Problem

• A node:https request through a proxy ends in an uncaught exception when tls.connect() rejects a TLS option, for example TypeError: TLSv9 is not a valid minimum TLS protocol version or a wrong key passphrase. The request emits no 'error' and no 'close', and the proxy connection stays open.
• Cause: establishTunnel() calls tls.connect() after the proxy answers the CONNECT (src/js/node/https.ts:200), when https.request() has returned.

Fix

• Port of https: handle invalid TLS options in proxied requests nodejs/node#66096: catch the throw, destroy the proxy socket, and give the error to the tunnel callback. The request emits 'error', then 'close'.
• Correct: for values that Node v27 nightly also rejects, events and process.nextTick turn are equal.
• Verified: 16 new tests in test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts fail on main. Also the upstream test, unchanged.
• Self-reviewed: 14 concerns raised, 11 addressed. Notes name the other 3.

Background

• With a proxy (proxyEnv, NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1), https.Agent sends CONNECT host:port. After a 200, establishTunnel() starts TLS to the target over that socket with tls.connect({ socket }).
• Considered a guard around the whole tunnel step (one closure more per tunnel) and a close in cleanupAndPropagate (skipped for a falsy thrown value).

Downsides

• No Node release has this change yet. Node main and v26.x-staging have it. node:http: rewrite the client on net/tls + llhttp (Node http suite: ~55% → 82.3%, +182 vendored tests, client proxy support) #31587 says the client port follows the latest release, so a maintainer must accept this exception, or hold the PR.
• +125 B of binary text and +1 bytecode instruction per new proxy tunnel. No new allocation, tick or listener.
• Not covered: an option that tls.connect() rejects after it returns (secureContext: { context: {} }). The proxy connection stays open.

Notes

Reproduction

// bun repro.mjs  /  node repro.mjs   (with HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY unset)
import https from "node:https";
import net from "node:net";
const proxy = net.createServer(socket => {
  socket.on("error", () => {});
  socket.once("data", () => socket.write("HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established\r\n\r\n"));
});
await new Promise(resolve => proxy.listen(0, "127.0.0.1", resolve));
const events = [];
process.on("uncaughtException", err => events.push(`uncaughtException ${err.code}`));
const agent = new https.Agent({ proxyEnv: { https_proxy: `http://127.0.0.1:${proxy.address().port}` } });
const req = https.get({ host: "example.invalid", port: 443, path: "/", agent, minVersion: "TLSv9" });
req.on("error", err => events.push(`error ${err.code}`));
req.on("close", () => events.push("close"));
setTimeout(() => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(events));
  process.exit(0);
}, 1500);

Runtime	Output
Bun 1.4.2	["uncaughtException ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION"]
main 5a183c1	["uncaughtException ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION"]
Node v26.3.0	["uncaughtException ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION"]
This PR	["error ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION","close"]
Node v27.0.0-nightly20260928b59840b593	["error ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION","close"]

• With no uncaughtException handler the process exits with code 1. When the entry module waits in a top-level await, the process prints the exception and does not exit. Top level await causes promise rejections inside global.setTimeout to be ignored, allowing execution to continue #22546 and bun run: end the entry's top-level await when a fatal error ends the run #42686 are open for that.
• The same request under NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 with HTTPS_PROXY: main and Node v26.3.0 exit with code 1. This PR and the Node nightly print ["error ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION","close"] and exit with code 0.
• The tunnel is in Bun since node:http: rewrite the client on net/tls + llhttp (Node http suite: ~55% → 82.3%, +182 vendored tests, client proxy support) #31587 (c4a937c), so Bun 1.4.0, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 have the uncaught exception. I found no issue that reports it.

Who hits it

• An https.Agent with proxyEnv, the global agent under NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 with HTTPS_PROXY, and http.setGlobalProxyFromEnv(). An http:// proxy and an https:// proxy.
• A request that waited behind maxTotalSockets, and a direct call of agent.createConnection(options, callback).
• Of 34 invalid option values that I probed, 23 ended in the uncaught exception on main. Examples: minVersion, maxVersion, secureProtocol, ciphers: 123, key, cert or ca of a wrong type, a key that is not a PEM, checkServerIdentity that is not a function. With this PR the count is 0, and all 23 give 'error', then 'close', and a closed proxy connection. A key with a wrong passphrase gives the same result.
• For 18 of the 23, the error code and the events equal the Node nightly. For ALPNProtocols: 123, secureOptions: "x" and servername: 123, Bun's tls.connect() throws an error with another code. Node accepts passphrase: 123. For highWaterMark: "x" the Node nightly has a second exception that is uncaught, and Bun has none.
• Programs that are correct on Node also reach it, because Bun's tls.connect() rejects values that Node accepts. ciphers: "DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=0": Node starts the handshake, main throws ERR_SSL_INVALID_COMMAND uncaught, this PR gives it to the request. tls.DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE = "X25519:X448" with no TLS option on the request: Node starts the handshake, main throws ERR_CRYPTO_OPERATION_FAILED uncaught, this PR gives it to the request.

