Problem

  • fetch(url, { method: "POST", protocol: "http3" }) sends the request twice when its stream ends before the response headers. The origin's handler runs twice and fetch resolves 200.
  • It happens when the origin read the body and then sent RESET_STREAM, sent a lone 103, or closed the connection (server.stop(true)).
  • Cause: ClientSession::retry_or_fail (src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:260) re-sends any request once, whatever the method.

Fix

  • retry_or_fail re-sends a request only when nothing of it was written (!headers_sent), when the origin rejected it with H3_REQUEST_REJECTED, or when its method is idempotent (RFC 9110 section 9.2.2).
  • Any other written POST fails with HTTP3StreamReset, the error this path already reports when no retry is left.
  • Verified: test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts (10 new tests, main fails 4).
  • Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 3 addressed.

Background

  • The fetch HTTP/3 client pools one QUIC connection (ClientSession) per origin. A pooled one can be dead before the client knows it. retry_or_fail then moves the request to a fresh one, once.
  • The client cannot tell a dead connection from an origin that ended the stream after its handler ran.
  • H3_REQUEST_REJECTED (0x10B) is the one reset code that promises no application processing (RFC 9114 section 4.1.1).

Downsides

  • Behaviour change: a written POST or PATCH is no longer re-sent when a pooled connection dies. The caller gets HTTP3StreamReset.
  • Still not re-sent: a POST above the id of a graceful GOAWAY. lsquic does not expose that id.
  • Cost: us_quic_stream_t grows from 32 to 40 bytes. A stream that completes makes no new call.
Notes

No-restart cases. The origin is node:quic in the same process. It reads the whole body, counts the request, and ends the first stream without a final response. Release 1.4.3-canary.1 and main: applied 2 time(s), fetch resolves 200. With this PR a POST is applied once and fetch rejects HTTP3StreamReset. A PUT is still sent again and resolves 200.

the origin ends the first stream with POST before POST after PUT after
RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) 2 applied, 200 1 applied, HTTP3StreamReset 2 applied, 200
RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_REJECTED) 2 applied, 200 2 applied, 200 (the code says not processed) 2 applied, 200
a 103 and then the end of the stream 2 applied, 200 1 applied, HTTP3StreamReset 2 applied, 200
the session destroyed 2 applied, 200 1 applied, HTTP3StreamReset 2 applied, 200

How this was found. An in-flight HTTP/3 fetch() takes 10 s to reject after server.stop(true) when nothing listens on the port any more, and rejects with HTTP3HandshakeFailed. The server does send CONNECTION_CLOSE and the client sees it at once (conn_close status=8). The client then re-sends the request on a fresh session. That handshake goes to the closed UDP port and ends at lsquic's 10 s handshake timeout, so the error belongs to the second connection. HTTP/1.1 does the same single retry for a GET on a reused socket, but the kernel answers the connect with RST, so it fails at once with ConnectionRefused. For an idempotent method this retry is intended and tested (retries on a fresh session when a pooled session is stale (port reuse)). This PR does not change it.

[h3_client] stream_close status=0 delivered=false
[h3_client] retry 127.0.0.1:35495 after HTTP3StreamReset
[h3_client] connect 127.0.0.1:35495 (sync)
[h3_client] conn_close status=8 ''
[h3_client] conn_close status=4 ''        (10 s later)

Behaviour, server stops with the request in the handler, old port dead

request HTTP/1.1 HTTP/3 before HTTP/3 after
GET, pooled connection retry, ConnectionRefused at once retry, HTTP3HandshakeFailed after 10 s same
POST, pooled connection ECONNRESET at once retry (second send), then 10 s HTTP3StreamReset at once
POST, fresh connection ECONNRESET at once retry (second send), then 10 s HTTP3StreamReset at once

Known limit. A POST or PATCH that was written is not re-sent after a graceful GOAWAY with an id below the request's stream id (RFC 9114 section 5.2), although the server did not process it. Main re-sends it today, and the HTTP/2 client re-sends the analogous case (src/http/h2_client/ClientSession.rs). lsquic does not give the GOAWAY id to the application.

H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. The first version of this PR did not re-send a written POST in this case either, and a review comment asked for it. us_quic_on_reset (packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c) now stores lsquic_stream_get_error_code() when the peer sends RESET_STREAM or STOP_SENDING. The client reads it in on_stream_close, only for a stream that closes while a request is still attached to it.

Order of the open PRs in this function. The rule is replay_safe = !headers_sent || peer_rejected || method.is_idempotent(). #40598 has its own plumbing for the peer's reset code and the same H3_REQUEST_REJECTED retry. On rebase it can use Stream::peer_reset_code() from this PR. #41564 (retry budget) gates retries after the first on not_applied || idempotent. It must drop its retries == 0 || escape so that the first retry takes the same gate.

Tests. does not replay a POST|PATCH that was already sent is the server.stop(true) case with a live server on the same port: the handler of the first server sees the request, the second server never does. the origin ended the stream with no final response runs three cases for POST and PUT: RESET_STREAM(H3_INTERNAL_ERROR) and a lone 103 (POST not sent again, PUT sent again once), and RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_REJECTED) (both sent again once). Without the peer_rejected term the last POST case fails. re-sends a GET|POST once when the connection failed before it was sent uses a fake UDP server that answers each Initial with a Version Negotiation packet for a reserved version, so the handshake fails before the request is written. It counts connection IDs: 2 for both methods. With the !headers_sent term removed the POST case counts 1.

