Closed DDtKey closed 1 year ago
Hey, thanks for the PR! Hm, I'd love to understand this better. I think the current behavior is correct, that if the server sends a CANCEL
reset, we should return an "error" that includes that the stream is canceled. It's not saying that it's a huge internal error, but it is different from the normal Ok
case, no?
Not really π€
This is a legal situation where the data has been fully received and server has also returned the CANCEL code.
But now, the client receives the entire data and returns an error during the polling the stream, although in fact it was polled to the end.
Although the name of code is contradictory, this code only says that the stream is no longer needed. It looks consistent with the state graph.
Hi. I want to add a few details since we worked with @DDtKey on this issue. We met a flaky integration test, where we sent a large request from reqwest
to a poem
web server (based on hyper). In some circumstances, we got the canceled
error instead of the expected 413
error. The problem existed on CI, but not locally. However, when we changed the reactor to current-thread
or limited the number of threads to 1
, it started to reliable reproduce locally as well. Wireshark has shown that the response was entirely generated, and the stream was CANCEL
ed after that. We used the HTTPS
endpoint, so we decrypt the traffic with pre-master keys.
The data was fully sent, and the content-length
was also correct. However, the client returned the error here. The first chunk contained only a part of the data.
Applying the patch above reliably fixes the problem.
To be clear, reqwest
successfully received headers and formed the rewest::Response
.
But when we tried to get the response body (reqwest::Response::bytes()
-> hyper::to_bytes()
-> .. ), we got this behavior. The data was received, but the client returned an error even though the stream was actually polled to the end (i watched it with debugger, second chunk was correctly filled).
The RST_STREAM
with CANCEL
code looks acceptable to gracefully end the stream in such case
I see, I think I understand the issue now. The problem isn't so much about CANCEL
specifically, it's that if a stream is reset, even though some data was received already, the reset code trumps getting anymore of the data out. I think what we want to do is allow a user to poll more data out of the buffer, and only when there is nothing left, then check if there is an error code. That would handle any reset code. What do you think?
Looks good to me. However, I'm still thinking that, in accordance with spec, CANCEL
should be treated as a closed channel, rather than an error. So, in my opinion, both approaches may be implemented.
@glebpom While I understand that applications may want to handle these cases similarly--and I agree it's important to fix the current behavior--I think it would be bad if we lost the ability to differentiate a CANCEL
from an END_STREAM
.
For example, imagine if a proxy is transporting a HTTP/2 stream. We'd want the proxy to propagate the CANCEL
reset and not simply treat it as an END_STREAM
, right? If the library treats these cases identically, it would be impossible for such a proxy to preserve the original server behavior.
@olix0r Ok, that makes sense. Seems like on the h2
layer the CANCEL
error should propagate. π
It looks good to me too. But how do you propose to implement it? π€
A long time has passed since we discussed the bug. We observed the same problem a few more times with different client implementations on the unpatched h2 versions. So, what would be the plan to fix it on a hyper level properly? Is there an issue in the hyper repo we can link to? Or can we go with the patch in h2? Thanks.
Hi, @seanmonstar @olix0r. Any updates on this? Thanks
@seanmonstar I noticed several usages of ensure_recv_open()
which doesn't check result of the function, it's bool and looks like false
is just ignored in some places. And one test is just hanging.
This can be an issue even without this fix, because there is another match-branch in master: Closed(Cause::EndStream) | HalfClosedRemote(..) | ReservedLocal => Ok(false)
So it seems for me logic is incorrect right now, I'm created separate PR to address this: #687 With these changes it works fine and tests are passing. I'm merged that PR to this one to keep this one working.
After testing the case against latest h2
- this patch doesn't seem to work after https://github.com/hyperium/h2/pull/634
Now the h2
uses Reset(NO_ERROR)
- what's actually seems correct, but probably it should be fixed on hyper
side, because this causes error on client side:
hyper::Error(Body, Error { kind: Reset(StreamId(3), NO_ERROR, Remote) })

I'm closing this PR because the way to fix should be different now.
UPD: looks like itβs directly related to https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/issues/2872
According to HTTP/2, the
CANCEL
code only indicates that the stream is no longer needed.CANCEL (0x8): Used by the endpoint to indicate that the stream is no longer needed.
But when the client receives the response body data and the
CANCEL
code from the server, it returns an error. Error example withhyper
:This happens due to incorrect checking of an open stream:: link
