Tokio lane C: the node:http / node:https client now runs every request on turnloop, and perry-ext-http no longer depends on reqwest or tokio-rustls.

Edges removed

before (main) after
tokio_inventory.json manifest edges 11 9
tokio-family packages in Cargo.lock 14 7
perry-ext-http tokio-family edges reqwest, tokio, tokio-rustls tokio

perry-ext-http → reqwest and perry-ext-http → tokio-rustls are gone. #11144 had already taken the server off hyper, so reqwest was the last user of hyper, hyper-util, hyper-rustls, h2, tower and tower-http. All seven, reqwest included, leave the lockfile. tokio-rustls itself stays in the lock for other crates. The inventory notes for the remaining perry-ext-http → tokio edge are rewritten (see below).

What moved

client_turnloop.rs was lane 1's path (#11091): bodyless cleartext GET only. It becomes src/client_turnloop/:

file job
mod.rs dispatch, routing to the loop owner, the completion sink, liveness counters
conn.rs one connection's state machine: connect → optional CONNECT tunnel → optional TLS → one HTTP/1.1 exchange at a time
wire.rs request serialization, reason-phrase capture
tls.rs rustls config per option identity + perry_tls_session::TlsSession
pool.rs keep-alive policy and pool key
proxy.rs NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY resolution

Shapes now carried, each previously served by reqwest or by a raw tokio socket:

  • Request bodies. They are buffered at end(), so the length is always known: Content-Length, or chunked when the caller set Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
  • options.timeout / req.setTimeout. A tl::timer_arm deadline over the whole exchange, which is what reqwest's RequestBuilder::timeout was. It fires 'timeout' and tears the exchange down. The creation-time 'timeout' timer (client_outgoing::arm_client_timeout) is a loop deadline too; it used to be a tokio sleep.
  • https:. TlsSession runs above the same turnloop socket handle. The verifier is the one tls_client already built from Node's options: ca, servername (sent as SNI; '' disables it), rejectUnauthorized, checkServerIdentity, PKCS#12 pfx, and NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED / NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS. Configs are memoized per option identity, which keeps rustls session resumption working as reqwest's client cache did.
  • Agent keep-alive with physical reuse. The knobs are the ones client_for_agent fed reqwest's pool (keepAlive, maxFreeSockets, keepAliveMsecs).
    • A connection is parked only after the decoder delivered End, with nothing left in its input buffer, Decoder::reusable() true, and no Connection: close in the request. This is the framing-misattribution rule feat(http): route the node:http client's simplest shape onto turnloop #11091 deferred on.
    • Idle connections are unref'd and expire on an unref'd timer.
    • A reused connection that dies before any response byte is retried once on a fresh connection, as hyper's pool did.
    • Idle connections are closed on the same edges where reqwest dropped the per-agent client: agent.destroy(), facade idle expiry, and the pool setters.
    • agent.rs's observable pool is untouched: sockets / freeSockets / requests, reusedSocket, the maxSockets FIFO.
  • An explicit Host. It is sent verbatim. Lane 1 declined it because client::Request::head rewrites it; this lane serializes its own head (wire.rs) and keeps the codec for decoding only.
  • NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1. Node's precedence: http_proxy || HTTP_PROXY, and so on. An http: target goes in absolute-form through the proxy, an https: target through a CONNECT tunnel. The proxy URL's credentials become Proxy-Authorization.
  • The three raw-TcpStream bypasses. Each keeps its framing (Connection: close; a chunked continue body):
    • TE: trailers uses Event::Trailers, and the response is delivered buffered with its trailers, as before.
    • Expect: 100-continue uses Event::Informational. The head goes out at arm time and end() hands the body over via continue_body. This replaces the tokio oneshot.
    • Connection: Upgrade uses Event::Upgrade. On a 101, tl::transfer + perry_ext_net::adopt_turnloop_upgrade hand the live handle to net, the client-side twin of turnloop_serve's upgrade.
  • Threads. A thread that does not own its agent's loop posts the submission to the owner (perry_ffi::agent_post, as perry-ext-net does). With no loop at all, the request fails with ENOTSUP, the rule lane A adopted.

