📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HTTP interceptor now handles successful CONNECT responses as tunnels for mocked and passed-through connections. The network interceptor also supports TLS connections created with a supplied socket.

Changes

HTTP Tunnels and TLS Socket Interception

Layer / File(s) Summary
CONNECT parsing and tunnel handling
src/interceptors/http/http-parser.ts, src/interceptors/http/source.ts, test/modules/http/compliance/http-connect-tunnel.test.ts, discoveries/architecture.md
Successful CONNECT responses are parsed as tunnel upgrades. The source retargets connections and handles subsequent tunnel traffic for mocked and passed-through responses. Compliance tests cover HTTP and HTTPS tunnels through real and mocked proxies. Architecture notes describe the tunnel handling and test map.
Socket controller lifecycle
src/interceptors/net/socket-controller.ts
The controller adds retargeting and transport creation. It adjusts connection emulation, handle swapping, and TLS handshake handling.
TLS interception over supplied sockets
src/interceptors/net/index.ts, test/modules/net/compliance/tls-provided-socket.test.ts
The network interceptor handles TLS sockets layered over intercepted transports. The provided-socket TLS test is enabled and includes a pass-through test.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — src (service) was modified; 4 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — test (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — discoveries (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in discoveries/architecture.md: The boundary notes now cover real-proxy as well as mocked successful CONNECT tunnels, distinguish passthrough routing through a real tunnel from direct target dialing for a mocked tunnel, and add tunneled TLS, protocol detection, and client half-close requirements. They also specify construction-time interception and transport-controller-based passthrough for tls.connect({ socket }).
  • observed — Modified behavior in discoveries/architecture.md: The parsing, tunnel, and upgrade test-map entry now includes the CONNECT tunnel compliance suite and the TLS provided-socket compliance suite.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/interceptors/http/http-parser.ts: HttpRequestParser now resolves CONNECT targets as /${path}; other methods continue resolving path || '' against the connection URL.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/interceptors/http/http-parser.ts: HttpResponseParser constructor options add an optional method identifying the request answered by the response.

Explanation

The pull request adds broad HTTP CONNECT tunnel production handling in http-parser.ts, source.ts, and socket-controller.ts, plus a dedicated 267-line CONNECT compliance suite. Issue [#807] requires TLS over a caller-provided socket and does not require HTTP CONNECT tunnel interception. The related pull request reference does not establish scope.

Review comments at @src/interceptors/net/socket-controller.ts:
- Around line 1512-1523: Restrict the delayed emulateConnectIfIdle check in the
TlsSocketController constructor to layered TLS sockets, so regular tls.connect()
does not schedule it before socket.connect(). Also guard emulateConnectIfIdle
against repeated emulation after connecting becomes false, preventing duplicate
connect events and allowing claim() to complete.

23-47: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a passthrough test for tls.connect({ socket }).

The enabled test calls controller.claim(), so it covers only the mocked branch. The existing TLS passthrough test uses tls.connect({ host, port }) and does not provide a transport socket. A regression in the provided-socket passthrough path could therefore pass the current tests while failing to exchange application data over the real TCP socket.

Add a local TLS server test that calls controller.passthrough(), passes a connected net.Socket to tls.connect({ socket }), and asserts both secureConnect and application data in both directions.
