Fixes items 1, 2 and 4 of #43381.

Problem

  • socket.destroy() emits 'end', then 'close'. Node emits 'close' only. finishSocketEnd (src/js/node/net.ts:978) pushes EOF into the destroyed stream.
  • A peer resets a socket with an 'error' listener and a write in flight. The callbacks of that write, of queued writes and of end() never run. The close handlers (net.ts:1029, net.ts:1759) destroy the socket and return first.
  • With no listener the reset throws ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED, not the read error. A peer close during the TLS handshake reports the same.

Fix

  • finishSocketEnd returns when the socket is destroyed.
  • The close handlers destroy with the read error when a write is in flight. Each exit then cancels that write with write ECANCELED.
  • A stranded write fails on the next tick, after the EOF.
  • Verified: node-net.test.ts ("socket teardown events") and node-tls-connect.test.ts (3 blocks). 11 of the 12 bun cases fail with main's net.ts. Other suites: Notes.

Background

Downsides

  • A reset after the peer's FIN, with a write in flight and no 'error' listener: main emits no 'error'. This PR throws, as Node does.
  • destroy() then connect() in one tick with a write in flight fails the new connection, as in Node. main reconnects.
  • On an accepted socket the canceled write reports after 'close'. node:net: cancel the in-flight write when the socket is destroyed #43250 fixes the order.
Notes

All runs below: Linux x64, debug ASAN build of 3492dab813, Node v26.3.0 as the reference. The head 3a5b12b62b differs from that commit in comments only. "this head" means that build. "main" is the same build with src/js/node/net.ts from a407eae88a. That is the only source file this PR changes.

Scripts from the issue.

plain-destroy  node:      ["close false"]
               main:      ["end","close false"]
               this head: ["close false"]
no-listener    node:      ["uncaught ECONNRESET read","write ECANCELED write","queued ECONNRESET read","close true"]
               main:      ["write ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","queued ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","uncaught ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","close true"]
               this head: ["uncaught ECONNRESET read","write ECANCELED write","queued ECONNRESET read","close true"]
not-reading    node:      ["write ECONNRESET write","queued ECONNRESET write","error ECONNRESET write","close true"]
               main:      ["error ECONNRESET read","close true"]
               this head: ["error ECONNRESET read","write ECANCELED write","queued ECONNRESET read","close true"]
tls-peer-close node:      ["end","error ECONNRESET","write ECANCELED write","close true"]
               main:      ["write ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","error ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","close true"]
               this head: ["end","write ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","error ECONNRESET","close true"]

What stays different: in the TLS case the write callback runs before 'error' and gets ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED. On an accepted socket (its _destroy has no handle and emits 'close' on the next tick) the canceled write's callback runs after 'close'. #43250 moves the cancel into _destroy. Its body says that this fixes both. I did not run the two PRs together after this merge. Item 3 (the reset reaches a paused socket as a read error, drain_for_error in packages/bun-usockets/src/loop.c) and item 5 (Windows) are not changed.

The write callbacks after a peer reset, with an 'error' listener. A standalone script does write(32 MiB, cb), write("tail", cb), end(cb) against a peer that reads nothing and resets. It counts the calls of the three callbacks on a client socket and on an accepted socket. The script is in the comment of 2026-10-15.

node v26.3.0   client {1,1,1}   accepted {1,1,1}   await new Promise(r => socket.write(big, r)): settled, ECANCELED
main           client {0,0,0}   accepted {0,0,0}   still pending after 4 s
this head      client {1,1,1}   accepted {1,1,1}   settled, ECANCELED     (3 of 3 runs)

Writable's errorBuffer() (src/js/internal/streams/writable.ts) returns at once while a write is in flight. So the queued writes and end() wait for the one callback that main never calls. The third scenario of the fixture in node-net.test.ts ("peer reset, handled") pins the three counts on both sides.

Merge with main (a407eae88a, 2026-10-15). The branch was 281 commits behind. It conflicted in src/js/node/net.ts (6 hunks) and in one hunk of each test file. The merge is 6678ba2359. The old head bc04a5a94d is its first parent, so the commit ids in the review threads still resolve.

After the merge.