Deleted: client_dispatch.rs, the reqwest clients and caches in lib.rs / agent.rs / agent/tls_compat.rs, TlsOptions::build_client (now client_config), transport_error::classify_reqwest, and the tokio bodies of plain_client.rs / continue_client.rs / client_upgrade.rs. Those three keep only the predicates and the raw parser the createConnection path shares.

Observable changes, each toward Node

  • res.statusMessage is the server's own reason phrase, captured from the status line the decoder consumed. reqwest and lane 1 substituted the canonical one.
  • Unknown methods are sent as written. reqwest's match sent anything outside its list as GET.
  • Header names keep the caller's case.
  • timeout: 0 means no timeout. reqwest's zero-length deadline fired immediately.
  • No ALPN is offered on https, so there is no accidental HTTP/2.
  • There is no 30-second default timeout any more. reqwest applied one; Node has none, and neither had lane 1.
  • https requests with Expect: 100-continue get 'continue' too.
  • req.destroy() / abort() now close the socket (client_turnloop::cancel).
  • Connect failures read connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:1; lane 1 had dropped the address.
  • A close before the response head is socket hang up / ECONNRESET, and mid-body it is 'aborted'.
  • TLS verification failures carry Node's .code (UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE, ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID, …) via a new PendingHttpEvent::CodedError. Before, they were an uncoded reqwest string.
  • Lane 1 bug fixed: a response head or chunk-size line split across two reads is now kept for the next read; before, the partial bytes were dropped.

Still on tokio in this crate (the remaining perry-ext-http → tokio edge)

  • agent.createConnection / createSocket and request-level createConnection. client_connect_override.rs polls perry-ext-net's raw vtable from a tokio task. This is decided before the transport is offered the request, and is unchanged.
  • The keep-alive socket facade's 40 ms idle-expiry sleep in agent.rs. It should become a tl::timer_arm deadline, as arm_client_timeout did.
  • Connection: Upgrade over https:. A TLS session cannot be handed to net, so a 101 there is delivered as an ordinary response, which is what reqwest did. This one is a limitation, not a tokio use.

Verification

All on perrymaster, Linux x86_64, Node v26.5.1 from /opt/node-v26.5.1-linux-x64 (matches .node-version).

Gap A/B, same base. Base is e6a3bd8f5; the branch is this change on that same base (e09dd86). Both are release builds of -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static, run with PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter <test> one test at a time. The set is 114 tests: every test-files name matching http/tls/agent/proxy/upgrade/trailer/continue/fetch/…, plus every file importing http/https that calls a client API.

  • base: 86 PASS, 22 PARITY_FAIL, 3 NODE_FAIL, 2 CRASH, 1 SKIPPED
  • branch: 87 PASS, 21 PARITY_FAIL, 3 NODE_FAIL, 2 CRASH, 1 SKIPPED
  • 0 regressions. One change: test_gap_turnloop_p9_worker_agent_net PARITY_FAIL → PASS. It was not investigated and may be timing-dependent, so no claim is made for it.

test-parity/node-suite/http + https, same builds. 101 files, each compiled and run, with stdout normalized and compared to Node plus the exit code.

  • base: 30 pass / 65 diff / 5 perry_err / 1 compile_fail
  • branch: 30 pass / 65 diff / 5 perry_err / 1 compile_fail
  • Identical per file. This compare is at the status level: a file that differs on both arms may differ differently, and that was not diffed.

Liveness in a real compiled binary. A throwaway probe, not committed: POST with a body and a timeout, then https.get with ca. Its stdout was byte-identical to Node (http 201 Made It POST 5 hello / https 200 1.1 secure /s). Made It is the server's own reason phrase, which the reqwest path could not have produced. The libperry_ext_http archive that binary linked has 0 reqwest symbols and 17 client_turnloop symbols.

cargo test -p perry-ext-http (rebased tree):

  • Library: 175 passed, 1 failed. The failure is needs_custom_client_logic, which already fails on main in this environment.
  • turnloop_client_exchange: 1/1. turnloop_reuse_port: 1/1.

tests/turnloop_client_exchange.rs is rewritten. One #[test], for the reason in its header. It carries six shapes over real sockets: GET 307 not followed; POST body with an explicit Host; keep-alive, where two requests arrive on one server connection and no second connection is made; a deadline; trailers; and https against a rustls server with the fixture CA. Each is asserted on the transport's counters and on the server's view of the bytes.

