macOS rejects `setsockopt` with EINVAL once the peer has reset the connection. When this happened while sending request headers on a reused connection, the client saw `Invalid argument`, which `is-close-exception_` doesn't recognize, so the request wasn't retried even with `--retry-on-connection-close`. This made `client-request-retry-test` flaky on macOS (seen on #174: https://github.com/toitlang/pkg-http/actions/runs/37032094927/job/110921188938). Both TCP_NODELAY changes in `send-headers` now go through a helper that reports this error as `Connection closed`. Other errors propagate unchanged, and the existing cleanup from #172 still closes the connection.
Masking built each chunk with a per-byte block call. Copy the chunk with write-to-byte-array and XOR it with the blit-based helper the reader already uses for unmasking. Reuse one scratch buffer per write, since the TCP and TLS writers copy the data before returning. Move the helper to a top-level mask-bytes_, since it now serves both directions.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. WalkthroughThis change updates HTTP framing, URI parsing, redirect credential handling, and connection cleanup. It also updates WebSocket shutdown and frame masking, with tests for these behaviors. ChangesHTTP and WebSocket protocol handling
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change tightens HTTP framing, filters standard credential headers on cross-origin redirects, and improves WebSocket masking and cleanup. Two redirect hardening suggestions remain: limiting custom headers across origins and rejecting HTTPS-to-HTTP POST redirects. Both behaviors already existed before this change and are worth following up, but they do not block merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The redirect changes reduce credential exposure and preserve caller-owned headers. Two reportable disclosure paths remain: custom sensitive headers can follow cross-origin redirects, and method-preserving redirects can resend HTTPS request bodies over HTTP. Both paths predate this PR; the examined changes do not widen their exposure. Retained concerns Security review detailsSecurity Blast Radius

- Around line 639-641: Update the redirect handling in post_ around
get-location_ to reject HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades before replaying the POST body
by default; allow them only when the caller explicitly authorizes the downgrade.
- Around line 449-452: Update redirect-headers_ to prevent caller-supplied
custom credentials from being forwarded when a redirect changes connection.
Restrict forwarded headers to a safe allowlist or require explicit opt-in for
custom headers, while preserving the existing handling of Authorization,
Proxy-Authorization, and Cookie.

CWE: CWE-200 — Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Restrict custom headers on cross-origin redirects.
When the redirect target uses a different connection, redirect-headers_ removes only Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, and Cookie. Connection.new-request preserves the remaining headers, and Headers.write-to serializes every entry. A caller-supplied X-Api-Key or similar credential can therefore reach an attacker-controlled redirect destination. Restrict cross-origin forwarding to safe headers or require explicit opt-in for custom headers.

Reject HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects before replaying the POST body.
post_ preserves the POST method and body for regular redirects. The redirect creates a new plaintext connection when the destination uses HTTP. Reject this downgrade by default, or require explicit caller authorization.

Add a segmented-reader regression that preserves NEXT.
Conflicting or invalid Content-Length values produce ambiguous framing: Reject duplicate lengths, simultaneous Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length, and non-decimal length syntax; apply validation to requests and responses and close connections on response parsing failures. Tests include conflicting/equal duplicates, signs, underscores, hex notation, and response cleanup.
Fixed-length writers send bytes beyond the declared body length: Reject writes exceeding the remaining declared length before any extra bytes reach the transport; add a regression that verifies the transport contains only ab.
Redirects forward origin credentials to other hosts: Copy and remove Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, and Cookie when a redirect changes the connection origin. Preserve caller headers and credentials for the same origin. Cover GET/POST and 303/307 redirects, including POST-to-GET transitions.
HEAD, 304, and interim responses are framed as response bodies: Pass the request method when reading responses, use empty bodies for HEAD/1xx/204/304, and skip interim statuses except protocol upgrade. Suppress the server response body for HEAD so its existing 405 response remains correctly framed. Test connection reuse after these responses.
Chunk extensions and trailers break valid chunked messages: Parse and validate the hexadecimal size separately from ignored extensions, consume optional trailer lines through the terminating empty line, and verify that the next message remains unread.
Headers.remove does not normalize names: Apply the same ASCII normalization used by insertion and lookup before removal.
WebSocket control writes release the message semaphore twice: Release the message semaphore only when the closing writer is the current message writer. Add independent ping and close-write regressions.
Empty WebSocket continuation fragments truncate a message: Continue advancing through empty fragments until payload or the actual message end is reached.
The final client WebSocket continuation frame lacks a mask: Use the client mask flag and four freshly generated mask bytes for the empty terminal frame; cover wire framing and subsequent payload/control behavior in regression tests.
IPv6 Host headers omit required address brackets: Bracket IPv6 literals when formatting the authority, with regression coverage for default and non-default ports.
URI parsing mishandles query-only and fragment-only references: Separate fragments and queries before parsing authority/path, retain the previous resource and query for empty or fragment-only references, replace only the query for query-only references, and preserve explicit empty query/fragment values. Extend parser regressions for absolute URLs, IPv6, network references, relative paths, delimiter-containing queries/fragments, and redirect inheritance.
Client WebSocket masking keys are predictable: Generate fresh four-byte keys with the SDK crypto.random API for every client frame, including controls and empty final continuations. XOR payload bytes in buffers of at most 1024 bytes without modifying callers, preserving mask offset across writes. Independent wire decoding tests cover random-key freshness, UTF-8 byte slices, short transport writes, length encodings through 65536 bytes, fragmented messages, queued/immediate ping, automatic pong, close, and unmasked server frames. Verified on alpha.190.
WebSocket shutdown errors skip transport and writer cleanup: Track write/full closure, always abort/release resources in full-close finally, release active writers on half-close failure, and make cleanup idempotent. Preserve reads after successful half-close. Handle full close interleaving with the close-frame write or the underlying shutdown without issuing another shutdown against a released transport.
Response cleanup dereferences a detached or previously cleared connection: Recognize null connections in error and normal cleanup; preserve the detached socket for its new owner and propagate the handler error. Commit detached state only after the underlying detach succeeds, reject repeat detach with ALREADY_CLOSED, and invalidate response output on successful transfer.
Failed WebSocket frame writes strand the message semaphore: Release the constructor permit in finally if construction fails. Abort an unusable transport on frame write/close failure, preserving the original exception; invalidate retained writers and release only the owning message permit. Reject new sends on closed write directions and clear the reader on full close.
HTTP connection close errors leave stale ownership and failed shutdowns leave sockets open: Clear connection ownership and remove the finalizer before closing the captured socket; close the captured body writer in finally. If write shutdown fails while a reader is active, fully close the connection while preserving the original shutdown exception.
