Problem

  • After const s = r.body on a Response r, Bun.serve({ routes: { "/a": r } }) leaves s locked while r.bodyUsed is false. s.getReader() throws ReadableStream is locked. Bun.write(path, r) fails with ERR_BODY_ALREADY_USED. So does a Bun.file() body (1.4.2 read the file).
  • Cause: StaticRoute::from_js and FileRoute::from_js call to_blob_if_possible() to look at the payload. Since Close a body's stream when a consumer takes its payload without reading it #42516 that lift closes and locks the stream, and a route never reads it.

Fix

  • A route shares the payload with the stream. The new ReadableStream::peek_blob returns a Blob over the same store and takes nothing out.
  • A route still lifts a pipe (two readers would compete). FileRoute refuses a file descriptor before any lift.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-static.test.ts (29 new cases, 27 fail on main).
  • Self-reviewed: 7 concerns raised, 6 addressed (notes).

Background

  • Reading .body makes a body Locked: its payload sits behind a native stream. A lift takes the payload out as a Blob and spends the stream.
  • Two Blobs over one store read the same bytes. A file path is opened again for each read.
  • Considered a lift plus a re-point of the cached .body, as clone() does: the stream the program holds stays spent.

Downsides

Notes
  • Two reduced programs from the reports, on this branch and on the released 1.4.3 line:
    • A Response used as a static route after .body was read (string, HEAD, Uint8Array): the stream is locked while bodyUsed is false in 3 of 3 cases on 1.4.3, in 0 of 3 here.
    • const r = new Response(Bun.file(p)), s = r.body, then r as a route and one GET, then five uses (read s, s.tee(), new Response(s).text(), Bun.write(path, r), r.text()): 4 of 5 are refused on 1.4.3, all 5 give the whole file here. The same holds for a string body.
  • peek_blob mirrors to_any_blob source by source. A Blob store and a lazy file store are shared by reference. A fully received network body is copied. A closed unread JS stream is the empty Blob. Anything else is not peeked, and the route lifts or refuses as before.
  • FileRoute decides "a second reader would compete" with store_yields_bytes_once. It does not stat into the store that the program's Bun.file() answers from, so file.size keeps following the file.
  • Question for a maintainer: must a stream that the program took from .body stay the body after the look (this PR)? The other design lifts and then re-points .body (about 15 lines, and it covers every look site), but the stream the program holds stays spent.
  • Open PRs that touch the same lines:
  • Sites that lift without a consume and are not changed here:
  • Self-review concerns: the route froze Bun.file().size through a stat into the shared store (fixed), the fd refusal came after the lift (fixed), a formData() end state and a wider get_content_type were in this PR (removed), the overlapping PRs were not named (named above), the HEAD site was said to be covered by Bun.serve: do not end a body stream that a reader holds, and refuse it on HEAD as on GET #43973 (corrected above). Open: the question above.
  • Suites run on the debug build: bun-serve-static, bun-serve-static-stress-access-body, bun-serve-static-stress-no-body, bun-serve-file, bun-serve-routes, bun-serve-headers, serve-reused-response, serve-file-slice-read-error, bun-server, body, body-clone. Failures seen were 5 s timeouts on the debug build in tests that do not use routes: bun-serve-file.test.ts "pollable Bun.file(path) ... resumes when the client reads", bun-server.test.ts "server.stop() drain promise" (12 concurrent child processes, each passes alone), body.test.ts "string body consumption does not leak".

…nsumed

formData() lifted the payload out of an unread .body stream to find the
body's own Content-Type, and a static or file route did the same to get
the bytes it serves. Since #42516 that lift closes and locks the stream.
When the body was then not consumed (a Content-Type that is not form
data, a Response that stays reusable as a route), the program's stream
was left locked while bodyUsed stayed false, and Bun.write() refused the
Response as already used.

formData() now decides the type before the lift, and a route shares the
payload with the stream instead of taking it.