  • 7f375aaec7: the "peer reset, handled" scenario (above).
  • 3492dab813: the two kReadError exits also cancel the write in flight. main added these exits after this PR was written. They serve a net.Socket that has unflushed writes when a TLS socket wraps it (the stream-level TLS engine). Test: "a peer reset with a write in flight on the socket that a TLS socket wraps" in node-tls-connect.test.ts.
  • 5c3c4c94e9, 3a5b12b62b: comments only.
a net.Socket with one write in flight and one queued is wrapped (tls.connect({ socket }) or new TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true })), the peer resets
node:                  ["tls error ECONNRESET read","raw close false","tls close true"]   both write callbacks run once
main, merge 6678ba2359: the same three events                                             no write callback runs
this head:             the same three events                                             both write callbacks run once

Downsides, measured.

destroy(), then connect() in the same tick, one write in flight
node:      ["error ECANCELED write","close false","close true"]
main:      ["close false","reconnected"]
this head: ["error ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED","close false","close true"]

accepted socket, allowHalfOpen, no 'error' listener: the peer's FIN, then one write in flight, then the peer's reset
node:      ["end","write EPIPE write","uncaught EPIPE write","close true"]
main:      ["end","write EPIPE read","close false"]
this head: ["end","uncaught EPIPE read","close true","write ECANCELED write"]

Found by reading, not run: a TLS socket over the stream-level engine with a write in flight before the handshake completes, no 'error' listener, and a read error of its transport. onUpgradedReadError calls SocketEmitEndNT with kclosed unset, so main closes it silently and this PR throws the read error.

Tests.

  • The tests of this PR: 24 cases pass (12 under bun, 12 under Node). With main's net.ts, 11 of the 12 bun cases fail. The twelfth (accepted socket, no listener, peer reset) records no write callbacks and passes on main.
  • Node scripts test-net-*, test-tls-*, test-https-*, test-http-*, test-http2-*: 1087 in parallel/ and 29 in sequential/ on the merge 6678ba2359, with the command line of scripts/runner.node.ts. 11 failed in the first pass. I ran those 3 more times on each build, each with its own tmp dir. 5 pass on both builds: my first pass gave all scripts one tmp dir. 6 fail on both builds: test-http2-forget-closed-streams.js and test-https-timeout.js (60 s limit), test-http-client-timeout-option.js, test-http-agent-keepalive.js, test-http-outgoing-end-cork.js, test-http-abort-queued.js (each of the last three passes in 1 of 3 runs on at least one build). The 519 tls, https and http2 scripts again on this head: the same 2 time out.
  • test/js/node/net, tls, http, http2: 86 files, 3142 tests on this head, two files at a time, --timeout 30000. 8 fail. 7 of them also fail with main's net.ts: should trigger error when aborted even if connection failed #13126 (no DNS in the container), should have peer certificate and should work with alpnProtocols (each in tls.connect and tls.connect using duplex proxy, they connect to bun.sh), unref should exit when no more work pending, and reports the reset that arrives while the socket is paused as ECONNRESET, not 'end'. The eighth is should not crash on abort (node-http-uaf-fixture.ts), which ran into its 60 s limit. Alone it takes 54 s on this head and 59 s with main's net.ts.
  • With the default 5 s timeout and four files at a time, most failure lines on both builds are timeouts of the debug binary (260 of 274 on the merge, 143 of 173 on main). I did not use those runs.
  • net.Socket write > should allow reconnecting after end() failed one time in a sweep of the merge. It reconnects 3 ms after end(). Alone it passes 12 of 12 runs on both builds. With 10 busy loops beside it, 11 of 30 runs fail on the merge and 8 of 30 with main's net.ts.
  • bun x tsc --noEmit -p src/js/tsconfig.json, bun lint src/js/node/net.ts and bun fmt --check on the three files: clean.
  • Not run: macOS, Windows, a release build.

The node:http client case from the comment of 2026-09-21 (a close-delimited response, req.destroy() in the middle of the body) still holds. The test of 03f3d129b2 passes 4 of 4 on this head. With main's net.ts, 2 of 4 fail with ["data","end"]. That test is not in this PR.

Related PRs. #43250 (above). #43877 parks a TLS write in kwriteCallback until the transport has the ciphertext. #35386 (draft) changes the ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED block for TLS sockets.

Other notes.

