Summary

Cherry-picks feature commits from Kong/lua-resty-websocket, another fork of openresty/lua-resty-websocket.

Kong's master has 27 commits that don't exist in openresty/lua-resty-websocket. Most of them (early ssl_support check, custom host header, custom sec-websocket-key, discrete send/recv limits, socket connection pool reuse, etc.) turned out to already be implemented independently in upstream openresty, under different commits, which this repo already tracks. Those are skipped since we already have equivalent behavior.

This PR only cherry-picks the 7 commits that genuinely add capabilities not present in upstream, each pulled in with git cherry-pick so the original author, email and commit date are preserved:

  1. feature: forward proxy (Kong#9) — connect to a wss endpoint through an HTTP(S) forward proxy
  2. fix(proxy): support legacy http proxy server http/1.0 response for CONNECT (Kong#19)
  3. feat(client): new method get_resp_headers() (Kong#16)
  4. feat(client): add new client api to get server returned status code (Kong#20)
  5. fix(client): handle the handshake failures correctly (Kong#21)
  6. fix(client): keep socket open on non-101 when keep_response=true (Kong#23)
  7. fix(client.lua): add nil check for response headers (Kong#25)

Commits 4-7 replace this repo's existing 2606072 (reject a non-101 handshake response) with Kong's more complete implementation: it keeps resp_status_code/response headers even on failure, unconditionally sets fatal, and adds a keep_response option.

Conflict resolution

The conflicts hit during cherry-pick all came from this repo (tracking upstream openresty) and the Kong fork having evolved independently on top of the same code, not from any real logic disagreement:

  • Merged unix-socket support (specific to this repo) with proxy-aware addressing (introduced by Kong) so both keep working.
  • Commit Support for custom headers openresty/lua-resty-websocket#23 also carried a CI change (pinning the OpenResty bundle version in .github/workflows/tests.yml); that file no longer exists here after this repo's own CI migration, so the conflict was resolved by keeping it deleted and only carrying over the functional change.

License

Kong's fork had already corrected its rockspec's license field to "2-clause BSD", matching this repo, so there's no licensing conflict.

Testing

Test::Nginx::Socket wasn't available in the environment used to prepare this branch, so the full t/*.t suite could not be run locally; the change was checked with luajit -bl for syntax only. Please rely on CI to run the test suite.

…NNECT (openresty#19)

There are some cases where the websocket connection may go through a legacy http proxy server which only supports HTTP/1.0. When doing CONNECT request, the http proxy server will respond with HTTP/1.0 200 and that may fail the status line check in the current code. This PR loosen this a bit to support both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 response for the CONNECT request.

https://konghq.atlassian.net/browse/FTI-6683
…penresty#20)

Part of https://konghq.atlassian.net/browse/FTI-6895

We need these new websocket client features to proceed the issue:

1. return the HTTP status code even if the connection fails, so that we can tell if an error is HTTP error or connection level error
2. return the HTTP headers even if the connection fails, so that we can honor the `retry-after` response code when the HTTP status code is 429.
…nresty#23)

* fix(client): keep socket open on non-101 when keep_response=true

When a caller sets `keep_response=true` in the connect options, leave the
raw TCP socket open after a non-101 response, so the caller can still read
the HTTP response body (RFC 6455 §4.1: "handle the response per HTTP
procedures").

`self.fatal` is now set unconditionally for non-101 responses, regardless
of `keep_response`, ensuring no WebSocket frames can be sent on a
connection that never completed the WebSocket handshake.

- lua-resty-core master: requires stream module >= 0.0.18
…hen response header is not available (openresty#25)

* fix(client.lua): add nil check for response headers to handle cases when the response header is not available

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client adds WSS proxy negotiation, proxy authorization, response status and header accessors, and non-101 response handling. Integration tests cover proxied connections, failed handshakes, and stream-enabled CI support.

Changes

WSS proxy and response handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
WSS proxy negotiation
lib/resty/websocket/client.lua, t/forward-proxy-server.lua, t/cs.t
The client parses HTTP and Unix-socket proxy endpoints, sends CONNECT requests, supports proxy authorization, rejects unsupported proxy schemes, and validates proxy responses. The test proxy supports authorization and bidirectional tunneling.
Handshake response access
lib/resty/websocket/client.lua, t/sanity.t, t/handshake.t, t/cs.t, t/count.t
The client caches response status and headers. Non-101 responses set the fatal state and close the socket unless keep_response is enabled. New accessors expose normalized headers and the response status code. Handshake expectations and exported-member counts are updated.
Stream-enabled integration environment
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The CI workflow clones stream-lua-nginx-module and enables stream, stream SSL, and stream SSL preread modules in the nginx build.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review

Explanation

The PR adds real E2E coverage for HTTP forward proxying, proxy authentication, HTTP/1.0 CONNECT responses, response metadata, and non-101 handshakes. However, it violates the blocking error-handling criterion in the new t/forward-proxy-server.lua: return values from settimeouts, receive, receiveany, flush, and close are ignored, and receive errors are silently treated like normal closure. The PR also adds the Unix-socket proxy branch and proxy URL validation in client.lua, but adds no E2E coverage for Unix-socket proxies, rejected https:// proxies, invalid proxy URLs, or the default proxy port. These are critical paths of the stated proxy feature.

