Error if message is bigger than Content-Length by betochf · Pull Request #39133 · nodejs/node

betochf · 2021-06-24T05:14:58Z

Pr for issue #39041

The test for the changes is very simple, it just contains a 200 request with a header specifying the "Content-Lenght", in this case with a size of 2 bytes, with a response of 4 so the error could be triggered.

tests:

If we change the value of the Content-Lenght for the actual one or a bigger one, we have no error.
Finally, we do a request with no headers just to prove that the code still running, even with the new #changes.

Suggested change

ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_HEADER

ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH,

nit: Could this list also be sorted in alphabetical order?

Ok, thanks for the feedback, would make the changes

Would also be nice if you check content length in .end() to make sure not to few bytes have been written as well.

Hey @ronag for .end(), how many bytes would be a good amount so the error is not triggered?
I was thinking that it should be at least half of the size of the Content-Length

If it doesn’t match content length then error

Suggested change

if (key === 'Content-Length') {

if (key.toLowerCase() === 'content-length') {

It's important to note here that all headers are represented in lower-case only, regardless of how the client actually sent them. This simplifies the task of parsing headers for whatever purpose.

+  if (name === 'content-length') {
+    this._contentLength = NumberParseInt(value);
+  }


Why? Isn’t store header enough?

Oh sorry, shouldn't be there, my mistake

I checked the code again and store header is not enough, the Content-length is not set when setHeader is used... I think it happens because it never goes throw processHeader

Putting inside the validation function is wrong though.

It seemed right sorry, I'll create a new function for the validating the content length

A lot of unrelated doc changes...

@betochf Could you please rebase and resolve the merge conflicts?

betochf · 2021-07-05T16:05:10Z

@RaisinTen done, it was an error in the Doc

Unrelated change

+1. By the way, are changes in doc/api/errors.md also required? It seems like most of them are unrelated to an issue as well.

You can combine these two if statements

+    if (msg[kBytesWritten] > msg._contentLength) {
+      throw new ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH(msg._contentLength, msg[kBytesWritten]);
+    }
+  }


Why is this check needed if you already have it below?

ronag

Needs more tests.

betochf · 2021-07-09T22:14:31Z

@ronag I did the changes... which other tests should I try?

Ayase-252 · 2021-08-12T09:50:08Z

I think 3 tests should be added at least:

when actual length is mismatched (more or less) with Content-Length, it should throw;
when Content-Length is negative, it should throw;

ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE could be used instead.

      this.socket.cork();
    }

+    const byteCount = (this[kBytesWritten] + chunk.length);


This may not be entirely accurate in every case due to content encoding. For instance, if I pass in w.end('afef', 'hex'), I'm only writing 2 bytes. The calculation here needs to take into consideration the encoding and the actual byte length.

} else msg = 'more';

const msg = byteCount < contentLength ? 'less' : 'more';
