Ciro Spaciari 63a323a511 fix(http): don't enter tunnel mode for proxy-style absolute URLs in request line (#26737)
## Summary

Fixes a bug where sequential HTTP requests with proxy-style absolute
URLs (e.g. `GET http://example.com/path HTTP/1.1`) hang on the 2nd+
request when using keep-alive connections.

## Root Cause

In `packages/bun-uws/src/HttpParser.h`, the parser was treating
proxy-style absolute URLs identically to `CONNECT` method requests —
setting `isConnectRequest = true` and entering tunnel mode. This flag
was never reset between requests on the same keep-alive connection, so
the 2nd+ request was swallowed as raw tunnel data instead of being
parsed as HTTP.

## Fix

3-line change in `HttpParser.h:569`:
- **`isConnect`**: Now only matches actual `CONNECT` method requests
(removed `isHTTPorHTTPSPrefixForProxies` from the condition)
- **`isProxyStyleURL`**: New variable that detects `http://`/`https://`
prefixes and accepts them as valid request targets — without triggering
tunnel mode

## Who was affected

- Any Bun HTTP server (`Bun.serve()` or `node:http createServer`)
receiving proxy-style requests on keep-alive connections
- HTTP proxy servers built with Bun could only handle one request per
connection
- Bun's own HTTP client making sequential requests through an HTTP proxy
backed by a Bun server

## Test

Added `test/js/node/http/node-http-proxy-url.test.ts` with 3 test cases:
1. Sequential GET requests with absolute URL paths
2. Sequential POST requests with absolute URL paths
3. Mixed normal and proxy-style URLs

Tests run under both Node.js and Bun for compatibility verification.

-  Fails with system bun (2/3 tests timeout on 2nd request)
-  Passes with debug build (3/3 tests pass)