Suites run on the debug ASAN build, rebased on main a4f1429: fetch-http3-client (75 tests), serve-http3 (73), fetch-http3-adversarial (27), fetch-http3-cold-post (2), fetch-http3-syscall-fault (7), serve-protocols (20), test/js/node/quic (20). Every suite had a run with 0 failures. Some runs of fetch-http3-client, serve-http3 and fetch-http3-syscall-fault had one to seven 5 s timeouts in tests that start a subprocess. The machine had a load average above 400, the set of tests changed between runs, and each of them passes alone in 3 to 5 s.

Walkthrough

HTTP/3 retry handling now uses peer reset codes to identify rejected requests. The client permits replay after headers were sent when the peer rejected the request or the method is idempotent. Tests cover sent requests, pre-transmission failures, and origin stream termination.

Changes

HTTP/3 retry safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Peer reset code plumbing
packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c, packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.h, src/uws_sys/quic/Stream.rs
QUIC streams store peer reset codes and expose them through the C and Rust APIs. The accessor returns no value when the code cannot be converted to u64.
Retry guard
src/http/h3_client/Stream.rs, src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs, src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs
on_stream_close records whether the peer reset code is H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. retry_or_fail permits replay after headers were sent when the peer rejected the request or the method is idempotent.
Retry behavior tests
test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts
Tests verify that sent POST and PATCH requests are not replayed, pre-transmission GET and POST requests retry once, and POST and PUT are replayed after H3_REQUEST_REJECTED. Tests also cover other origin stream endings.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I checked the second new test for the same cleanup gap — the Bun.udpSocket is immediately followed by try/finally with nothing fallible in between, so it does not share the leak. Also verified the replay_safe boolean polarity in retry_or_fail: !headers_sent || is_idempotent() OR'd into the fail branch as || !replay_safe is the intended fail-closed shape.

Extended reasoning...

The confirmed finding covers server a in the first new test.each block, which is created and exercised (warmup fetch, await received.promise, Bun.serve for b) before any cleanup is armed. I checked whether the second new test (re-sends a %s once when the connection failed before it was sent) shares the same shape: it does not — await Bun.udpSocket(...) is immediately followed by the try block, so server.close() in finally covers every subsequent failure. I also traced the Rust change's boolean: replay_safe = !st.headers_sent || client_ref.method.is_idempotent() combined via || !replay_safe into the existing fail condition correctly gates non-idempotent already-sent requests to self.fail(...), and the ParentRef shared-deref preserves the Stacked-Borrows discipline the surrounding comments document. Nothing further to add beyond the inline comment.

Add a sent GET retry case.

ClientSession::retry_or_fail uses !st.headers_sent || client_ref.method.is_idempotent(). The sent-request fixture currently uses only POST and PATCH, so it does not test the idempotent fallback. Add a written GET case that triggers the same session failure and asserts that the request reaches the replacement server. A regression that rejects already-sent GET requests can otherwise pass this suite.

@coderabbitai the sent GET case is already pinned by the test directly above the new ones, retries on a fresh session when a pooled session is stale (port reuse) (line 641). Its GET /hang is inside server A's handler when A stops, and the test asserts that the request is re-sent and answered by server B. A change that stops the retry of a written idempotent request fails that test, so I did not add a duplicate.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@robobun, thanks for the clarification. The existing port-reuse test covers retry of a written idempotent GET request. A duplicate sent-GET test is not necessary.

Learning: In `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts`, `retries on a fresh session when a pooled session is stale (port reuse)` covers retry of a written idempotent HTTP/3 GET request. The test sends `GET /hang` to server A, stops server A while its handler processes the request, and verifies that server B receives the replay and returns the response.

LGTM — the earlier cleanup concern is addressed (both servers and release are now released in finally covering every await/expect).

What was reviewed: the retry_or_fail gate uses the shared Method::is_idempotent() predicate and keeps the existing h3_retried/is_streaming_body guards, so no path widens; !st.headers_sent preserves the pre-send retry for any method (covered by the VN-packet test). Checked that ParentRef::from(client_ptr) reads only Copy fields (method, flags) and forms no &mut across detach(). The new tests use port: 0, local servers only, test.each matrices, and assert the negative contract (hits never contains b POST).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds an idempotency gate to the HTTP/3 client's single-shot retry path in src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs::retry_or_fail: a request is now only re-sent on a fresh session if either no bytes were written to the stream (!st.headers_sent) or the method is idempotent per RFC 9110 §9.2.2. Four new parameterized tests in test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts cover both directions — POST/PATCH already sent must fail with HTTP3StreamReset and never reach a second server, and GET/POST that never left the client (handshake killed by a Version Negotiation packet listing only a reserved version) still get exactly one retry.

