Current rebase validation

Rebased onto upstream main 11c367163a, including AOT. The TLS adapter keeps its typed receiver; its unused host/port parameters are removed. The same shared TLS/HTTP2 adapters remain responsible for SNI selection.

The unpatched Linux x64 main release fails 23 hostname-verification cases. The rebased release (937856bf0f, built with bun run build:release --lto=off) passes both full touched files: 54 hostname-verification tests and 355 connect tests, with one existing skip, one existing todo and zero failures. The 34-case TLS/HTTPS/HTTP2 matrix is included in that coverage. The test host uses main's current Node v26.12.1 pin.

Independent review through P2 and git diff --check pass. No separately compiled AOT application or fresh macOS/Windows execution is claimed.

Earlier implementation and validation

What does this PR do?

Fixes tls.connect({ host: "127.0.0.1", port, servername: null }) sending the IP address as TLS SNI. This can break servers that reject IP literals and clients such as undici that intentionally clear a TLS identity on a cross-origin request or redirect.

The socket and secure-context names were combined with ||, but the fallback guard only handled undefined. A null name therefore reached native TLS without an explicit empty name, allowing the native connection-host fallback to send the IP. The Node TLS adapter now passes an explicit empty native name when no SNI was requested. It preserves pending setServername() state and keeps certificate identity checks bound to the explicit name or connection host. Established client sockets report servername: false when no SNI was sent; the corresponding server behavior is already on main.

Node 24.21.0 sends no SNI for absent, undefined, null, or '' names in direct tls.connect(), even with a DNS connection host. HTTPS agents select a DNS name themselves and preserve an explicit empty string. HTTP/2 selects its DNS authority for falsy names, including an empty string; that default now lives in the HTTP/2 adapter. Both higher-level clients avoid deriving SNI from an IP host. Existing TLS option tests now explicitly request the DNS SNI they assert.

Node 24 still sends an explicit IP servername and emits DEP0123 ("Setting the TLS ServerName to an IP address is not permitted by RFC 6066. This will be ignored in a future version."). Bun's existing explicit-IP rejection is unchanged by this PR.

Supersedes the stale #33476 by robobun; thanks robobun! This adapts the tested downstream port in openclaw/bun#171 to current main. Related: #20727 reports unwanted IP SNI together with a separate fatal-alert hang; this PR addresses the SNI portion and does not claim to resolve that separate hang. #39088 covers the server-side no-SNI property normalization already present on main. #37013 (embedded NUL validation) and #42766 (SQL IP SNI) cover separate paths.

How did you verify your code works?

The new built-ins-only fixture runs unchanged under Node 24.21.0. Its 34 cases cover direct TLS with IP/DNS hosts, raw socket upgrades, explicit secure contexts, HTTPS agents, and HTTP/2. Each checks server-observed SNI, client servername, the checkServerIdentity hostname, and authorization.

Runtime	34-case matrix	Full hostname-verification file
Node 24.21.0	34 pass / 0 fail	—
Unpatched upstream main 47ba1c8d85d (native Linux x64)	11 pass / 23 fail	31 pass / 23 fail
Patched upstream main (native Linux x64)	34 pass / 0 fail	54 pass / 0 fail

The surrounding 43-file TLS/HTTPS/HTTP2 selection initially passed 1,901 tests, with 94 existing skips and 9 existing todos. Its sole failure was an unchanged Node subprocess fixture whose expected result is explicitly from the repository-pinned Node 26.3.0; it had been run with the Node 24.21.0 oracle. Running that fixture directly confirmed the Node-version difference. With Node 26.3.0 on PATH, the affected file passes 353 tests, with one existing skip and one existing todo. No remaining executed-test failures; no skips, timeouts, or assertions were changed.

Supporting downstream proof: the image-generation TLS consumer changed from 1 pass / 2 fail (cross-origin and redirect identity scoping) to 3/3 pass, matching Node 24.21.0. Downstream native Linux x64 and macOS arm64 CI passed all 65 Linux and 66 macOS selected files, plus the separate direct net checks.

Walkthrough

TLS servername selection now uses explicit socket values rather than inferring a name from the host or secure context. HTTPS HTTP/2 connections default the servername to a non-IP host when none is supplied. Shared tests cover servername behavior across transports.

Changes

TLS servername selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
TLS socket servername selection src/js/node/net.ts, src/js/node/tls.ts	onClientHandshake normalizes a falsy servername to false. TLSSocket[buntls] uses its socket servername fields and no longer infers a name from the host or secure context.
HTTP/2 servername default src/js/node/http2.ts	HTTPS HTTP/2 connections use the host as the default servername when it is not an IP address and no servername was supplied.
Cross-transport servername scenarios test/js/node/tls/node-tls-servername-fixture.mjs, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts, test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts	A shared fixture defines and observes servername scenarios across TLS, socket, secure-context, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 transports. Tests compare observations with expected results. Existing connect tests now specify servername: "bun.sh".

A narrow SecureContext workflow can lose SNI, and the new matrix does not fully verify certificate identity; both fixes are localized.

Delegate checkServerIdentity in the shared fixture.

The fixture callback records the hostname but returns undefined, so hostname mismatches are accepted. The matrix then expects authorized: true for the agent1 certificate, which can hide a broken certificate-identity check.

Return tls.checkServerIdentity and keep the connections open with rejectUnauthorized: false. Update the expected authorization result to false.

Suggested fix

-  return { servername: name, clientServername: name, identity: name || host, authorized: true };
+  return { servername: name, clientServername: name, identity: name || host, authorized: false };
...
       ca,
+      rejectUnauthorized: false,
...
-      checkServerIdentity(hostname) {
+      checkServerIdentity(hostname, certificate) {
         identity = hostname;
+        return tls.checkServerIdentity(hostname, certificate);
       },

Preserve SecureContext.servername in the projected TLS options.

createSecureContext({ servername }) stores the name on the wrapper, and tls.connect({ secureContext }) accepts that wrapper. The projection currently discards ctx.servername and passes an empty name to native TLS. The native upgrade reads SNI from the surrounding TLS options, so this input can connect without SNI.

Suggested fix

-  const servername = this.servername || this[kservername] || "";
+  const servername = this.servername || this[kservername] || ctx?.servername || "";

When both direct names and ctx.servername are absent, the final empty string still prevents host-based SNI inference.