description: Parse and render Markdown with Bun's built-in Markdown API, supporting GFM extensions and custom rendering callbacks
---
<Callout type="note">
**Unstable API** — This API is under active development and may change in future versions of Bun.
</Callout>
Bun includes a fast, built-in Markdown parser written in Zig. It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions and provides three APIs:
- `Bun.markdown.html()` — render Markdown to an HTML string
- `Bun.markdown.render()` — render Markdown with custom callbacks for each element
- `Bun.markdown.react()` — render Markdown to React JSX elements
---
## `Bun.markdown.html()`
Convert a Markdown string to HTML.
```ts
const html = Bun.markdown.html("# Hello **world**");
// "<h1>Hello <strong>world</strong></h1>\n"
```
GFM extensions like tables, strikethrough, and task lists are enabled by default:
```ts
const html = Bun.markdown.html(`
| Feature | Status |
|-------------|--------|
| Tables | ~~done~~ |
| Strikethrough| ~~done~~ |
| Task lists | done |
`);
```
### Options
Pass an options object as the second argument to configure the parser:
```ts
const html = Bun.markdown.html("some markdown", {
tables: true, // GFM tables (default: true)
strikethrough: true, // GFM strikethrough (default: true)
tasklists: true, // GFM task lists (default: true)
tagFilter: true, // GFM tag filter for disallowed HTML tags
autolinks: true, // Autolink URLs, emails, and www. links
});
```
All available options:
| Option | Default | Description |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `tables` | `false` | GFM tables |
| `strikethrough` | `false` | GFM strikethrough (`~~text~~`) |
| `tasklists` | `false` | GFM task lists (`- [x] item`) |
| `autolinks` | `false` | Enable autolinks — see [Autolinks](#autolinks) |
| `headings` | `false` | Heading IDs and autolinks — see [Heading IDs](#heading-ids) |
| `hardSoftBreaks` | `false` | Treat soft line breaks as hard breaks |
| `wikiLinks` | `false` | Enable `[[wiki links]]` |
| `underline` | `false` | `__text__` renders as `<u>` instead of `<strong>` |
| `latexMath` | `false` | Enable `$inline$` and `$$display$$` math |
| `collapseWhitespace` | `false` | Collapse whitespace in text |
| `permissiveAtxHeaders` | `false` | ATX headers without space after `#` |
| `noIndentedCodeBlocks` | `false` | Disable indented code blocks |
| `noHtmlBlocks` | `false` | Disable HTML blocks |
| `noHtmlSpans` | `false` | Disable inline HTML |
| `tagFilter` | `false` | GFM tag filter for disallowed HTML tags |
#### Autolinks
Pass `true` to enable all autolink types, or an object for granular control:
```ts
// Enable all autolinks (URL, WWW, email)
Bun.markdown.html("Visit www.example.com", { autolinks: true });
// Enable only specific types
Bun.markdown.html("Visit www.example.com", {
autolinks: { url: true, www: true },
});
```
#### Heading IDs
Pass `true` to enable both heading IDs and autolink headings, or an object for granular control:
```ts
// Enable heading IDs and autolink headings
Bun.markdown.html("## Hello World", { headings: true });
// '<h2 id="hello-world"><a href="#hello-world">Hello World</a></h2>\n'
// Enable only heading IDs (no autolink)
Bun.markdown.html("## Hello World", { headings: { ids: true } });
// '<h2 id="hello-world">Hello World</h2>\n'
```
---
## `Bun.markdown.render()`
Parse Markdown and render it using custom JavaScript callbacks. This gives you full control over the output format — you can generate HTML with custom classes, React elements, ANSI terminal output, or any other string format.
```ts
const result = Bun.markdown.render("# Hello **world**", {
heading: (children, { level }) => `<h${level} class="title">${children}</h${level}>`,
strong: children => `<b>${children}</b>`,
paragraph: children => `<p>${children}</p>`,
});
// '<h1 class="title">Hello <b>world</b></h1>'
```
### Callback signature
Each callback receives:
1. **`children`** — the accumulated content of the element as a string
2. **`meta`** (optional) — an object with element-specific metadata
Return a string to replace the element's rendering. Return `null` or `undefined` to omit the element from the output entirely. If no callback is registered for an element, its children pass through unchanged.
### Block callbacks
| Callback | Meta | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `heading` | `{ level: number, id?: string }` | Heading level 16. `id` is set when `headings: { ids: true }` is enabled |
| `paragraph` | — | Paragraph block |
| `blockquote` | — | Blockquote block |
| `code` | `{ language?: string }` | Fenced or indented code block. `language` is the info-string when specified on the fence |
| `list` | `{ ordered: boolean, start?: number }` | Ordered or unordered list. `start` is the start number for ordered lists |
| `listItem` | `{ checked?: boolean }` | List item. `checked` is set for task list items (`- [x]` / `- [ ]`) |
| `hr` | — | Horizontal rule |
| `table` | — | Table block |
| `thead` | — | Table head |
| `tbody` | — | Table body |
| `tr` | — | Table row |
| `th` | `{ align?: "left" \| "center" \| "right" }` | Table header cell. `align` is set when alignment is specified |
| `td` | `{ align?: "left" \| "center" \| "right" }` | Table data cell. `align` is set when alignment is specified |