Security risks

The change is a strict tightening: it adds a !replay_safe term to an existing early-return-to-fail condition, so no request that previously failed can now be retried. The predicate reuses the in-tree Method::is_idempotent() (src/http_types/Method.rs:190) rather than a local reimplementation, satisfying REVIEW.md's "one shared predicate" rule for security gates. The fix removes a duplicate-send hazard for non-idempotent requests (double-POST); it introduces no new attack surface, credential handling, or parsing of untrusted input on the Rust side. The UDP fake-server test parses client-originated QUIC Initial bytes but is test-only and bounded.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. The Rust delta is four lines with clear intent, cites the governing spec, and matches the HTTP/1.1 client's behavior the PR description references. I re-read the surrounding retry_or_fail to confirm the Stacked-Borrows shape is preserved: client_ref is a ParentRef (shared deref of a NonNull) reading only Copy fields (flags, method), so no &mut HTTPClient is formed across detach(). The st borrow from stream_mut(stream) is only used before self.fail/detach touch the stream again, same as before.

Other factors

My earlier inline comment about server a leaking on early failure has been addressed: the test now arms try immediately after a is bound, and finally unconditionally calls release.resolve(), a.stop(true), and b?.stop(true). The setImmediate yield carries a comment naming why no observable signal exists (A's lsquic engine is still on the stack), satisfying the harness rule. No CODEOWNERS entry matches src/http/ or the test path. The PR notes known limits (H3_REQUEST_REJECTED, GOAWAY id) and the merge order with two related PRs, which a maintainer should be aware of but which don't affect the correctness of this change on its own.

…quest handler (#42619)

### Problem
- `server.stop()` or `server.stop(true)` from an HTTP/3 request handler,
or from a microtask the handler resolved (the end of a `using server`
scope counts), runs inside `lsquic_engine_process_conns` and enters the
engine again. lsquic forbids that. A debug build aborts:
`lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets(lsquic_engine_t *): Assertion
'!((engine)->pub.enp_flags & ENPUB_PROC)' failed.`
- Release, `stop(true)`: `us_quic_listen_socket_close`
(`packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c:917`) closes the UDP fd before the
running tick packs the CONNECTION_CLOSE. Every peer waits for its idle
timer (10 s to 30 s).
- Release, `stop()` on a connection that already served a request: the
process spins at 100% CPU and the request in the handler never
completes.

### Fix
- One enter/leave pair brackets every engine call that can run callbacks
(`process_conns`, `send_unsent_packets`). While it is held,
`us_quic_socket_context_shutdown` and `us_quic_listen_socket_close` only
record the request. `leave` finishes it: GOAWAY or CONNECTION_CLOSE,
flush, then the fd.
- `us_quic_socket_context_listen` releases a pending fd before it binds
to the same port, so `stop(true)` then `Bun.serve` on that port in one
turn still works. A stop from a timer is unchanged.
- Verified: `test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts` (9 new tests, release
main fails 6, debug main fails 9).
- Self-reviewed: the review asked for the graceful path in the same PR.
Done. Supersedes #34447.

### Background
- lsquic drives every connection from `lsquic_engine_process_conns`.
Request handlers and the microtasks they resolve run inside it.
- `lsquic_conn_abort` only sets a flag. The connection's tick sees it
after the handler returns and packs the CONNECTION_CLOSE. The engine
sends it before `process_conns` returns.
- `ctx->processing` in `quic.c` is set while the engine is on the stack.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Where this comes from.** No user report and no CI incident. #34038
made an abrupt stop send CONNECTION_CLOSE for an idle connection when
the caller is off the stack. A probe of the same stop with a request in
the handler found the cases above.

**Timings, release 1.4.3-canary.1, client and server in one process,
request in the handler**

| call | from a timer | from the handler, before | from the handler,
after |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `stop(true)`, streamed POST | `HTTP3StreamReset` at once |
`HTTP3StreamReset` @10 s (warm connection) or @30 s (cold) | at once |
| `stop(true)`, GET, old port dead | `HTTP3HandshakeFailed` @10 s | @20
s | @10 s |
| `stop()`, cold connection | response arrives | response arrives | same
|
| `stop()`, warm connection | response arrives | 100% CPU, never
completes (stopped after 60 s) | response arrives |

The stall for `stop(true)` is the smaller of the server `idleTimeout`
(30 s when it is 0) and the client's `max_idle_timeout`, and it hits
every connection of the server. A client that re-sends the request adds
its 10 s handshake timeout against the closed port. That retry is by
design for an idempotent request (`fetch-http3-client.test.ts`, `retries
on a fresh session when a pooled session is stale (port reuse)`). After
the fix the client log shows `conn_close status=8` at once.

**Why the `stop(true)` tests use a `ReadableStream` body.** The fetch
client never re-sends a streamed body, so `HTTP3StreamReset` surfaces as
soon as the client sees the connection close. With any other body the
retry hides the difference behind a 10 s handshake timeout.

**Why not keep the fd open in every case.** `stop(true)` promises that
the port is free when it returns, and `server.stop(true); server =
Bun.serve({ port })` is a common restart pattern. A deferred fd still
holds the port, and these sockets do not set `SO_REUSEPORT`. The first
version of this change failed that rebind inside a handler with `Failed
to listen on UDP port N for HTTP/3`. One test pins it. Only in that case
the stopped server's connections go silent, as they did before. A bind
to another port leaves the pending fd alone (one more test).

