?" is covered by the Verified, Tests, Suites, and Measurements material. It describes the behavior change, the test hook, the test counts, and the fail-before evidence. It is very long, and the decision needed from maintainers appears in Downsides. The description also states that three platform-specific test files were not proven locally and defer to CI. These points are substantive and do not make the description vague or off-topic.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the new HttpContextData::idleTimeout copy goes stale on server.reload() — it does not, since clone_for_reloading_static_routes in src/runtime/server/ServerConfig.rs carries idle_timeout over unchanged, so reload never updated it on the base branch either. The node:http pipelined path (startPipelinedResponseImpl) and the H2 uws_h2_res_start_timeout both read the same context value the Rust side sets after filter(), so the three readers agree.

Extended reasoning...

The change moves the server idle timeout into the uWS HttpContext, adds an HTTP_TIMEOUT_OVERRIDDEN state bit and a drain-gated hand-back in markDone/onWritable, reorders resetTimeout after markDone in tryEnd, and replaces the per-route explicit timeout value with reset_timeout across HTTP/1, H2 and the file stream. It touches no auth or crypto surface, but it is a connection-lifecycle change in native code with behavioral differences for idleTimeout: 0 servers that the author flags as needing a maintainer decision; the inline findings already cover that, so this note only records the reload and H2/node:http paths that were examined and found consistent.

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

🔴 Servers configured with idleTimeout: 0 that bound kept connections via server.timeout(req, N) lose that bound: idle keep-alive connections are never closed, so descriptors accumulate until new clients are refused. After the response, endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() at packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:77 overwrites idleTimeoutInForce with HttpContextData::idleTimeout, which is 0, and resetTimeout() then arms 0 (never). This follows from the stated purpose, and the author flags it as needing a maintainer decision. Fix: keep a nonzero override in force when the server's idleTimeout is 0 (or when it is 0 arm the override instead of 0), while still ending a timeout(req, 0) override so #16703-style connections are reaped; otherwise document it as breaking. [also at: packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:80 - Servers configured with idleTimeout: 0 that call server.timeout(req, N) as their keep-alive reaper now never close idle kept connections, so descriptors accumulate until the process starves. endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() at packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:77 unconditionally restores idleTimeoutInForce to the context's idleTimeout once the response drains, so a 0 server value replaces the nonzero override and the socket is never swept again.]

Why this was flagged

A server created with Bun.serve({ idleTimeout: 0, fetch(req, server) { server.timeout(req, 1800); return new Response("ok"); } }) over HTTP/1 with keep-alive clients. On the base branch, RequestContext::set_timeout (src/runtime/server/RequestContext.rs:4467) wrote 255 into the per-socket byte and that byte stayed on the socket, so uWS closed the kept connection about 256 s after the response. After this change, markDone() (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponseData.h:62) calls endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained(), which at HttpResponse.h:76-77 clears HTTP_TIMEOUT_OVERRIDDEN and sets idleTimeoutInForce to HttpContextData::idleTimeout, set from config.idle_timeout at src/runtime/server/mod.rs:3107, which is 0. The following resetTimeout() (HttpResponse.h:390) arms Super::timeout(0), so uWS never times the kept connection out. With many clients that hold connections open, the process reaches its descriptor limit and new connections get no answer, the same starvation the PR fixes for the timeout(req, 0) case.

Verification: Acknowledged in diff under "Downsides / Needs a maintainer's decision". tryEnd calls markDone() (HttpResponseData.h:62), and HttpResponse.h:77 overwrites idleTimeoutInForce with the context value 0, then this->resetTimeout() (HttpResponse.h:392) calls Super::timeout(0). us_socket_timeout(s, 0) sets s->timeout = 255, i.e. the timer never fires (packages/bun-usockets/src/socket.c:100-106). The kept connection is never closed.

This is the open decision of the PR: the first bullet under Downsides, and "The decision" in Notes. I made no code change here. It needs a maintainer's answer, because each choice has a loser:

  • As pushed: a server with idleTimeout: 0 that uses a nonzero server.timeout(req, N) as the reaper of its kept connections loses that reaper. idleTimeout: min(N, 255) gives the same close time on main and on this PR.
  • With the carve-out (keep a nonzero override when the server's value is 0): a server with idleTimeout: 0 that sets a short server.timeout(req, N) on one route still has that N close its kept connections. That is the reported bug in one configuration, and HTTP/1 then differs from HTTP/2, which never kept the override.

If the answer is to keep main's behaviour for that case, the change is three lines in endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() and two test legs. I leave this thread open for that answer.

…thout waits

A response that ended while its last bytes were in the cork buffer gave
the server's idleTimeout back before the uncork. When the socket did not
take those bytes, the tail waited under idleTimeout and not under the
server.timeout(req, N) of its request. endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() now
sends the corked bytes first (sendCorked), so such a tail is backpressure
and keeps the override until onWritable drains it.

bun:internal-for-testing gets runSocketTimeoutSweepSoon(). It makes the
4 s usockets timeout sweep of the calling thread's loop run in its next
iteration. The new tests use it: they wait for no wall-clock time and set
no timeouts. They are serial, because a forced sweep moves every
connection of the process one tick closer to its timeout.

