Summary

  • route listener-owned WebSocket upgrades through Node's raw net.Socket handoff instead of completing the handshake in Perry first
  • keep native attached WebSocket servers on the internal WebSocket path
  • pass upgrade head bytes as a Buffer, including an empty Buffer, so public ws can consume the callback arguments

Fixes #10898.

Root cause

The fallback HTTP server treated every handshake with Sec-WebSocket-Key as native. It wrote the 101 response and passed a native WebSocket handle to the server's JavaScript upgrade listener. The public ws package expects to own that handshake and receive the untouched socket. After routing it correctly, ws also exposed that the server path used undefined for an empty upgrade head, while Node always supplies a Buffer.

Validation

  • cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-ext-http (143 pre-existing tests and bind integration test pass before the head-shape addition)
  • cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-ext-http server::upgrade::tests (2 new head-buffer tests pass)
  • raw-upgrade classifier tests pass, including a WebSocket handshake with Sec-WebSocket-Key
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • ./scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • exact public ws@8.21.1 source fixture, stacked locally with fix(compiler): preserve CommonJS require export conditions #11072 for bare-package resolution: server connection: ok

The original echo fixture now reaches and returns from the server connection callback, then exposes a separate client send() constructor error after open.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed WebSocket upgrade handling for requests claimed by JavaScript upgrade listeners. The original socket and upgrade data are now passed through without altering binary bytes, including when the data is empty.
    • WebSocket libraries can complete their own handshake and receive connection events for these requests. Ordinary HTTP requests continue through the existing handling path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The raw upgrade path now dispatches WebSocket handshakes to JavaScript upgrade listeners. Those listeners receive the raw socket and upgrade-head bytes as a Perry buffer, including when the head is empty.

Changes

HTTP upgrade listener

Layer / File(s) Summary
Qualify and route raw upgrade requests
crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/raw_upgrade.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs
The raw path recognizes an upgrade token in the Connection header and requires an Upgrade header. It includes WebSocket requests with Sec-WebSocket-Key. Tests cover WebSocket and ordinary requests; comments describe the raw-listener path.
Pass upgrade-head bytes as a buffer
crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/upgrade.rs, changelog.d/11084-http-websocket-upgrade-listener.md
The listener receives the head as a Perry buffer. Empty heads remain empty buffers, and non-UTF-8 bytes are preserved. The changelog records the listener behavior.

Some valid WebSocket upgrades can receive a 101 response without giving the JavaScript server the socket it needs to establish the connection. Fix both routing paths before merging.

Explanation

[#10898] The raw upgrade path sends WebSocket handshakes with JavaScript upgrade listeners to a net.Socket, and the PR summary reports that the public ws server connection callback now runs. The summary also reports a remaining client send() constructor error after open. The expected message receipt and echo therefore remain unverified and the reported fixture still does not complete the issue’s required end-to-end exchange.

🟠 Major · Hand off reused-connection upgrades before Hyper sends a response. · server.rs:1288-1291

crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs:1288-1291
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Hand off reused-connection upgrades before Hyper sends a response.

When the first request is ordinary, the raw peek passes the connection to Hyper and does not run again. A later WebSocket request with an upgrade listener can reach this branch and call handle_websocket_upgrade. That handler sends HTTP 101, then queues a ws_id with raw_socket_id: 0. The JavaScript 'upgrade' callback still runs, but it does not receive the raw socket needed to own the handshake. Route later upgrades through a raw-socket handoff before Hyper writes a response. Keep the native handler for an attached native WebSocket server. Simply removing has_upgrade_listeners from this condition would instead send the request through ordinary request dispatch.

Preserve duplicate Connection values when classifying raw upgrades.

When a request has Connection: Upgrade followed by Connection: keep-alive, parse_head keeps only keep-alive, so the raw-upgrade check passes the request to hyper. For a valid WebSocket request with a key, hyper can send its own 101 response and queue the listener event with a WebSocket ID instead of the raw socket. Combine Connection values before checking the token, and test this field order.