**Engine calls outside the pair.** `lsquic_engine_cooldown` (makes no
callbacks), `lsquic_engine_packet_in` and `lsquic_engine_connect` (their
callbacks stay in C), and `lsquic_engine_destroy` in
`us_quic_socket_context_free`.

**Excluded, not new.** `server.stop()` followed by `server.stop(true)`:
the first call takes `h3_listener`, so the second never reaches
`us_quic_listen_socket_close` for HTTP/3.

**Relation to #34447.** It wraps the abrupt path's engine calls in `if
(!processing)` and defers the graceful path with its own latch and hook.
It still closes the fd first on `stop(true)` (its test comment says the
client then hangs), and it describes the graceful case as benign on
release. This PR keeps one latch per call and one hook, and ports its
two graceful tests with a warm-connection variant.

**Relation to #42579.** Its new client test stops a server after one
`setImmediate` hop to stay off this path. After this PR the hop is not
needed.

**Suites run on the debug ASAN build:** `serve-http3` (62 pass),
`fetch-http3-client` (56), `serve-protocols` (20),
`fetch-http3-adversarial` (27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2),
`fetch-http3-syscall-fault` (3).

…quest handler (oven-sh#42619)

### Problem
- `server.stop()` or `server.stop(true)` from an HTTP/3 request handler,
or from a microtask the handler resolved (the end of a `using server`
scope counts), runs inside `lsquic_engine_process_conns` and enters the
engine again. lsquic forbids that. A debug build aborts:
`lsquic_engine_send_unsent_packets(lsquic_engine_t *): Assertion
'!((engine)->pub.enp_flags & ENPUB_PROC)' failed.`
- Release, `stop(true)`: `us_quic_listen_socket_close`
(`packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c:917`) closes the UDP fd before the
running tick packs the CONNECTION_CLOSE. Every peer waits for its idle
timer (10 s to 30 s).
- Release, `stop()` on a connection that already served a request: the
process spins at 100% CPU and the request in the handler never
completes.

### Fix
- One enter/leave pair brackets every engine call that can run callbacks
(`process_conns`, `send_unsent_packets`). While it is held,
`us_quic_socket_context_shutdown` and `us_quic_listen_socket_close` only
record the request. `leave` finishes it: GOAWAY or CONNECTION_CLOSE,
flush, then the fd.
- `us_quic_socket_context_listen` releases a pending fd before it binds
to the same port, so `stop(true)` then `Bun.serve` on that port in one
turn still works. A stop from a timer is unchanged.
- Verified: `test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts` (9 new tests, release
main fails 6, debug main fails 9).
- Self-reviewed: the review asked for the graceful path in the same PR.
Done. Supersedes oven-sh#34447.

### Background
- lsquic drives every connection from `lsquic_engine_process_conns`.
Request handlers and the microtasks they resolve run inside it.
- `lsquic_conn_abort` only sets a flag. The connection's tick sees it
after the handler returns and packs the CONNECTION_CLOSE. The engine
sends it before `process_conns` returns.
- `ctx->processing` in `quic.c` is set while the engine is on the stack.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Where this comes from.** No user report and no CI incident. oven-sh#34038
made an abrupt stop send CONNECTION_CLOSE for an idle connection when
the caller is off the stack. A probe of the same stop with a request in
the handler found the cases above.

**Timings, release 1.4.3-canary.1, client and server in one process,
request in the handler**

| call | from a timer | from the handler, before | from the handler,
after |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `stop(true)`, streamed POST | `HTTP3StreamReset` at once |
`HTTP3StreamReset` @10 s (warm connection) or @30 s (cold) | at once |
| `stop(true)`, GET, old port dead | `HTTP3HandshakeFailed` @10 s | @20
s | @10 s |
| `stop()`, cold connection | response arrives | response arrives | same
|
| `stop()`, warm connection | response arrives | 100% CPU, never
completes (stopped after 60 s) | response arrives |

The stall for `stop(true)` is the smaller of the server `idleTimeout`
(30 s when it is 0) and the client's `max_idle_timeout`, and it hits
every connection of the server. A client that re-sends the request adds
its 10 s handshake timeout against the closed port. That retry is by
design for an idempotent request (`fetch-http3-client.test.ts`, `retries
on a fresh session when a pooled session is stale (port reuse)`). After
the fix the client log shows `conn_close status=8` at once.

**Why the `stop(true)` tests use a `ReadableStream` body.** The fetch
client never re-sends a streamed body, so `HTTP3StreamReset` surfaces as
soon as the client sees the connection close. With any other body the
retry hides the difference behind a 10 s handshake timeout.

**Why not keep the fd open in every case.** `stop(true)` promises that
the port is free when it returns, and `server.stop(true); server =
Bun.serve({ port })` is a common restart pattern. A deferred fd still
holds the port, and these sockets do not set `SO_REUSEPORT`. The first
version of this change failed that rebind inside a handler with `Failed
to listen on UDP port N for HTTP/3`. One test pins it. Only in that case
the stopped server's connections go silent, as they did before. A bind
to another port leaves the pending fd alone (one more test).

**Engine calls outside the pair.** `lsquic_engine_cooldown` (makes no
callbacks), `lsquic_engine_packet_in` and `lsquic_engine_connect` (their
callbacks stay in C), and `lsquic_engine_destroy` in
`us_quic_socket_context_free`.

