fix(http): stop buffering whole bodies on the range-GET header fallback - #905
Conversation
GatewaysRootTxIndex and ChunkMetadataAnchorSource fall back to a `Range: bytes=0-0` GET when a peer's HEAD is unusable, and only need that response's headers. Both fetched the body with `responseType: 'arraybuffer'` and axios's default `maxContentLength` of -1, so a peer that ignores the range and answers 200 had its whole response buffered in memory, bounded only by the request timeout. Measured locally: a 300 MiB body was fully buffered. Receive the body as a stream and hand it to a new `discardResponseBody` helper, which: - reads a body of up to 64 KiB to the end, so a keep-alive socket is reused exactly as it was after a buffered read (closing every stream would force a new connection per fallback); - destroys a larger body, a body still arriving after the request timeout, or a failing stream, closing the connection instead of downloading it; - never rejects, and leaves an error listener so a late stream error can't go unhandled. GatewaysRootTxIndex also discards the body of an error response, which its axios instance rejects with the stream still unread. ChunkMetadataAnchorSource re-checks its abort signal after discarding, because a buffered read used to reject when aborted mid-body. Tests run both callers against a real HTTP server with the real axios instances: a peer that ignores the range, including an error status, is no longer read in full, and a peer that honours it keeps a single keep-alive connection across lookups. Restoring the buffered read fails the first group; destroying every body fails the second.

- Line 388: Update discardResponseBody to install its persistent error listener
before checking body.destroyed or body.readableEnded, while preserving the
existing non-Readable guard and cleanup behavior. Add a regression test that
destroys the stream with an error before invoking discardResponseBody and
verifies the error is handled.

`Readable.destroy(error)` marks a stream destroyed immediately but emits its 'error' event on a later tick. discardResponseBody returned early for a destroyed stream before attaching its error listener, so a body destroyed with an error just before the call raised an uncaught exception. Reproduced: `destroy(new Error(...))` followed by discardResponseBody crashed with that error. Attach the listener first, then return for a destroyed or ended stream. The new regression test fails without the reordering. Reported by CodeRabbit on #905.

Problem
When a peer's HEAD is unusable,
GatewaysRootTxIndexandChunkMetadataAnchorSourcefall back to aRange: bytes=0-0GET, and only use that response's headers. Both requests usedresponseType: 'arraybuffer'with axios's defaultmaxContentLength: -1.A peer that ignores the range and answers
200therefore had its whole response buffered, limited only by the request timeout (10 s and 5 s). Measured locally: a 300 MiB body was buffered in full.Both callers only talk to operator-configured trusted gateways, so this needs a misbehaving gateway, or a CDN in front of one. It's a bounded risk, not an outage.
Fix
Both requests now receive the body as a stream and pass it to a new helper,
discardResponseBodyinsrc/lib/http-utils.ts:Kept identical on purpose:
GatewaysRootTxIndexalso discards the body of an error response. Its axios instance rejects on non-2xx and would otherwise leave that stream unread.ChunkMetadataAnchorSourcere-checks its abort signal after discarding. The buffered read used to reject when aborted mid-body.Tests
New tests run both callers against a real HTTP server with the real axios instances, not mocks:
500error body (root TX index)The first two columns come from mutation runs against the same tests.
discardResponseBodyalso has unit tests covering: a small body read to the end, a large body destroyed, a body that never ends, a failing stream, non-stream input, and an already-ended stream.Verification