Resolution

Handle every applicable socket and stream return value in t/forward-proxy-server.lua. Check request-line and header reads before parsing, distinguish closed sockets from read errors, handle send and flush failures, and close the upstream socket with error handling. Add E2E tests for the Unix-socket proxy path and invalid proxy inputs, including https:// rejection and the default HTTP proxy port. Also verify retry behavior after a failed proxy CONNECT, using a fresh or correctly reset socket when required.

Full details: Security Check

Explanation

Category 1 — CRITICAL: Finding at lib/resty/websocket/client.lua:533-579. The new get_resp_headers() parses and returns every response header. It has no redaction or allowlist. A server response can therefore expose sensitive Authorization, X-API-Key, Cookie, or token-bearing headers to the caller. The pull request introduces this public accessor and stores headers for failed handshakes as well. Category 2: No issues found. Category 3: No issues found. Category 4: No issues found. Category 5: No incorrect TLS verification or obsolete TLS default was introduced. Category 6: No issues found. Category 7: No issues found. The test proxy logs header names only, so it does not add a separate credential-log finding.

Resolution

Do not return sensitive response headers by default. Add a case-insensitive denylist for Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, Cookie, Set-Cookie, X-API-Key, and token-bearing headers, or expose an explicit allowlist API. If callers require raw headers, require an explicit opt-in and document that the result contains secrets. Add tests that verify sensitive headers are absent or redacted from get_resp_headers().

In `@lib/resty/websocket/client.lua`:
- Line 221: Update the proxy handling around the scheme validation and CONNECT
request so an https proxy is never contacted with plaintext: either establish
TLS with the proxy before sending CONNECT and credentials, or explicitly reject
the https scheme if nested TLS is unsupported. Preserve the existing http proxy
behavior and ensure Proxy-Authorization is not transmitted before secure
transport is established.
- Line 221: Update the proxy URL handling around the bound ngx.re.match result
before the condition comparing m[1] with "http" and "https". When m is nil for
an unmatched non-Unix wss_proxy value, return "invalid proxy url"; preserve the
existing protocol validation for matched URLs.
- Line 226: Update the default assignment for connect_port in the proxy
connection logic to select port 80 when the proxy scheme is http and port 443
when it is https, while preserving any explicitly specified port.
- Line 238: Update the connection logic around sock:connect to track when the
selected proxy target is a Unix socket, including the wss_proxy Unix-address
path, and call the two-argument sock:connect(connect_addr, sock_opts) form for
that target; preserve the existing host/port connection form for TCP targets.
- Around line 360-361: Update _M.connect to clear resp_status_code, resp_header,
and resp_headers at the start of every connection attempt, before reusing the
socket or processing a new handshake, so failed or subsequent attempts cannot
expose stale response metadata.

The forward-proxy tests ported from Kong/lua-resty-websocket spin up
a fake proxy server via an nginx `stream {}` block, which needs the
stream core module and stream-lua-nginx-module. Add both to the CI
build, matching what Kong's own CI already builds with.

We replaced this repo's own non-101 handshake rejection with Kong's
implementation, which uses a different error message ('unexpected
HTTP response code: N' instead of 'failed websocket handshake:
unexpected response status: N'). Update the pre-existing assertions
in handshake.t accordingly.

…code

- connect(): clear resp_status_code/resp_header/resp_headers at the
  start of every attempt, so a client instance reused across multiple
  connect() calls (pool-reused connection, or a retry after failure)
  never exposes stale data from a previous attempt.
- proxy URL parsing: guard against an unmatched proxy_url indexing a
  nil match result; explicitly reject an https:// wss_proxy instead of
  silently treating it like http (TLS to the proxy itself was never
  implemented, so accepting it would send the CONNECT request and any
  Proxy-Authorization in the clear while the scheme implied otherwise).
  With https rejected, the only remaining valid scheme is http, so the
  proxy's default port is now correctly 80 instead of always 443.
- proxy connect(): track whether the actual connect target is a Unix
  socket independently of whether the original wss:// URI was one, so
  a Unix-socket wss_proxy used against a non-Unix target now uses the
  two-argument sock:connect() form instead of passing a nil port.
- t/forward-proxy-server.lua: stop logging header values at DEBUG
  level, since this included the Proxy-Authorization credential.