  • A write that still holds _pendingData (parked until 'connect' or the TLS attach) is left to its own 'close' listener. Before, the close handler failed it with ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED and the listener called the callback a second time.
  • failPendingWriteNT knows the write only by its callback, and a stream passes the same callback to every _write. That is why the deferred failure reaches the connection of a connect() made in the same tick (Downsides).
  • Found outside this PR, by reading, not run: the code behind Http2SecureServer.emit("connection", raw) attaches 'data', 'end', 'drain' and 'close' to the raw socket and no 'error' listener (src/js/node/_http2_upgrade.ts:393). The TLS engine writes to that socket.
  • Self-review before the merge: 9 concerns raised. Addressed: the related PRs are listed, and the write settlement uses the same error as node:net: cancel the in-flight write when the socket is destroyed #43250 and Node. Not taken: stacking this PR on node:net: cancel the in-flight write when the socket is destroyed #43250, folding the two read-error-on-close blocks into one helper (the SocketEmitEndNT copy has the Windows codeless-errno branch), and recording the write callbacks on the accepted socket (their position differs until node:net: cancel the in-flight write when the socket is destroyed #43250).
  • Review of the merge: two read-only passes over the resolution. No defect found in it. 1 concern taken (the kReadError exits). 3 reported here and not changed: the two behavior changes under Downsides, and the order on an accepted socket.

no test proof · iteration 2 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts

… behind a write in flight

A destroyed socket pushed EOF from the native close handler and emitted
'end'. Node emits 'close' only.

A peer reset with a write in flight and no 'error' listener failed the
write with ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED, and that failure destroyed the socket. The
read error (ECONNRESET, syscall read) was lost. Now the close destroys
the socket with the read error, as it does when a listener is attached.

The write that a native close strands fails on the next tick, so the
EOF reaches the stream first. A TLS handshake that the peer cuts off
now emits 'end' and destroys with ECONNRESET before the write fails.

Walkthrough

Socket handling now suppresses EOF for destroyed sockets, defers pending-write failures, and cancels eligible in-flight writes after read-close errors. Bun and Node tests cover net and TLS teardown, peer resets, event ordering, and callback counts.

Changes

Socket close behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Close and pending-write ordering

…, close the adopted parent from _destroy

A close that destroys the socket with the read error left the write in
flight parked. Its callback never ran. Now it gets ECANCELED on the next
tick, after 'error', as uv_close gives it in node.

A TLS socket over an allowHalfOpen net.Socket closed its parent from its
own 'end'. A destroyed socket emits no 'end' now, so _destroy closes the
parent, as node's TLSWrap does.

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

The follow-up commits address what I raised last round: the write in flight is now settled with ECANCELED after the read-error destroy in both close handlers, _destroy closes the adopted raw socket directly, the fixture exits nonzero instead of throwing, and the macOS skip is explained. Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the behavior change where a peer reset with a write in flight and no 'error' listener now surfaces as an uncaught read ECONNRESET (net.ts:718 / :1411) rather than the silent close on main — it matches Node's contract, so I ruled it out as intentional.

Extended reasoning...

The diff since the prior review adds cancelPendingWriteAfterClose after every self.destroy(er) in SocketEmitEndNT and SocketHandlers2.close, adds the kAdoptedTLSRaw branch in Socket.prototype._destroy, and reworks the fixtures (process.exit(1) on setup failure, macOS reason in the skip comment), which covers each earlier inline point. The remaining candidate examined this run, the uncaught ECONNRESET with no 'error' listener, is a deliberate Node-parity change rather than a regression, so it is not a finding. The two inline findings (server-side ECANCELED ordering after 'close', and no test exercising the ECANCELED delivery) are posted separately and are not restated here.

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

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟣 src/js/node/net.ts — Pre-existing, and the new parent-close branch does not reach it: a server that destroys a new tls.TLSSocket(raw, { isServer: true }) in the same tick it wrapped it leaves raw open forever. The adopt step is deferred to process.nextTick at src/js/node/net.ts:2440; when the TLS socket is already destroyed, src/js/node/net.ts:2442 calls this.destroy() (a no-op) and returns, and nothing ever closes the accepted socket, so server._connections never drops and server.close() never completes. Fix: when the wrapper is destroyed before the adopt tick, destroy the wrapped connection too, as the client-side sibling at src/js/node/net.ts:2103-2106 already does, or make the new _destroy branch at :2222 cover a kupgraded net.Socket that has not been adopted yet. [also at: src/js/node/net.ts:2226 - pre-existing: destroying a TLS socket over a net.Socket still leaves that parent open on the two wrap paths the new branch does not reach, where Node's TLSWrap closes it. src/js/node/net.ts:2220-2226 only closes a Socket parent whose handle carries kAdoptedTLSRaw.]

