The engine enforces RFC 9113 section 8.1.1 on requests only: enforce_content_length returns early on a client, and finish_header_block records a declared content-length only on a server. A node:http2 client therefore ends a response normally when its body is shorter or longer than the content-length it declared: 'end', rstCode 0, no error. Record the content-length of a response too, and compare it with the DATA received when the stream ends, in both directions. A DATA frame that passes the declared length now resets the stream with PROTOCOL_ERROR and is not delivered, for requests as well. The exemptions are nghttp2's: a response to HEAD and a 204 or 304 have no body, a CONNECT response is a tunnel, and a 1xx block does not describe the message. The method of the request comes from the parser through a new Sink::request_method for a stream the client opened, and from the PUSH_PROMISE block for a pushed stream. The parser answers None for a request that the caller closed, and such a response is held to nothing. A response that ends on a HEADERS frame short of its length is counted as an invalid frame and not as a rejected stream, as in node. The two streamError handlers in http2.ts keep the code of a stream that user code closed before the native layer reported the error, as node's onStreamClose does. Without that, the new reset replaces the code of a close() that came first.

**For HTTP/2, RFC 9113 §8.5 follows the same rule:** a proxy sends a 2xx response after successfully establishing the connection. The tunnel runs over that HTTP/2 stream, not the whole connection.

Apply the CONNECT tunnel exemption only to 2xx responses.
Some(RequestMethod::Connect) => None disables content-length validation for every CONNECT response. RFC 9110 §9.3.6 and RFC 9113 §8.5 establish tunnel mode only after a 2xx response. For a non-2xx response, a short body can end normally and excess DATA can be delivered instead of causing PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Do not remove the deadline without bounding the Node.js runner
The 4000 ms timer violates test/AGENTS.md, but the proposed removal is not safe for both supported runtimes. Bun provides a test timeout. Node.js --test defaults to Infinity, so a missing frame can wait indefinitely.
Use a permitted Node.js-specific timeout strategy before removing this deadline. Do not apply the proposed deletion unchanged.

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 the pushed-stream path (the PUSH_PROMISE block's :method is stored on the reserved stream before the pushed response's HEADERS reach the content-length rule, so HEAD/CONNECT exemptions apply there too) and the non-2xx CONNECT reply case (left unenforced, matching nghttp2 and main, so no new reset is introduced there).
Extended reasoning...
The change extends RFC 9113 §8.1.1 content-length enforcement in the Rust HTTP/2 engine from server-side requests to client-side responses, adds a RequestMethod enum and Sink::request_method hook so the engine learns the sent :method, resets streams with PROTOCOL_ERROR on excess DATA, and adjusts the two JS streamError handlers to keep a user-closed stream's rstCode. It touches network-protocol parsing of untrusted peer data and has a deliberate, documented divergence from Node (stream reset vs. session destroy). Three confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the two adjacent paths examined and ruled out.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

🟣
src/js/node/http2.ts— pre-existing: a stream that user code closed with its own code still has that code replaced when the peer's reset is CANCEL, unlike node. The new streamErrorCode rule (src/js/node/http2.ts:3755) is applied in both streamError handlers, but the sibling aborted handlers at src/js/node/http2.ts:5087 and src/js/node/http2.ts:4080 still assign stream.rstCode = constants.NGHTTP2_CANCEL unconditionally. Fix: a native reset of any code, including CANCEL, must leave the code of an already-closed stream alone, e.g. skip the rstCode assignment (and the 'aborted' emit) when stream.closed, which covers the 2 aborted sites.Why this was flagged
Trigger: user code calls req.close(NGHTTP2_INTERNAL_ERROR) (or close() with 0) and, before the deferred rstNextTick writes the local RST_STREAM, the peer's RST_STREAM(CANCEL) for the same stream arrives. The engine dispatches it through on_stream_reset as onAborted (src/runtime/api/bun/h2_frame_parser.rs:4282-4290), which lands in the aborted handler at src/js/node/http2.ts:5087 (client) or src/js/node/http2.ts:4080 (server). That handler sets stream.rstCode = constants.NGHTTP2_CANCEL without checking stream.closed, then emitStreamErrorNT destroys the stream with rstCode 8 and no 'error'. Node's onStreamClose skips closeStream when the stream is already closed, so _destroy sees rstCode 2 and emits ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ERROR (NGHTTP2_INTERNAL_ERROR), or keeps 0 for close(). The PR adds exactly this closed-keeps-its-code rule for every other code via streamErrorCode at src/js/node/http2.ts:3755, but only in the streamError handlers; the base branch already behaved this way for CANCEL, so this is the pre-existing sibling the fix leaves out.
Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: user code calls stream.close(code) with a non-CANCEL code and the peer's RST_STREAM(CANCEL) is read before the deferred rstNextTick runs. The aborted handlers at src/js/node/http2.ts:5087 and 4080 set stream.rstCode = constants.NGHTTP2_CANCEL unconditionally. Result: the user's code is replaced by 8 and the ERR_HTTP2_STREAM_ERROR 'error' event that node emits is dropped.

🟡 (optional) Clients of a server that sends a body past its content-length, or any body on a HEAD, 204 or 304 response, can now hang session.close(); main delivered the bytes and closed. The reset at connection.rs:1743 closes the engine stream, but frames the server already wrote keep arriving. Each later DATA frame gets its own RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED), and trailer HEADERS in a later read re-open the id via on_stream_open, so streamStart at http2.ts:5028 counts a stream that never ends. Fix: after a locally sent RST_STREAM, remember the id and silently discard the peer's in-flight DATA and HEADERS for it, decoding HEADERS for HPACK sync only. The PR cites #42467 and #43534; the new resets reach them from one bad response.
Why this was flagged
A node:http2 client receives a response whose DATA exceeds its content-length, or DATA on a HEAD, 204 or 304 response, from a server that wrote the whole response (body plus trailers) before it read the client's RST_STREAM. connection.rs:1743 resets the stream with PROTOCOL_ERROR and sets State::Closed; replenish_windows at connection.rs:711-716 evicts the entry at the end of the batch. DATA frames still in flight then take connection.rs:1732-1735 and each is answered with RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED). Trailer HEADERS in a later read are a new stream at connection.rs:1083-1106, handle_headers calls sink.on_stream_open at :1160, and http2.ts:5028 increments #connections with no stream object; nothing decrements the count, and session.close() waits until the peer closes the socket. On the base branch the client never resets for content-length: the bytes are delivered and close() completes. The PR text names #42467 and #43534 as owners; on main both needed a local cancel first, and this change lets one non-compliant response reach them with no user action.
Verification: Acknowledged in the PR description. connection.rs:1742-1746 resets the stream and sets State::Closed. Trailer HEADERS in a later read call sink.on_stream_open (connection.rs:1160); streamStart does self.#connections++ (http2.ts:5028) with no stream context, so close() at http2.ts:5823 waits. On the base branch this exchange delivered the excess bytes and closed cleanly.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing, widened: a client with no 'error' listener now gets a truncated response reported as a clean end (rstCode 0) for every wrong-length response the engine resets. The reset reaches emitStreamErrorNT (src/js/node/http2.ts:3778), which only records rstCode when an 'error' listener exists, then pushes null and destroys without an error. Fix: a stream error must leave rstCode set to the reset code and must not synthesize a clean 'end' on every path, with or without a listener (set stream.rstCode = error before the listener check and destroy with the error, as node's _destroy does), covering both the client and server streamError handlers. The PR lists this as a downside.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A node:http2 client without an 'error' listener on the request receives a response with content-length 5 whose DATA frame carries 7 bytes (or a HEADERS+END_STREAM response short of its length). src/runtime/api/bun/h2/connection.rs:1742 (or :1472) resets the stream with PROTOCOL_ERROR and discards the frame, and on_stream_reset dispatches onStreamError, reaching the client streamError handler at src/js/node/http2.ts:5100-5101 which queues emitStreamErrorNT. In emitStreamErrorNT, stream.rstCode is only assigned inside if (stream.listenerCount("error") > 0) (src/js/node/http2.ts:3778-3787); with no listener it then calls stream.resume(), pushToStream(stream, null) and stream.destroy(undefined, undefined), and _destroy sets rstCode = 0 (src/js/node/http2.ts:2643). The consumer sees 'data' for only the frames below the limit (none, when the single frame overflows), then 'end' and 'close' with rstCode 0, indistinguishable from a complete response; on the base branch the same consumer received the full body.