It is sabotage-checked: making park close instead of pool fails the keep-alive shape, and skipping the TLS layer fails the handshake assertion.

client_turnloop/tests.rs adds 11 state-machine tests that drive the sink handlers by hand and assert the effects: a split head, park then reuse, stale-reuse retry, a close response never pooled, deadline, socket hang up, EOF-delimited body, connect-error wording, trailers, continue ordering, 101 handoff, and cancel.

Tests moved, rewritten or removed. No other suite is affected; nothing outside perry-ext-http changed.

  • tests.rs::dispatch_request_stays_visible_to_exit_gate_until_response_queued drove the reqwest dispatch. It moved to client_turnloop/tests.rs under the same name and now drives the new state machine.
  • agent.rs::client_for_agent_memoizes now asserts the agent's pool config, which is what that cache existed for.
  • Lane 1's seven unit tests are kept by name, with bodies updated where the behaviour changed (explicit Host is now carried).
  • Deleted with classify_reqwest / host_port / kind_to_code: transport_error tests host_port_parses_explicit_port, host_port_defaults_known_scheme and kind_mapping. connect_failures_read_as_node_words_them replaces them.

Other checks.

  • cargo xwin check -p perry-ext-http --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc: passed, with cargo-xwin 0.23.0 and LLVM 22 clang-cl/lld-link.
  • RUSTFLAGS="-C force-unwind-tables=yes -D warnings" cargo check -p perry-ext-http --all-targets: clean.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, scripts/check_file_size.sh, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.py, scripts/tokio_inventory.py: pass.
  • SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 scripts/run_lint_gates.sh at the pre-rebase tree: 86 of 88 script gates passed, compile tier not run. The two failures:
    • cargo xwin check -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib: cargo-xwin is not on the host's PATH. I ran it separately for perry-ext-http only (above).
    • "Public benchmark evidence freshness": red on the base commit too.

Not run:

  • A full gap sweep.
  • macOS or Windows execution. Windows was compile-checked only.
  • Instruction-count A/B.
  • cargo test --workspace.
  • A live proxy end-to-end test. Proxy selection is unit-tested and the CONNECT/absolute-form heads are unit-tested, but no request was sent through a real proxy.

Stacked on nothing, and disjoint from #11162 (perry-stdlib turnloop_client), which this diff does not touch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • HTTP and HTTPS requests now use a unified transport with keep-alive connection pooling, TLS, environment proxy support, and improved handling of timeouts, retries, trailers, informational responses, and protocol upgrades.
    • Request and connection errors now more closely match Node.js status messages and error codes.

…qwest and tokio-rustls

client_turnloop (src/client_turnloop/) now carries every shape the reqwest
path did plus the three raw tokio TcpStream bypasses: request bodies,
options.timeout / req.setTimeout as tl::timer_arm deadlines, https via
perry_tls_session::TlsSession with the Node verifier tls_client builds,
Agent keep-alive with physical reuse (release only after End and
Decoder::reusable), NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY (absolute-form / CONNECT tunnel),
TE: trailers, Expect: 100-continue and Connection: Upgrade (101 hands the
handle to net with turnloop_net::transfer). A thread that does not own the
loop posts to the owner; no loop at all reports ENOTSUP.

reqwest and tokio-rustls leave perry-ext-http; with #11144 already landed,
reqwest, hyper, hyper-util, hyper-rustls, h2, tower and tower-http leave
Cargo.lock. tokio inventory: 11 -> 9 edges, 14 -> 7 lockfile packages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The standard HTTP and HTTPS client request path now uses a turnloop transport instead of reqwest. The transport adds HTTP/1.1 connection handling, TLS, proxy support, pooling, deadlines, and request-event delivery. Custom createConnection/createSocket exchanges and keep-alive socket idle expiry remain on Tokio.