| `html` | — | Raw HTML content |
### Inline callbacks
| Callback | Meta | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `strong` | — | Strong emphasis (`**text**`) |
| `emphasis` | — | Emphasis (`*text*`) |
| `link` | `{ href: string, title?: string }` | Link |
| `image` | `{ src: string, title?: string }` | Image |
| `codespan` | — | Inline code (`` `code` ``) |
| `strikethrough` | — | Strikethrough (`~~text~~`) |
| `text` | — | Plain text content |
### Examples
#### Custom HTML with classes
```ts
const html = Bun.markdown.render("# Title\n\nHello **world**", {
heading: (children, { level }) => `<h${level} class="heading heading-${level}">${children}</h${level}>`,
paragraph: children => `<p class="body">${children}</p>`,
strong: children => `<strong class="bold">${children}</strong>`,
});
```
#### Stripping all formatting
```ts
const plaintext = Bun.markdown.render("# Hello **world**", {
heading: children => children,
paragraph: children => children,
strong: children => children,
emphasis: children => children,
link: children => children,
image: () => "",
code: children => children,
codespan: children => children,
});
// "Hello world"
```
#### Omitting elements
Return `null` or `undefined` to remove an element from the output:
```ts
const result = Bun.markdown.render("# Title\n\n![logo](img.png)\n\nHello", {
image: () => null, // Remove all images
heading: children => children,
paragraph: children => children + "\n",
});
// "Title\nHello\n"
```
#### ANSI terminal output
```ts
const ansi = Bun.markdown.render("# Hello\n\nThis is **bold** and *italic*", {
heading: (children, { level }) => `\x1b[1;4m${children}\x1b[0m\n`,
paragraph: children => children + "\n",
strong: children => `\x1b[1m${children}\x1b[22m`,
emphasis: children => `\x1b[3m${children}\x1b[23m`,
});
```
#### Code block syntax highlighting
````ts
const result = Bun.markdown.render("```js\nconsole.log('hi')\n```", {
code: (children, meta) => {
const lang = meta?.language ?? "";
return `<pre><code class="language-${lang}">${children}</code></pre>`;
},
});
````
### Parser options
Parser options are passed as a separate third argument:
```ts
const result = Bun.markdown.render(
"Visit www.example.com",
{
link: (children, { href }) => `[${children}](${href})`,
paragraph: children => children,
},
{ autolinks: true },
);
```
---
## `Bun.markdown.react()`
Render Markdown directly to React elements. Returns a `<Fragment>` that you can use as a component return value.
```tsx
function Markdown({ text }: { text: string }) {
return Bun.markdown.react(text);
}
```
### Server-side rendering
Works with `renderToString()` and React Server Components:
```tsx
import { renderToString } from "react-dom/server";
const html = renderToString(Bun.markdown.react("# Hello **world**"));
// "<h1>Hello <strong>world</strong></h1>"
```
### Component overrides
Replace any HTML element with a custom React component by passing it in the second argument, keyed by tag name:
```tsx
function Code({ language, children }) {
return (
<pre data-language={language}>
<code>{children}</code>
</pre>
);
}
function Link({ href, title, children }) {
return (
<a href={href} title={title} target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
{children}
</a>
);
}
function Heading({ id, children }) {
return (
<h2 id={id}>
<a href={`#${id}`}>{children}</a>
</h2>
);
}
const el = Bun.markdown.react(
content,
{
pre: Code,
a: Link,
h2: Heading,
},
{ headings: { ids: true } },
);
```
#### Available overrides
Every HTML tag produced by the parser can be overridden:
| Option | Props | Description |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `h1``h6` | `{ id?, children }` | Headings. `id` is set when `headings: { ids: true }` is enabled |
| `p` | `{ children }` | Paragraph |
| `blockquote` | `{ children }` | Blockquote |
| `pre` | `{ language?, children }` | Code block. `language` is the info string (e.g. `"js"`) |
| `hr` | `{}` | Horizontal rule (no children) |
| `ul` | `{ children }` | Unordered list |
| `ol` | `{ start, children }` | Ordered list. `start` is the first item number |
| `li` | `{ checked?, children }` | List item. `checked` is set for task list items |
| `table` | `{ children }` | Table |
| `thead` | `{ children }` | Table head |
| `tbody` | `{ children }` | Table body |
| `tr` | `{ children }` | Table row |
| `th` | `{ align?, children }` | Table header cell |
| `td` | `{ align?, children }` | Table data cell |
| `em` | `{ children }` | Emphasis (`*text*`) |
| `strong` | `{ children }` | Strong (`**text**`) |
| `a` | `{ href, title?, children }` | Link |
| `img` | `{ src, alt?, title? }` | Image (no children) |
| `code` | `{ children }` | Inline code |
| `del` | `{ children }` | Strikethrough (`~~text~~`) |
| `br` | `{}` | Hard line break (no children) |
### React 18 and older
By default, elements use `Symbol.for('react.transitional.element')` as the `$$typeof` symbol. For React 18 and older, pass `reactVersion: 18` in the options (third argument):
```tsx
function Markdown({ text }: { text: string }) {
return Bun.markdown.react(text, undefined, { reactVersion: 18 });
}
```
### Parser options
All [parser options](#options) are passed as the third argument:
```tsx
const el = Bun.markdown.react("## Hello World", undefined, {
headings: { ids: true },
autolinks: true,
});
```