    Extended reasoning...

    The PR adds the else-if at src/js/node/net.ts:2222 so that a destroyed TLS socket closes its adopted parent ("as node's TLSWrap does"). The guard is upgraded._handle?.[kAdoptedTLSRaw], which is only true after adoption at :2487.
    Trigger: in a net.createServer 'connection' handler, const s = new tls.TLSSocket(raw, { isServer: true, key, cert }); s.destroy(); (an address filter or rate limiter deciding synchronously).
    TLSSocket constructor (src/js/node/tls.ts:846) calls the server-upgrade method. At :2439 this[kupgraded] = connection is set synchronously; the fd adoption is scheduled with process.nextTick at :2440. The TLS _handle stays unset (tls.ts:823-826).
    s.destroy() runs _destroy (:2211). upgraded is the raw net.Socket, an instance of Socket, so :2220 is false. upgraded._handle is the plain…

    Verification: pre-existing (the base takes the same route through the untouched deferred-adoption callback, so merging makes nothing worse; but it is a gap in the class this PR sets out to close and its new test pins only the post-'secure' case). Trigger: a net.createServer 'connection' listener does const s = new tls.TLSSocket(raw, { isServer: true, key, cert }); s.destroy(); in the same tick (or any…

…efore the fd is adopted

The adoption runs a tick after the wrap. A destroy() in the wrap's tick
left the accepted net.Socket open, so server._connections never dropped
and server.close() never completed.

This change also corrects a node:http client case that the description does not list. I checked it against a build of this branch.

The case. A response with no Content-Length and no Transfer-Encoding is framed by connection close. The client destroys the request while the body streams (req.destroy() in 'data', or req.on('timeout', () => req.destroy()), or abort()). On main the response ends with a clean 'end', so a truncated download looks complete. Node reports 'aborted' and ECONNRESET. The cause is the 'end' that a destroyed net.Socket emits: it reaches socketOnEnd in _http_client.ts, which finishes the parser and marks the body complete before socketCloseListener runs its abort check.

Result. Debug builds, same machine. "main" is this branch with only src/js/node/net.ts reverted to the merge-base (367d939). Each row is the same for http and https.

close-delimited body        node v26.3.0 and this PR (bc04a5a94d)               main
destroy in 'data'           data,aborted,res-error:ECONNRESET                   data,end
'timeout' then destroy()    data,timeout,aborted,res-error:ECONNRESET           data,timeout,end
'timeout' then abort()      data,timeout,aborted,res-error:ECONNRESET           data,timeout,end
  • All 6 close-delimited cells (3 triggers, http and https) match Node on this branch. All 6 are wrong on main.
  • The 6 chunked cells match Node on both builds. They are the control.
  • A custom createConnection Duplex that pushes EOF inside its own destroy() still gives data,end | complete=true, as Node does. This change does not touch that path.

Test. An http-level regression test for this case is on the branch robobun/c7c32d26/http-client-destroy-test, commit 03f3d12. It is one commit on top of bc04a5a and adds one file, test/js/node/http/node-http-client-destroy.test.ts (http and https, close-delimited and chunked). With net.ts at the merge-base, 2 of 4 tests fail (["data","end"]). On this branch, 4 of 4 pass. It is the test that was on #33256 before that PR was closed as stale, with the https rows added.

I did not push the test to this branch. CI on bc04a5a is green (build 118184), and a push starts it again. To take the test: git cherry-pick 03f3d129b2.

… parked (#43698)

### Problem
- An accepted `node:tls` socket whose write is the first to see the
peer's RST emits `'end'` and nothing else: no write callback, no
`'error'`, no `'close'`. The server counts it forever, so
`server.close()` never completes. On main, 16 of 30 connections end this
way. Node: 0 of 30.
- The last block of `SocketEmitEndNT` (`src/js/node/net.ts:875`) fails a
parked write only when the native close carries an error or the socket
is destroyed. Here the failed `send()` consumed the socket error, so the
close carries none.