Verification: src/js/node/http2.ts:5100-5101 passes it to emitStreamErrorNT. In emitStreamErrorNT, stream.rstCode = error at :3780 sits inside if (stream.listenerCount("error") > 0) (:3778), so with no listener rstCode stays undefined; :3788-3790 then pushToStream(stream, null) (a clean 'end'), and :3795 calls stream.destroy(undefined, undefined).
#46456) ### What does this PR do? Hardening for how the `node:http` and `node:http2` servers read a request: they now refuse what Node refuses. `Bun.serve` is not changed. #### `node:http` - **A request target with a byte from 0x7f to 0xff, or a control character, is answered with `400`** before any handler runs, and `'clientError'` gets `HPE_INVALID_URL`, as in Node. Bun used to run the handler with `req.url` decoded as UTF-8. No parser option relaxes this, in Node or here. - **DEL (0x7f) in a header or trailer value is answered with `400`** (`HPE_INVALID_HEADER_TOKEN`), as in Node, unless the parser is lenient (`insecureHTTPParser`, `httpValidation`, `--insecure-http-parser`). Bytes from 0x80 stay valid there and reach the handler as latin1. - **Trailers are read with the leniency the parser had.** A server made lenient through `httpValidation` or `--insecure-http-parser` lost its whole trailer section if one value had a control character. #### `node:http2` - **DATA past a request's declared `content-length` is not delivered.** The frame that crosses the length is dropped whole, and the stream is reset with `PROTOCOL_ERROR` at that frame. It used to be delivered, and the stream was reset only at the end of the request. (the request half of #45315) - Two differences from Node: Node also sends `GOAWAY` after the `RST_STREAM`, which ends the other streams of the session. This resets only the one stream, which is what RFC 9113 §8.1.1 asks for. And if the frame arrives split across reads, Node delivers the part that fits the declared length, where this delivers none of that frame. - **A space or tab at an edge of a pseudo-header's value makes the header block malformed**, as in Node: the stream is reset with `PROTOCOL_ERROR` and no user code runs. The field used to be dropped after the check that it is present, so a handler could see a request without a `:path` or a `:method`. Clients refuse it in `:status` and in a `PUSH_PROMISE` too. Without `strictFieldWhitespaceValidation`, `:protocol` may have it, as in Node. - **`:method`, `:scheme`, `:path` and `:authority` take the values nghttp2 takes.** For `http` and `https`, `:path` has to start with `/`, or be `*` with `OPTIONS`. Anything else resets the stream with `PROTOCOL_ERROR` before user code runs, in a request and in a `PUSH_PROMISE`. A `host` that isn't a valid authority is left out. - **A received field whose value has a control byte (0x01 to 0x1f except tab, or 0x7f) is left out**, as in Node, on servers and on clients: in requests, responses, 1xx blocks, trailers and pushes. Tab and bytes from 0x80 are kept. NUL, CR and LF still reset the stream. - **On a client, a response may carry only `:status`, and a `PUSH_PROMISE` may not carry it.** Anything else resets the stream with `PROTOCOL_ERROR`, as in Node. - **A request's `host` has to be non-empty and appear once**, trailers included, as in Node. Otherwise the stream is reset with `PROTOCOL_ERROR`. (#33191 covers this too) - **On a client, `:status` has to be three digits, from 100 up, and not 101**, as in Node. Otherwise the stream is reset. `"2x0"`, `"2000"`, `"+20"` and `"1e2"` used to reach `'response'` or `'headers'` as a number. (from #43498) - **DATA for a closed stream is dropped without an answer**, as in Node and as RFC 9113 §5.1 says, and the connection's flow-control window is still credited. Each such frame used to get its own `RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED)`. A stream ID that was never used still gets one. (from #42467) #### Behavior change A client that sends non-ASCII bytes in the URL without escaping them gets `400` where Bun 1.4.3 answered. Measured on the wire: `curl` and Go's `net/http` do that in the query (`curl 'http://host/a?q=é'`), and Java's `HttpURLConnection`, Perl's `HTTP::Tiny`, Ruby's `Net::HTTP#get` and `http.request({ path: "/é" })` in the path and the query. Node answers all of them