Changes

HTTP client transport

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request encoding and connection policies
crates/perry-ext-http/src/client_turnloop/{wire,pool,proxy,tls}.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/tls_client.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/Cargo.toml
The transport serializes HTTP/1.1 request heads and bodies, resolves environment proxies, builds and caches rustls configurations, and derives per-agent keep-alive policies. Tests cover encoding, proxy selection, TLS configuration, and pooling policy.
Connection and exchange state machine
crates/perry-ext-http/src/client_turnloop/conn.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/client_turnloop/tests.rs
The connection state machine handles connect and TLS setup, response decoding, timeouts, cancellation, Expect: 100-continue, trailers, upgrades, pooling, and a single retry for a reused connection that closes before response bytes arrive.
Turnloop dispatch and request integration

Requests are prepared and routed through the turnloop transport. Agent pool settings and request lifecycle events connect to the transport, and coded transport errors are dispatched to request listeners. The reqwest dispatch and raw-TCP trailer and upgrade paths were removed.
End-to-end validation and migration records
crates/perry-ext-http/tests/turnloop_client_exchange.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/tests.rs, changelog.d/*, scripts/tokio_inventory.json

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 15aeb

Moving HTTP/HTTPS client requests off reqwest introduces two behavior regressions in common paths. First, keep-alive agents can silently resend non-idempotent requests such as POST after a stale connection closes, which may duplicate server-side writes. Second, header values containing line breaks are no longer rejected, so untrusted input placed in a header can inject extra headers or requests. Both should be fixed before merging.

Ready to merge once CI is clean (tokio lane C2). The node:http/https client now runs every request on turnloop. It removes perry-ext-http→reqwest and →tokio-rustls, so tokio edges go 11→9 and tokio-family lockfile packages 14→7; hyper, hyper-util, hyper-rustls, h2, tower and tower-http also leave the lock. A 114-test gap A/B shows 0 regressions (86→87), the 101-case node-suite http/https results are identical per file, and cargo xwin check passes. It touches only perry-ext-http, Cargo.lock and the inventory.

Limit the stale-connection retry to idempotent requests.

report_premature sends the request again on a new connection whenever a reused connection dies before any response byte arrives. It does this for every method. At this point send_request has already written the head and body (ex.sent = true), so the server may have received and processed the request. The server may also have closed the connection after processing it.

The trigger is a keep-alive Agent sending a POST/PATCH on a parked connection that the peer closes around the time of reuse. The retry then duplicates a non-idempotent write, for example a payment or an insert. Node does not retry on its own. It emits ECONNRESET and exposes req.reusedSocket, so the caller decides whether to retry.

Retry only idempotent methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, PUT, DELETE). For other methods, report socket hang up.

Injection

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-113 — Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')

Validate the final request head before serialization.

validate_client_options checks initial method and header-name tokens, but set_header accepts later names and values without validation. prepare copies these headers into Outbound unchanged, and serialize_head writes them directly. An untrusted value containing CR/LF can inject headers or another request on the default keep-alive connection.

Validate the final method and header map in prepare, after all setHeader calls. Require token methods and header names, and reject header values containing CR, LF, or NUL with ERR_INVALID_HTTP_TOKEN or ERR_INVALID_CHAR.

Validate before building Outbound
@@
 fn prepare(request: Request<'_>) -> Result<Outbound, String> {
+    validate_request_head(request.method, &request.headers)?;
     let url = url::Url::parse(request.url).map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;

In `@crates/perry-ext-http/src/client_turnloop/wire.rs` around lines 102 - 139,
Update prepare to validate the final request method and headers after all
set_header calls and before constructing Outbound. Require token methods and
header names, and reject header values containing CR, LF, or NUL; return
ERR_INVALID_HTTP_TOKEN for invalid tokens and ERR_INVALID_CHAR for invalid
values.

#11205 added a base64:: use in client_turnloop/wire.rs after this branch
was cut; this PR drops the base64 crate from perry-ext-http, so route it
through perry-base64 like the rest of the crate.