### Fix
- A half-open `'end'` runs the same function, and its write can still
drain. Tell the two apart by `kclosed`, which only the native close
handlers set. A parked write on a closed handle fails with
`ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`, as the client-side close handler already does.
`'error'` and `'close'` follow.
- #42336 fixes the cause in the TLS write path, and alone it also
removes this state (0 of 30, measured). #38176 alone does not (18 and 26
of 30). This change is the JS-side guarantee for any clean close that
leaves a write parked.
- Verified: new test in `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-server.test.ts`
(fails on main with `events: []` and 2 connections, passes here).
`test/js/node/tls/`, `test/js/node/net/` and Node's 325
`test-net-*`/`test-tls-*` files: same failures as main.

### Background
- A write the kernel does not take whole is parked: the native socket
buffers the rest, and `net.ts` keeps the callback in `kwriteCallback`
until the drain.
- Accepted sockets are half-open natively, so a peer FIN dispatches only
`'end'`.
- After a native close the fd is gone, and nothing parked can drain.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

#### The ledger's repro (30 connections, the peer resets on the first
byte of a 1 MiB write, node peer, linux-x64)

| build | never closed | the other connections |
|---|---|---|
| node v26.3.0 | 0 of 30 | `error:ECONNRESET`, `close:true` |
| main (release 367d939) | 16 of 30 (8 to 25 over other runs) |
`error:ECONNRESET`, `close:true` |
| main + #38176 | 18 and 26 of 30 | same |
| main + #42336 | 0 and 0 of 30 | `cb:ECONNRESET`, `error:ECONNRESET`,
`close:true` |
| this branch | 0 of 30 | 16 took `end`, `cb:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`,
`error:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`, `close:true` |

For the two PR rows I merged each PR's head into main @a2b69f7b. #38176
merges cleanly. #42336 conflicts in two test files only, which I
resolved to main's side. `src/` and `packages/` merged without
conflicts.

#### Mechanism, traced with the `Socket` debug scope

```
[socket] write(1048576) = 393216      the write takes many send() calls; one of them meets the RST
[socket] onEnd S                      recv() returns 0: the failed send() consumed the error
[socket] onClose S                    hangup, close code 0
```

The TLS write path folds a rejected `send()` to "wire blocked" and keeps
no errno (that is #42336). A plain `net.createServer` does not reach
this state, because `us_socket_write_check_error` reports the errno and
`failWrite` fails the write.

#### What still differs from Node after this change

The sockets that took this path report `'end'`, then
`ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED`. Node reports `write ECONNRESET` and no `'end'`. The
errno is gone by the time the close reaches JS, so only the native fix
can restore it. With #42336 the write fails at write time and nothing is
parked at the close, so the two changes do not overlap. If #42336 lands
first, the new test here passes without this change, and this becomes a
guard with no known trigger on Linux.

#### The test

The server runs in a child process so that it can stop polling. It
reports the accepted socket, then blocks in `fs.readSync(0)` until the
test has reset the connection, and only then writes. The write is
therefore the first operation to see the reset on every run, with no
timing involved:

```
node v26.3.0:  write()=false | cb:ECONNRESET | error:ECONNRESET | close:true   connections 0
main:          write()=false | end                                            (nothing more, 3 of 3)
this branch:   write()=false | end | cb:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED | error:ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED | close:true   connections 0
```

A socket that never closes gives no event to wait for, so the server
reports when a second connection arrives. That handshake takes several
turns of the server's loop, and the reset socket closes in the first of
them or not at all. The server then destroys both sockets, so the child
exits in both outcomes and the test fails with the recorded state, not
with a timeout (about 2 s on a debug build of main).

The test asserts what holds in Node and on every platform: `'error'`,
then `'close'` with `hadError` true, then a `getConnections()` of 1,
which is the second connection. It also asserts that the child exited on
its own. It does not pin the error code or the write callback. On main
the read-error path never calls a parked write's callback, which is
#43250. If the reset were seen by a read first, a fixed build would
still pass.

#### Overlap with open PRs

#43392 rewrites the same block into a helper and keeps the same
`destroyed || _err` condition, so it does not cover this case. The two
conflict textually in that one hunk. The resolution is to keep its
helper and call it when `kclosed` is set.

Conflicts in src/js/node/net.ts, test/js/node/net/node-net.test.ts and
test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts.

net.ts: main rewrote the TLS adoption and teardown code this branch
touched, and changed the last block of both close handlers.