**Excluded, not new.** `server.stop()` followed by `server.stop(true)`:
the first call takes `h3_listener`, so the second never reaches
`us_quic_listen_socket_close` for HTTP/3.

**Relation to oven-sh#34447.** It wraps the abrupt path's engine calls in `if
(!processing)` and defers the graceful path with its own latch and hook.
It still closes the fd first on `stop(true)` (its test comment says the
client then hangs), and it describes the graceful case as benign on
release. This PR keeps one latch per call and one hook, and ports its
two graceful tests with a warm-connection variant.

**Relation to oven-sh#42579.** Its new client test stops a server after one
`setImmediate` hop to stay off this path. After this PR the hop is not
needed.

**Suites run on the debug ASAN build:** `serve-http3` (62 pass),
`fetch-http3-client` (56), `serve-protocols` (20),
`fetch-http3-adversarial` (27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2),

Jarred-Sumner pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 15, 2026
### Problem
- Over HTTP/3, an aborted `fetch()` upload ends with FIN, not
RESET_STREAM. The server takes the truncated body for a complete
request: `await req.text()` resolves `"hello "`. HTTP/1.1 reports an
abort.
- With a declared `content-length`, the server's lsquic answers the
short FIN with CONNECTION_CLOSE (`H3_MESSAGE_ERROR`). The next stream
upload on the pooled session rejects with `TypeError: HTTP3StreamReset
fetching ...` (20 to 26 of 30 rounds).
- Cause: `ClientSession::fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:206`) calls `Stream::abort()`
(`lsquic_stream_close`) before `detach()`. The close queues FIN and sets
`STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`, so the `reset()` in `detach()` sends nothing.

### Fix
- `fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)`, the
teardown behind `detach()`. They no longer close the lsquic stream
first. An unfinished send half ends with
`RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED)`. A finished one closes as before.
`Stream::abort()` is gone.
- `us_quic_stream_reset` always ends with `lsquic_stream_close`.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` shuts only the read half when no
RESET_STREAM is due.
- Correct per RFC 9114 section 4.1.1: RESET_STREAM cancels a request.
The HTTP/2 client sends RST_STREAM(CANCEL) here.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts` (2 new tests,
the released binary fails both) and five other HTTP/3 suites.
Self-reviewed: 10 concerns, 7 addressed (Notes).

### Background
- The fetch HTTP/3 client pools one `ClientSession` (one QUIC
connection) per origin. Each request is a `Stream` bound to one lsquic
stream.
- FIN ends the send half of a QUIC stream: "this is the whole message".
RESET_STREAM aborts it.
- lsquic checks a declared `content-length` when it reads the FIN
(`verify_cl_on_fin`). A mismatch closes the whole connection.
- `fail()` is the client's error path (user abort, malformed response,
decode error). `detach()` tears down every request.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**lsquic calls.** `lsquic_stream_close` runs `stream_shutdown_write`.
That sets `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE` and queues FIN when the headers are out.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` sends RESET_STREAM only when none of
`STREAM_RST_SENT`, `STREAM_FIN_SENT`, `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
`SMQF_SEND_RST` is set. With `do_close`, its other branch runs
`stream_shutdown_read` only. That does not set `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
does not make the connection tickable, and does not call
`maybe_schedule_call_on_close`. So `us_quic_stream_reset` now calls
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset(.., 0)` and then `lsquic_stream_close`. In
the reset branch this equals the old `do_close=1` (`stream_reset` ends
in `lsquic_stream_close`). In the other branch it is a full close.
Neither call runs a stream callback synchronously.

**Shape of the Rust change.** `detach()` is now a wrapper for
`detach_with(stream, false)`. `detach_with` holds the old body of
`detach()`, and its reset condition is `abort || !request_body_done`.
`fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)` where
they called `Stream::abort()` and then `detach()`. One function unbinds,
resets and frees, so no caller can leave an unbound entry in `pending`
(which `on_stream_open` would bind to a new lsquic stream), and lsquic
sees one close per stream.

**Wire, before** (`BUN_DEBUG_lsquic=1`):
```
stream: lsquic_stream_close() called
stream: have to create a separate STREAM frame with FIN flag in it
conn: generated 4-byte STOP_SENDING frame (stream id: 4, error code: 256)
conn: abort error: is_app: 1; error code: 270; error str: number of bytes in DATA frames of stream 4 is 6, while content-length specified of 50
[h3_client] stream_close status=0 delivered=false
[h3_client] conn_close status=8 ''
```
**Wire, after:**
```
stream: reset, error code 268
event: generated RESET_STREAM: stream 4; offset 75; error code 268
event: RX RST_STREAM frame: error code 268, stream 4, offset: 75
```
The next upload runs on the same session.

**Probes by hand (debug ASAN build).**
- A Buffer body aborted while the handler waits. Before (64 MB): the
handler saw `complete 40702` and `complete 103029` (bytes) in 2 of 3
rounds. After (16 MB): `aborted AbortError` in 3 of 3 rounds. String and
Buffer bodies take the same `abort()` path.
- A server that responds without reading the body (Bun.serve sends
STOP_SENDING), with and without an abort during the response: same
result before and after. Each request stream gets its lsquic `on_close`
on both endpoints at once, not at connection teardown.
`fetchH3Internals.liveCounts()` ends at `streams: 0`.
- The original 30-round repro (canary `09bb54630`: 4 to 10 of 30 ok): 30
of 30 ok after the fix.