The HTTP/2 test runs its server in the test process. The first HTTP/1
test has fewer legs, and TLS has a test of its own.

endUpgradeHandshake() marks the 101 done, and the hand-back of a
server.timeout(req, N) override in markDone() sends the cork. The 101
then left in a send of its own, and the first frames that open() writes
needed a second one. The socket leaves HTTP at that point and the
WebSocket arms its own timeout, so the override is dropped there and
nothing is handed back. The 101 and the first frame share one send again.

#45788 carries the file-body part of this PR on its own: FileResponseStream stops storing idleTimeout over server.timeout(req, n). That part needs no decision on the lifetime of the override.

If #45788 lands first, this PR needs a rebase:

  • Drop the FileResponseStream.rs hunks, the three idle_timeout initializers and the StaticRoute::on_writable hunk. Bun.serve: apply server.timeout(req, n) to a Bun.file response body #45788 deletes the per-chunk and per-writable timer calls. This PR swaps them to reset_timeout().
  • The row "server.timeout(req, 0), complete Bun.file response: closed at 4.0 s" is then "open" on main, like every other body kind.

The kept connection after a server.timeout(req, 0) response and the WebSocket-handshake entry stay with this PR. #45788 lists both under Downsides.

…er-timeout-ends-with-response

# Conflicts:
#	packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h
…ebSocket-handshake entry

FileResponseStream and StaticRoute::on_writable armed the idle timer
before each write. uWS arms it in write(), in tryEnd() and at the end of
onWritable, so those three calls go. The file stream still arms once at
its start, where the timer can be off.

A GET with WebSocket handshake headers that fetch answers with a
Response reaches fetch through an entry that stores no idleTimeout. The
response ran under the 10 s of a new connection. Since the request head
now starts every response under the server's value, it follows
idleTimeout. A test holds that for idleTimeout 0.

An update to the comment above. As of 109b8c0 this PR has the same file-stream lines as #45788:

  • FileResponseStream.rs is the same file in both. It arms the timer once at its start and makes no timer call per chunk.
  • StaticRoute::on_writable has no timer call in either.
  • A trial merge of the two conflicts in one doc line of src/uws_sys/Response.rs and nowhere else. The two can land in either order.

The WebSocket-handshake entry has a test here now. With idleTimeout 0 or 60, main (5900354) closes a handshake GET that fetch answers with a stream at 12.0 s. This PR leaves it open.

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

  • 🟣 src/runtime/server/server_body.rs — pre-existing: a WebSocket upgrade request that the fetch handler does not answer quickly has no idle timer at all, so a silent or half-open client is never reaped. The fetch-fallback upgrade entry at src/runtime/server/server_body.rs:3063-3067 skips the arm that every other request start now does with start_timeout() / reset_timeout() (server_body.rs:2746, mod.rs:796), while uWS has already disarmed the socket at the request head (HttpContext.h:480). Fix: arm the server idle timeout at this request start too (call resp.reset_timeout() beside on_pending_request()), so this site matches the class the diff just unified; the user-route upgrade path (server_body.rs:2973) already goes through prepare_js_request_context and needs nothing.

    Why this was flagged

    Trigger: a client sends GET / HTTP/1.1 with Connection: Upgrade / Upgrade: websocket to a Bun.serve server that has a websocket handler and a fetch handler, and the handler awaits before answering. HttpContext::onData calls us_socket_timeout(s, 0) at packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h:480, routes to the ws("/*") handler, which lands in on_web_socket_upgrade (id == 0) at src/runtime/server/server_body.rs:3025. That path does send_corked(), send_when_complete(), on_pending_request() and set_yield(false) (server_body.rs:3063-3067) but never arms the timer. A regular request goes through mod.rs:796 reset_timeout() or server_body.rs:2746 start_timeout() and is closed by HttpContext::onTimeout after idleTimeout seconds; the upgrade request with a hung handler is never closed. The base branch has the same gap, so this is pre-existing; the diff makes it the one request-start site not covered by the new start_timeout() contract.

    Verification: pre-existing; acknowledged in diff: the new comment at src/runtime/server/FileResponseStream.rs:189 states "the WebSocket-upgrade fetch entry never arms it", and the base branch has the identical gap. packages/bun-uws/src/HttpContext.h:480 disarms the socket timer at every parsed request head; on_web_socket_upgrade at src/runtime/server/server_body.rs:3043-3067 omits the RespLike::start_timeout(resp) that prepare_js_request_context does at server_body.rs:2746.

About the additional finding (a WebSocket upgrade request that fetch has not answered has no idle timer): this PR leaves that as it is, on purpose.