with `400` too. Browsers, `fetch`, `undici`, `axios`, `ws`, `wget`, Python's `requests` and `java.net.http` escape these bytes and are not affected. ### How did you verify your code works? - Every byte from 0x00 to 0xff in the path, the query, a header value, a header name and the method, sent by a raw client, on Node v26, 1.4.3, `main` and this branch, on a strict and on a lenient server. - What real clients put on the wire was captured for the clients named above. - `Bun.serve`: 4,856 raw responses are identical on `main` and on this branch. The new checks are behind `if constexpr (IsNodeHttp)`, so its instantiation of the parser doesn't contain them. - New tests in `node-http.test.ts` fail on `main` and on 1.4.3, and pass on a debug + ASAN build of this branch. - `node:http2`: 14 new tests in `h2-conformance.test.ts` (six ways of framing the body, with and without TLS, the compatibility API, and the connection's flow-control window) fail on `main` and on 1.4.3. An exact-length body, a body without `content-length` and a short body behave as before. - `node:http2` header values: 5 fields x 255 bytes x 3 positions, with `strictFieldWhitespaceValidation` on and off, sent by a raw peer. All 3,825 cells of the pseudo-headers and `host` equal Node v26. `main` differs from Node in 2,544 of the sweep's 4,590 cells. Node's own `test-http2-*` files pass (261 of 261), and the `node:http2`, `fetch` HTTP/2 and grpc-js tests give the same results as before. --------- Co-authored-by: autofix-ci[bot] <114827586+autofix-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Dylan Conway <dylan.conway567@gmail.com>
Problem
node:http2client delivers response DATA past the declaredcontent-length. An h2-to-h1 proxy forwards the excess, and the next hop reads it as a second response. A short body ends with'end'andrstCode0. Node fails both (RFC 9113 section 8.1.1).enforce_content_length(src/runtime/api/bun/h2/connection.rs:1709) returns early on a client.Fix

Bun counts only the one found on HEADERS.maxSessionRejectedStreams. Node does not. One test pins that this PR leaves it.content-lengthof a 2xx CONNECT response from the headers and trailers it reports. Bun reports it.session.close()after a reset. When the client has reset a stream, a HEADERS frame that arrives for it in a later read re-opens it. The session then counts a stream that never ends, andsession.close()waits until the peer closes the connection or the caller callsdestroy(). New requests still work. On main this happens for every response that arrives after a local cancel. This PR adds these ways in: DATA past the length of a response, or DATA on a response to HEAD, 204 or 304, and then HEADERS (trailers) in a later read. #43534 fixes the re-open.The guard of #43534 is not in this PR. I built it and measured it. It answers each late frame with RST_STREAM(STREAM_CLOSED), where node and main send nothing: 480 of the 7256 matrix cases. nghttp2 servers count every RST_STREAM against a rate limit. Against a stock node v26.3.0 server behind a 20 ms delay, a client that cancels each request while its response is in transit has its session ended by the server after 354 requests with the guard. Without it the number is 1220. For main it is 1217, and for a node client 1233. A fix for the re-open has to be silent, and it belongs in its own review.
The stream that user code closed.
close()marks the stream closed at once and sends its RST_STREAM later, so the engine still reads the rest of that read. A stream error found there replaced the code of theclose()and raised'error'. Main already does this for a malformed trailer block and for a RST_STREAM from the peer. The content-length reset would be a third case. The twostreamErrorhandlers inhttp2.tsnow do what node'sonStreamClosedoes: a stream that is closed when the native layer reports the error keeps its code. A reset that comes before theclose()still wins, and one test reads from a JSDuplexto pin that order.Budget. A response that ends on a HEADERS frame short of its length is a malformed block. Main charges every malformed block to
maxSessionRejectedStreams(100 by default) and tomaxSessionInvalidFrames. Node charges this one tomaxSessionInvalidFramesonly, so on a client this PR does the same.Measurements.