**Self-review.** The review traced the lsquic calls state by state, the
Rust lifecycle, and the tests. It found no defect. Addressed:
- `abort()` had a contract that only a comment stated (`detach()` must
follow). The fold into `detach_with` removes the contract and the
repeated unbind block.
- Each new comment is one line.
- Test 2 says why the follow-up has a stream body.
- Test 2 asserts that the server saw `content-length: 50`.
- The matcher follows the repo idiom (`rejects.toMatchObject`).

Not changed:
- No test separates the `do_close` change in `us_quic_stream_reset` from
the old call. It matters only when lsquic already reset the send half
(the peer's STOP_SENDING came first), or when FIN is already out. The
difference (prompt `on_close`, connection made tickable) shows in the
lsquic log only, not in public behavior.
- `us_quic_on_reset(how=0)` still closes with `lsquic_stream_close` when
the *peer* resets the stream in the middle of an upload. That is the
same FIN from a different trigger. The peer has abandoned the stream by
then, an lsquic server discards the rest with no `content-length` check,
and no test with Bun.serve as the peer can observe it. The function is
shared with the server role, and #40598 changes it.
- The STOP_SENDING that goes out with the reset still carries
`H3_NO_ERROR`, as before.

**Also not changed.**
- `retry_or_fail` still refuses to re-send a stream body. #42579 and
#41564 change its rules. This PR removes the trigger, not that rule.
- lsquic treats a `content-length` mismatch as a connection error. RFC
9114 section 4.1.2 asks for a stream error, and section 8 lets an
endpoint escalate. A conforming client no longer hits it on abort.

**Related PRs.** #32678 describes the same lsquic guard and fixes only
the malformed-response paths with a new `fail_malformed`. A user abort
still sends FIN there. #40598 is the server-side mirror (a response body
that fails mid-body). Both give `us_quic_stream_reset` an error-code
parameter. The textual conflict with this PR is in that one function.
#42024 is where CI first showed this failure (build 115613). Whichever
of the two lands second should run test 2 again, because it sends a
caller `content-length` with a stream body.

**Tests.** The server route reports how the request body ended and which
`content-length` it saw. The client aborts only after the server has
read the first chunk, so the order is fixed. Test 2 also holds a
response open on the pooled session across the abort and expects its
full body afterwards. Its headers are in, so the client cannot move it
to another session. The test releases it only after the server has seen
the upload end: released sooner, it completes before the server closes
anything, and the check passes on the released binary. On its own this
check fails the released binary 5 of 5 runs (`Received: "first;"`).
Released binary: `"body": "complete"` and `HTTP3StreamReset`, 7 of 7
runs. Debug build: 15 of 15 runs pass. The whole file also passes with
the CI runner's ASAN settings (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`,
`BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1`, `detect_leaks=1`).

**Suites run on the debug ASAN build:** `fetch-http3-client` (58 pass),
`serve-http3` (63), `serve-protocols` (20), `fetch-http3-adversarial`
(27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2), `fetch-http3-syscall-fault` (7).

usrbinkat pushed a commit to usrbinkat/bun that referenced this pull request Sep 15, 2026
### Problem
- Over HTTP/3, an aborted `fetch()` upload ends with FIN, not
RESET_STREAM. The server takes the truncated body for a complete
request: `await req.text()` resolves `"hello "`. HTTP/1.1 reports an
abort.
- With a declared `content-length`, the server's lsquic answers the
short FIN with CONNECTION_CLOSE (`H3_MESSAGE_ERROR`). The next stream
upload on the pooled session rejects with `TypeError: HTTP3StreamReset
fetching ...` (20 to 26 of 30 rounds).
- Cause: `ClientSession::fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:206`) calls `Stream::abort()`
(`lsquic_stream_close`) before `detach()`. The close queues FIN and sets
`STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`, so the `reset()` in `detach()` sends nothing.

### Fix
- `fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)`, the
teardown behind `detach()`. They no longer close the lsquic stream
first. An unfinished send half ends with
`RESET_STREAM(H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED)`. A finished one closes as before.
`Stream::abort()` is gone.
- `us_quic_stream_reset` always ends with `lsquic_stream_close`.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` shuts only the read half when no
RESET_STREAM is due.
- Correct per RFC 9114 section 4.1.1: RESET_STREAM cancels a request.
The HTTP/2 client sends RST_STREAM(CANCEL) here.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts` (2 new tests,
the released binary fails both) and five other HTTP/3 suites.
Self-reviewed: 10 concerns, 7 addressed (Notes).