- The close handlers keep main's kReadError and leftToTLSSocket paths.
  The gate that destroys the socket with the read error also takes a
  write in flight, and both exits of it cancel that write.
- The last block of SocketEmitEndNT keeps main's condition (kclosed or
  destroyed) and fails the parked write through
  failPendingWriteAfterClose, on the next tick.
- A write that the TLS engine rejected shares the kwriteCallback slot
  (kRejectedWrite). It is not a write in flight: the gate does not count
  it, and failPendingWriteAfterClose leaves it to failRejectedWrite,
  which fails it with its own error at the close.
- Two hunks of this branch are dropped, because main closes the wrapped
  socket itself now: closeWithTLSSocket and closeOwedRaw for an adopted
  socket, transportToDestroy in _destroy for one that is not adopted
  yet.

The two test files take both sides: main's tests and the tests of this
branch.
…llback

The fixture of the teardown tests gets a third scenario. The socket has
an 'error' listener, one write is in flight, one write is queued behind
it, and end() follows. The peer resets. The report ends with the number
of times each of the three callbacks ran.

On main all three counts are 0, on the client and on the accepted
socket: the close handlers destroy the socket with the read error and
return before the block that fails the parked write. Node gives 1 for
each.
…orts its read error

A net.Socket that has unflushed writes when a TLS socket wraps it runs
under the stream-level TLS engine. When its peer resets, the close
handlers hand the read error to the TLS socket (kReadError) and destroy
the wrapped socket with nothing to report. That exit returned before
the write in flight was canceled, so the callback of that write and of
every write queued behind it never ran. Node runs both with
ECANCELED.

Both kReadError exits now cancel the write in flight, as the other
exits of the same branch do.

I merged main (a407eae88a) into this branch. The PR merges again. The new head is 3a5b12b62b.

What the push holds

  • 6678ba2359: the merge. The old head bc04a5a94d is its first parent, so the commit ids in the review threads still resolve.
  • 7f375aaec7: one more scenario in the teardown fixture of node-net.test.ts.
  • 3492dab813: the two kReadError exits cancel the write in flight too, with a test in node-tls-connect.test.ts.
  • 5c3c4c94e9, 3a5b12b62b: comments only. The runs below are from 3492dab813.

The conflicts

src/js/node/net.ts had 6 conflicted hunks. Each test file had one. Since this PR was written, main rewrote the TLS adoption and teardown code and changed the last block of both close handlers. The description has the full account under Notes. Three points need a reviewer's eye:

  • Two hunks of this PR are gone. _destroy closed the adopted net.Socket, and the adoption tick destroyed the accepted socket. main does both now (closeWithTLSSocket, closeOwedRaw, transportToDestroy). The three "allowHalfOpen" cases of this PR pass without the two hunks.
  • A rejected TLS write is not a write in flight. main parks a write that the TLS engine rejected in the same kwriteCallback slot (kRejectedWrite). The merge does not count it at the gate and does not fail it from failPendingWriteAfterClose. failRejectedWrite still fails it with its own error at the close, as on main.
  • The kReadError exits. main added them after this PR was written. They destroyed the wrapped socket and returned before the cancel, so the write in flight of that socket never reported. 3492dab813 adds the cancel there.

The hang with an 'error' listener

This PR also fixes a hang that its description did not name before. A socket with an 'error' listener has a write in flight, and the peer resets. 'error' and 'close' come, and the callbacks of write() and end() never run. This script shows it. It runs under bun and under node. Exit 86 means that a callback never ran.

net-write-callback-never-after-reset.cjs
// usage: bun net-write-callback-never-after-reset.cjs      (also runs on node; loopback only; starts one child of itself: the peer; no files; about 12 s)
// exit 86 = after the peer resets the connection in the middle of a large write, 'error' and 'close' come but the callbacks of write() and end() are never called; 0 = every callback is called once; 2 = a control failed.
// The law: every callback of a write and of end exactly once. A program that awaits a promisified socket.write() waits for ever.

})();
build (Linux x64) exit client: write, write, end accepted socket await new Promise(r => socket.write(big, r))
Node v26.3.0 0 1, 1, 1 1, 1, 1 settled, ECANCELED

this head, 3 of 3 runs 0 1, 1, 1 1, 1, 1 settled, ECANCELED

The new scenario in node-net.test.ts pins the three counts on the client and on the accepted socket. With main's net.ts both cases report calls {"write":0,"queued":0,"end":0}.

What changes for code that works on main

Each of these is measured against Node and against main. The outputs are in the description under "Downsides, measured".