Reproduced on the released 1.4.3 line with two reduced programs, each run on that build and on this branch:

  1. A Response used as a static route after .body was read (string body, HEAD, Uint8Array body), then s.locked, r.bodyUsed, s.getReader():
    1.4.3   RESULT: in 3 of 3 doors the program's own stream is locked while bodyUsed is false
    branch  RESULT: in 0 of 3 doors the program's own stream is locked while bodyUsed is false
    
  2. const r = new Response(Bun.file(p)), s = r.body, then r as a route and one GET, then five uses (read s, s.tee(), new Response(s).text(), Bun.write(path, r), r.text()):
    1.4.3   file body, static route, one GET: bodyUsed false, s.locked true | read s: throws TypeError | s.tee(): throws TypeError | new Response(s).text(): throws TypeError | Bun.write(path, r): throws TypeError | r.text(): whole
    branch  file body, static route, one GET: bodyUsed false, s.locked false | read s: whole | s.tee(): whole | new Response(s).text(): whole | Bun.write(path, r): whole | r.text(): whole
    
    The string-body line reads the same way.

Test: bun bd test test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-static.test.ts -t "stays the program's" (29 cases, 27 fail with origin/main's src/, all pass on this branch).

This PR is limited to Bun.serve routes since 14f316a. The formData() fix is #44999.

- Remove the formData() reorder, Value::blob_content_type and the
  get_content_type hunks. formData() is as on main.
- FileRoute::from_js refuses a file descriptor from the peeked Blob, before
  any lift. It decides whether a second reader would compete for the file
  with store_yields_bytes_once, which does not stat into the shared store.
- Tests: a fetched Response as a route, a refused Bun.file(fd) route, and
  Bun.file().size after a route over its stream.

Walkthrough

Unread response streams can expose reusable blobs to file and static route construction without consuming the original body. File routes retain a duplicate and initialize from response headers and status. Tests cover route delivery and body preservation across several response types.

Changes

Response body route construction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Peek at stream-backed blobs
src/runtime/webcore/ByteStream.rs, src/runtime/webcore/ByteBlobLoader.rs, src/runtime/webcore/ReadableStream.rs, src/runtime/webcore/Body.rs
Byte streams can copy available bytes without consuming them. Readable streams and pending body values expose blobs for eligible unread streams. File-backed blob conversion uses a shared helper.
Use reusable blobs in routes
src/runtime/server/FileRoute.rs, src/runtime/server/StaticRoute.rs
File and static route construction inspect unread locked response bodies for reusable blobs. File routes retain a duplicate, use response headers and status, and reject file-descriptor blobs.
Verify response route behavior
test/js/bun/http/bun-serve-static.test.ts
Tests cover route delivery and body preservation across response types, buffering retries, file updates, and file-descriptor rejection.

Beyond the inline test note, I also checked the FileRoute::init restructure for behavior drift on the lift path (fd refusal still precedes use_(), and global_this.set now runs on both the peeked and lifted Blob), and whether store_yields_bytes_once writes a stat into the store the program's Bun.file() shares (it caches mode_seen_by_clone separately, so file.size is unaffected). The open design question in the description — whether the stream taken from .body should stay the body after a route looks at it — is a call for a maintainer, so a human look is still worthwhile.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a non-consuming peek path through Body.rs, ReadableStream.rs, ByteBlobLoader.rs and ByteStream.rs and rewires StaticRoute/FileRoute init to share a Response's payload with an already-obtained but unread .body stream instead of lifting it; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. It is not approvable automatically because it changes observable body/stream semantics across four webcore sources, the author explicitly leaves a design question open, one verified finding is being withheld from the posted review, and the only applicable earlier bot thread was self-resolved by the author.

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 also checked the raw loader deref in ReadableStream::peek_blob (same stream-alive lifetime as the existing to_any_blob arm, read-only) and the store sharing (self.store.clone()? in ByteBlobLoader::peek_blob is a balanced RefPtr clone, the loader keeps its store), and confirmed FileRoute::serve now refuses an fd before any lift on both branches. The bounded poll from the earlier round is in place.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces the destructive to_blob_if_possible() lift in StaticRoute and FileRoute with a non-destructive peek_blob over the Blob/File/Bytes/JS stream sources, sharing the underlying store with the program's .body stream; it touches no auth or injection surface. The only finding this round is a test-coverage nit, and the prior nit was addressed by d685979, but the design question the author raised for a maintainer (share versus lift-and-repoint) and the shared-store semantics still warrant a human look.