### Background
- The fetch HTTP/3 client pools one `ClientSession` (one QUIC
connection) per origin. Each request is a `Stream` bound to one lsquic
stream.
- FIN ends the send half of a QUIC stream: "this is the whole message".
RESET_STREAM aborts it.
- lsquic checks a declared `content-length` when it reads the FIN
(`verify_cl_on_fin`). A mismatch closes the whole connection.
- `fail()` is the client's error path (user abort, malformed response,
decode error). `detach()` tears down every request.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**lsquic calls.** `lsquic_stream_close` runs `stream_shutdown_write`.
That sets `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE` and queues FIN when the headers are out.
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset` sends RESET_STREAM only when none of
`STREAM_RST_SENT`, `STREAM_FIN_SENT`, `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
`SMQF_SEND_RST` is set. With `do_close`, its other branch runs
`stream_shutdown_read` only. That does not set `STREAM_U_WRITE_DONE`,
does not make the connection tickable, and does not call
`maybe_schedule_call_on_close`. So `us_quic_stream_reset` now calls
`lsquic_stream_maybe_reset(.., 0)` and then `lsquic_stream_close`. In
the reset branch this equals the old `do_close=1` (`stream_reset` ends
in `lsquic_stream_close`). In the other branch it is a full close.
Neither call runs a stream callback synchronously.

**Shape of the Rust change.** `detach()` is now a wrapper for
`detach_with(stream, false)`. `detach_with` holds the old body of
`detach()`, and its reset condition is `abort || !request_body_done`.
`fail()` and `retry_or_fail()` call `detach_with(stream, true)` where
they called `Stream::abort()` and then `detach()`. One function unbinds,
resets and frees, so no caller can leave an unbound entry in `pending`
(which `on_stream_open` would bind to a new lsquic stream), and lsquic
sees one close per stream.

**Wire, before** (`BUN_DEBUG_lsquic=1`):
```
stream: lsquic_stream_close() called
stream: have to create a separate STREAM frame with FIN flag in it
conn: generated 4-byte STOP_SENDING frame (stream id: 4, error code: 256)
conn: abort error: is_app: 1; error code: 270; error str: number of bytes in DATA frames of stream 4 is 6, while content-length specified of 50
[h3_client] stream_close status=0 delivered=false
[h3_client] conn_close status=8 ''
```
**Wire, after:**
```
stream: reset, error code 268
event: generated RESET_STREAM: stream 4; offset 75; error code 268
event: RX RST_STREAM frame: error code 268, stream 4, offset: 75
```
The next upload runs on the same session.

**Probes by hand (debug ASAN build).**
- A Buffer body aborted while the handler waits. Before (64 MB): the
handler saw `complete 40702` and `complete 103029` (bytes) in 2 of 3
rounds. After (16 MB): `aborted AbortError` in 3 of 3 rounds. String and
Buffer bodies take the same `abort()` path.
- A server that responds without reading the body (Bun.serve sends
STOP_SENDING), with and without an abort during the response: same
result before and after. Each request stream gets its lsquic `on_close`
on both endpoints at once, not at connection teardown.
`fetchH3Internals.liveCounts()` ends at `streams: 0`.
- The original 30-round repro (canary `09bb54630`: 4 to 10 of 30 ok): 30
of 30 ok after the fix.

**Self-review.** The review traced the lsquic calls state by state, the
Rust lifecycle, and the tests. It found no defect. Addressed:
- `abort()` had a contract that only a comment stated (`detach()` must
follow). The fold into `detach_with` removes the contract and the
repeated unbind block.
- Each new comment is one line.
- Test 2 says why the follow-up has a stream body.
- Test 2 asserts that the server saw `content-length: 50`.
- The matcher follows the repo idiom (`rejects.toMatchObject`).

Not changed:
- No test separates the `do_close` change in `us_quic_stream_reset` from
the old call. It matters only when lsquic already reset the send half
(the peer's STOP_SENDING came first), or when FIN is already out. The
difference (prompt `on_close`, connection made tickable) shows in the
lsquic log only, not in public behavior.
- `us_quic_on_reset(how=0)` still closes with `lsquic_stream_close` when

- The STOP_SENDING that goes out with the reset still carries
`H3_NO_ERROR`, as before.

**Also not changed.**
- `retry_or_fail` still refuses to re-send a stream body. oven-sh#42579 and
oven-sh#41564 change its rules. This PR removes the trigger, not that rule.

the CI runner's ASAN settings (`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1`,
`BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1`, `detect_leaks=1`).

`serve-http3` (63), `serve-protocols` (20), `fetch-http3-adversarial`
(27), `fetch-http3-cold-post` (2), `fetch-http3-syscall-fault` (7).

### Problem

- An HTTP/3 `fetch()` whose QUIC connection dies before the response
header can abort the process. ASan: `heap-use-after-free READ of size 8`
in `HTTPClient::fail_from_h2` (`src/http/lib.rs:2108`), from
`ClientSession::retry_or_fail`
(`src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:288`). Release builds panic:
`fetch on the HTTP thread holds a ticket`.
- The retry queues the request on a new session through
`ClientContext::connect`. When no connection opens, connect fails that
session with `PendingConnect::fail_session`, which fails every request
queued on it. That dispatch frees the `AsyncHTTP` the client is part of.
Then the retry fails the same client again.

### Fix

- `connect` takes the request back off the session before it fails that
session. A `false` return leaves the request on no session, so the
caller is its only failure path, which is what the other two callers
assume.
- Correct because the session is one call old: the request `enqueue`
just queued is its only entry, so `detach` leaves `fail_session` nothing
to fail. The teardown, the registry removal and the session's last
reference do not change.
- The retried request keeps the error of the stream that closed.
`start_` still reports `ConnectionRefused` for its own failed connect.
- Verified: `test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts`, one new test
(main aborts with an empty stdout). Also the three other `fetch-http3-*`
suites, `serve-http3` and `serve-protocols`.