  • It is the same on main. The description lists it under "Not changed". This PR changes what happens after a response is complete. It leaves every pending window as it is.
  • An arm at that entry changes behaviour for existing servers. Today a fetch handler can wait longer than idleTimeout (10 s by default) before it calls server.upgrade(req), and the upgrade succeeds. I checked it at this head with idleTimeout: 1 and a handler that waits 9 s. With the arm, Bun closes that connection before the upgrade.
  • That needs a maintainer's decision of its own. If the answer is yes, the change is one reset_timeout() call beside on_pending_request() in on_web_socket_upgrade, plus a test, in a separate PR.

…er-timeout-ends-with-response

The test hook follows main's new shape for testing APIs: a bindgen
function in socket_body.bind.ts and a Loop::sweep_soon() method.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked whether the sweep() that the Promise.race at test/js/bun/http/serve-http2-lifecycle.test.ts:365 can leave running after the test ends could surface as an "Unhandled error between tests" failure — ruled out: every failure inside sweep() (connect error, session.request throwing on a closed session, stream error) rejects the chained promise that Promise.race already subscribes to, and the idle session's own error handler swallows socket-level errors, so nothing escapes as an unhandled rejection or event.

Extended reasoning...

This run's one new finding is a nit in packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h (finishResponseInCorkBuffer arms the timer before markDone(), the single remaining caller that contradicts the hand-back ordering the PR establishes); the earlier blocking thread at HttpResponse.h:77 about idleTimeout: 0 servers losing their server.timeout(req, N) reaper is still open and is a maintainer decision the author explicitly requested. The latest push is a merge from main with no change to the fix itself, so no approval is warranted; the ruled-out note covers the only new candidate examined this run.

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

  • 🟡 packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h — nit: one response-end path still arms the idle timer before markDone(), so a timeout override set on that connection is armed one last time instead of the server value. finishResponseInCorkBuffer at packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:393 calls resetTimeout() and only then markDone() at :394, the reverse of the order every other end path now uses. Fix: arm after markDone() on every end path, i.e. swap the two calls here so the hand-back in endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() is what gets armed, matching tryEnd and uws_res_end_sendfile. Today only the node:http whole-response fast path (NodeHTTP.cpp:845) reaches this function, and node:http runs with idleTimeout 0, so the effect is latent.

    Why this was flagged

    The PR's hand-back relies on the invariant written at packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponseData.h:61: "Every caller arms the timer after markDone(), so it arms the value this leaves." finishResponseInCorkBuffer (packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:389-398) breaks it: it calls this->resetTimeout() at :393 while idleTimeoutInForce still holds the override, then markDone() at :394 ends the override, and nothing re-arms afterwards. On a socket where HttpResponse::setTimeout had set HTTP_TIMEOUT_OVERRIDDEN, the kept connection stays on the override value (0 = never, or N) until the next request or writable event, which is the behaviour this PR removes elsewhere. The only caller today is NodeHTTPServer__finishWholeResponse (src/jsc/bindings/NodeHTTP.cpp:843-847); node:http creates its server with idleTimeout: 0 (src/js/node/_http_server.ts:726), so no user-visible failure is reachable now; it is a stale sibling of the ordering fix the PR made in tryEnd (HttpResponse.h:371-374). The base branch had no hand-back, so ordering did not matter there.

    Verification: packages/bun-uws/src/HttpResponse.h:389-398 does this->resetTimeout(); at :393 and only then httpResponseData->markDone(this); at :394. resetTimeout() arms the override value while HTTP_TIMEOUT_OVERRIDDEN is set; markDone() then clears the bit, but nothing arms the timer afterwards on this path. finishResponseInCorkBuffer has exactly one caller, finishWholeResponse in src/jsc/bindings/NodeHTTP.cpp:845.

endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() left the arm to its caller, so every
response end path had to arm after markDone(). finishResponseInCorkBuffer()
arms before it. The hand-back now arms the value it restores, so the
order in an end path does not matter, and the Content-Length path of
internalEnd() is as on main again.

About the finding on finishResponseInCorkBuffer (it arms the idle timer before markDone()): addressed in 2955e4d, in the hand-back and not in that function.

  • endTimeoutOverrideIfDrained() now arms the server's value when it ends an override. An end path can arm before or after markDone(). A new end path on main cannot get the order wrong.
  • The Content-Length path of internalEnd() is as on main again. The reorder there existed only for the old convention.
  • A connection without an override takes no new branch. One fetch request still costs 7 instructions more than on main (measured again on release builds, numbers in the description).
  • No test reaches that path with an override: only node:http uses finishResponseInCorkBuffer, and node:http sets none.

About the merge-risk note on pipelined requests and a slow client: main does the same. A request head that arrives while the response before it still drains puts the connection under idleTimeout again on both builds. I checked it with server.timeout(req, 0) on a 32 MiB response, a second request pipelined behind it and a client that stalls 9 s. Main (b1007f1) and this PR both cut the first response. Without the second request both deliver it.
