Summary

  • Fixes hard crash in Node.js 24+ when handling aborted HTTP/1 requests
  • Replaces unconditional res.stream.close() call with conditional logic
  • Uses res.stream.destroy() for HTTP/1 streams that don't have a close method
  • Maintains backward compatibility for HTTP/2 streams

Problem

Issue #428 reported crashes with error res.stream.close is not a function when using Node.js 24+ with HTTP/1 connections. The problem occurs when requests are aborted and the code tries to call close() on streams that only have a destroy() method.

Solution

Added conditional logic to check:

  1. If it's an HTTP/2 stream AND close method exists → use res.stream.close(NGHTTP2_CANCEL)
  2. Otherwise, if destroy method exists → use res.stream.destroy()

Test plan

  • Added test test/http1-aborted-request-fix-428.test.js to verify aborted request handling
  • Verified fix prevents "close is not a function" errors
  • Confirmed existing functionality remains intact
  • Linting passes