### Background

- The h3 fetch client pools one QUIC connection per origin.
`retry_or_fail` re-sends a stream that closed before any response
header, once, on a fresh connection.
- `ClientContext::connect` finds a pooled connection or opens one, and
queues the request. `enqueue` binds a `Stream` to the request before the
QUIC connect, because that stream has to exist when the handshake
completes.
- `HTTPClient::start_` sets
`defer_terminal_dispatch_until_connecting_is_complete` before its own
connect call, so a failure inside that frame is recorded and dispatched
later. That flag is why the two initial connect sites survived the
double failure.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Fail-before.** With `src/` and `packages/` back on `55c11065f2`, the
new test gives `exitCode: 1` and an empty stdout. That run, the passing
run and the suites above were on `55c11065f2` plus this change, built
with LLVM 21. The branch has since merged main, which needs LLVM 23
(#42851). The build environment used here does not have it, so on the
merged tree only `cargo check` and `cargo clippy` for `bun_http` were
run locally, and CI is the test run for it. The three commits that merge
brought in touch none of the files involved. The ASan frames are the
report above:

```
READ of size 8 at 0x... thread T4 (HTTP Client)
  #2 <bun_http::HTTPClient>::fail_from_h2                src/http/lib.rs:2108
  #3 <ClientSession>::retry_or_fail                      src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:288
  #4 h3_client::callbacks::on_conn_close                 src/http/h3_client/callbacks.rs:151
freed by thread T4 (HTTP Client) here:
  #7 <AsyncHTTP>::on_async_http_callback_raw             src/http/AsyncHTTP.rs:783
  #10 <bun_http::HTTPClient>::fail_from_h2               src/http/lib.rs:2122
  #11 <PendingConnect>::fail_session                     src/http/h3_client/PendingConnect.rs:149
  #12 <ClientContext>::connect                           src/http/h3_client/ClientContext.rs:179
  #13 <ClientSession>::retry_or_fail                     src/http/h3_client/ClientSession.rs:287
```

A release build aborts as well, so the fault is not an ASan artifact:
`on_async_http_callback_raw` resets the client's stage before the
dealloc, so the once-only guard in `fail_from_h2` cannot stop the second
dispatch. Making that guard survive the reset is a separate change.

**How the test reaches it.** A connect to a resolved hostname probes
each address with a throwaway UDP `connect(2)`, and gives up when no
entry is reachable (`packages/bun-usockets/src/quic.c`,
`us_quic_connect_result`). An `LD_PRELOAD` shim allows the first probe
and refuses every later one, so the reconnect fails inside `connect`.
`rejectUnauthorized` against the suite's self-signed certificate fails
the handshake, which is what closes the stream before any header and
starts the retry. `localhost` answers from `is_localhost_name` as `[::1,
127.0.0.1]` without the resolver, so no connect waits for DNS, and the
shim refuses the IPv6 entry the way a host without an IPv6 route does,
which pins both connects to the same address. Linux only, and only where
a C compiler exists, like the DPLPMTUD shim test in
`fetch-http3-syscall-fault.test.ts`. 5 runs, 5 passes, about 500 ms each
on the debug ASan build.

**Other ways to reach the same failure.** Any synchronous failure of the
QUIC connect does it: a cached resolver error, an IP literal whose
family the shared client endpoint cannot serve, `lsquic_engine_connect`
returning NULL, or the shared client UDP endpoint dying on a hard
`recvmsg` error and the poll registration for its replacement failing.
The last one needs no resolver, so it reaches this path for an
IP-literal origin too. One test is enough: all of them end in the same
`return false`, and the endpoint-replacement route needs several
iterations of a loop to line up.

**Earlier shape.** The first version of this PR removed the retry's
failure call instead, and documented `connect` as owning the request.
Review pushed back: it left both `if !connect { self.fail(..) }` arms in
`start_` dead, it made the bool unusable by every caller, and it set the
opposite contract from #40385, which removes the same double failure
from the callee side. This version fixes the callee, which also keeps
the closed stream's error in the rejection instead of replacing it with
`ECONNREFUSED`.

**Scope.** `retry_or_fail` is also edited by #41564 (a retry budget) and
#42579 (no replay of a non-idempotent request), and #40598 changes which
pre-header closes retry. None of them touch this branch, so this applies
on top of any of them, and #40385 keeps the same contract.

<!-- robobun:evidence:end -->
The fetch HTTP/3 client retried any request once when its stream closed
before response headers, whatever the method. A POST that the origin had
already received was sent a second time: after a RESET_STREAM from a
handler that failed, after an interim response with no final one, and
after the connection went away.

retry_or_fail now re-sends only when no part of the request was written
to a stream, or when the method is idempotent (RFC 9110 section 9.2.2).
The HTTP/1.1 client already applies the same rule in on_close.

…QUEST_REJECTED

A RESET_STREAM or STOP_SENDING with H3_REQUEST_REJECTED says that the
origin did no application processing (RFC 9114 section 4.1.1), so a
second send is safe for every method. quic.c keeps the code of the
peer's frame, and retry_or_fail takes it as a third reason to re-send.