  • A reset after the peer's FIN, with a write in flight and no 'error' listener, on an accepted socket. main emits no 'error'. This head throws EPIPE with syscall read. Node throws EPIPE with syscall write.
  • destroy() then connect() in the same tick, with a write in flight. main reconnects. This head and Node fail the new connection.

Tests

Linux x64, debug ASAN build. "main" is the same build with net.ts from a407eae88a.

  • The tests of this PR: 24 cases pass, 12 under bun and 12 under Node. With main's net.ts, 11 of the 12 bun cases fail.
  • 1087 + 29 Node scripts (test-net-*, test-tls-*, test-https-*, test-http-*, test-http2-*): 6 fail, and the same 6 fail with main's net.ts.
  • test/js/node/net, tls, http, http2: 86 files, 3142 tests. 8 fail. 7 of them fail with main's net.ts too. The eighth is a 60 s timeout that takes 54 s alone on this head and 59 s with main's net.ts.
  • The node:http case from the comment above still holds: the test of 03f3d129b2 passes 4 of 4 on this head, and 2 of 4 fail with main's net.ts.
  • Not run: macOS, Windows, a release build.

Not done here

#43250 cancels the same write in _destroy. It also conflicts with main now. I did not run the two PRs together after this merge.

One more case for this PR: an https request that ends with no error on main. The finishSocketEnd change of this PR fixes it.

Case. https.get() through a keep-alive agent, against a TLS 1.2 server that keeps its side open. The caller calls socket.end() in the 'socket' event, and socket.destroy() 500 ms later. agent.destroy() in place of socket.destroy() gives the same lines.

Runtime Events of the request
Node v26.3.0 error ECONNRESET, close
Bun 1.4.2 error ECONNRESET, close
main (f0c6cbc, debug build) close and no error, 3 of 3 runs
main with the finishSocketEnd line of this PR error ECONNRESET, close

Cause.

  • Since node:tls: send a client's FIN after the first step of its handshake #43962 the ClientHello leaves before the FIN of an early end(). On TLS 1.2 the handshake cannot complete after that FIN. So the socket is still secureConnecting when the caller destroys it.
  • destroy() emits 'end' (the first item of this PR). onConnectEnd runs on that 'end'. It sets _hadError and calls destroy(error) on a socket that is already destroyed, so the error is dropped.
  • The 'end' and 'close' listeners of the HTTP client then see _hadError and do not report socket hang up.

With if (self[kended] || self.destroyed) return; in finishSocketEnd the socket emits no 'end', and the close listener of the HTTP client reports ECONNRESET, as in Node. I tested only that one line on main, not the rest of this PR. The PR conflicts with main at the moment.

Script

It needs node on the PATH and a self-signed pair for localhost next to it (openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout k.pem -out c.pem -days 5 -subj "/CN=localhost" -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost").

#43250 now has the finishSocketEnd guard of this PR as its first commit, and it cancels the write in flight from _destroy. This PR should land on top of #43250:

robobun added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 21, 2026
…ions the server's timers and error path

A connection that node:http parses in JS had no timer: a socket given
to server.emit('connection'), and an HTTP/1.1 client of
http2.createSecureServer({ allowHTTP1: true }). An idle keep-alive
connection, half a request head and half a request body stayed open.
The private error handler of these connections emitted 'clientError'
twice for one error and wrote a raw 400 behind a response head.

The JS listener now follows the connection rules that a connection
accepted by the server follows, through the server's own functions:
socketOnError, the socket 'timeout' handler, and the close or
keep-alive arm of onResponseFinishHandleSocket. checkConnections gets
an arm for these connections with the list rules of Node's
ConnectionsList. An allowHTTP1 Http2SecureServer stores its options
with storeHTTPOptions, starts the sweep at 'listening' and clears it
in close(), as Node does.

Also:
- checkConnections converts headersTimeout and requestTimeout once
  and swaps an inverted pair as Node does, for accepted connections
  too.
- socketOnError leaves one no-op 'error' listener on the socket, not
  one for each report.
- storeHTTPOptions makes httpValidation an own property also when the
  option is not given, as Node does.
- A close-delimited response closes its socket behind 'finish', as
  every other response that must close.
- net.Socket emits no 'end' after destroy() (the finishSocketEnd line
  of #43392), so a timeout that destroys a socket inside a request is
  not a second 'clientError'.
- A socket that is an Http2Stream keeps the timer of its session.