The port

• Without a proxy, tls.connect() runs inside https.request(), so the caller gets the throw. That does not change.
• The hunk is the one of nodejs/node ada8c5c9 (lib/https.js lines 295 to 308). Three tokens differ because the surrounding code differs: $debug, the require("node:tls") in place, and return headerEndIndex where Node returns true. Node made onProxyData return a boolean in https: limit proxy CONNECT response headers nodejs/node#64545, which is not ported.
• socket.destroy() has no argument. cleanup() removed the 'error' listener of the proxy socket before, so destroy(err) would be a second uncaught exception.
• The destroy comes before the callback and does not depend on the thrown value. A falsy thrown value makes the Agent take the callback for a success. The request then gets a closed socket and fails with ECONNRESET. Nothing of the request goes to the proxy in plaintext. The Node nightly does the same.
• The state of Node on 2026-10-01: the latest release is v26.10.0, and it does not have the change. main has it (ada8c5c9). v26.x-staging has the backport (33e4ba358b), v26.x does not, and no release proposal for v26 is open.
• The rule of node:http: rewrite the client on net/tls + llhttp (Node http suite: ~55% → 82.3%, +182 vendored tests, client proxy support) #31587: "The port follows the latest Node.js release (each ported file links to the upstream source file it follows), not unreleased main behavior." The reasons to go ahead of it here: the change is a fix for a crash and for a connection that stays open, not a change of a default or of an API. It is staged for v26. Bun reaches the throw with values that Node accepts, and for those no Node behaviour exists to follow. src/js/node/_http_agent.ts has a catch of the same kind for a queued request since node:https: do not reuse a connection across requests that have their own checkServerIdentity #42946, where Node still throws uncaught.
• node:http: do not give a request the socket of a failed connection #44191 names this port as separate work.

Measurements

Release builds of main 5a183c1 and of this PR, linux-x64. Every count was the same in each run.

• Binary (size): text 80677348 to 80677473 B (+125), data 110424 to 110424 B.
• node:https builtin text: 13204 to 13329 B (+125). The other 197 generated modules are byte-identical.
• Bytecode of node:https in a --compile --bytecode executable (internalModuleBytecode): 17728 to 17880 B (+152).
• onProxyData (JSC bytecode dump): 122 to 123 executed instructions on the path of a successful new tunnel. The one more is a jmp over the catch block. Static: 177 to 192 instructions, 1070 to 1152 B, handler table 0 to 1 entries, allocating opcodes 4 to 4. read() and establishTunnel() do not change.
• 200 successful tunnels, per request, with the client, the proxy and the target in one process: process.nextTick calls 52 to 52, listener registrations 76 to 76, setImmediate calls 2 to 2, queueMicrotask calls 0 to 0.
• Live objects per tunnel that is held after the 200: Function 29 to 29, JSLexicalEnvironment 23 to 23, Promise 0 to 0, Object 22 to 22.
• 20 failed proxied requests: uncaught exceptions 20 to 0, 'error' 0 to 20, 'close' 0 to 20, connections to the proxy that stay established 20 to 0 (ss -tn). The Node nightly: 0, 20, 20, 0.
• 'error' and 'close' come on process.nextTick turn 1 after the failure callback, as in the Node nightly. destroy() runs once on the proxy socket, as in the Node nightly.
• For 26 option values that tls.connect() rejects with a throw, the wrapped socket was unchanged when it threw: 26 of 26.

Tests

• The tests are in node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts, which runs under Bun and under Node: its last test starts Node on the same file. The file had the ending .test.mts. It is renamed, because test/CLAUDE.md lists *.test.{ts,js,jsx,tsx,mjs,cjs} as the endings of test files. node-https-agent-checkserveridentity-reuse.test.ts is a file of the same kind with .test.ts.
• The Node nightly passes the 15 tests of the proxyEnv block. A Node older than v27 skips the block, because no Node release has the change. When a v26 release has it, the gate in the test needs that version.
• Its 15 tests: 5 option values with an http:// proxy and with an https:// proxy, the callback of agent.createConnection(), a falsy thrown value, http.setGlobalProxyFromEnv(), a request with a timeout, and a request that waited behind maxTotalSockets.
• Each test checks the events of the request, the code, and the message that tls.connect() throws for the same options with no proxy. The tests with a proxy that holds the connection also check that the client closes it.
• The 16th test runs a child process under NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 and checks its output and that it exits with code 0. It runs under Bun only.
• Without the fix: 16 of 16 fail, on a debug build with the node:https builtin of main and on a release build of main. With the fix: 31 of 31 pass on a debug build (the 16, and the 15 tests that the file had).
• Each part of the catch, removed or changed on a debug build, fails tests of the block: no socket.destroy() 14, no afterSocket() 15, no return 15, afterSocket(err) with no socket 2, destroy only for a truthy error 1, socket.destroy(err) 14, destroy after afterSocket() 1.
• test/js/node/test/parallel/test-https-proxy-request-invalid-tls-options.mjs is the test of https: handle invalid TLS options in proxied requests nodejs/node#66096, byte-identical: the git blob is 065476dce27380a8ecbb02b8487f791da9b745f2 here and in nodejs/node at ada8c5c9 (test/client-proxy/). It passes 20 of 20 runs. On main it prints the exception and does not exit, because it waits in a top-level await.
• Also passing on a debug build: node-http.test.ts (263, run with --timeout 60000), node-http-proxy-url.node.mts (32), node-https-agent-checkserveridentity-reuse.test.ts (30), the two Agent rows of module-graph-io.test.ts, and 60 vendored Node tests (test-https-proxy-request-*, test-http-proxy-request-*, test-http-set-global-proxy-from-env-*, test-https-agent*, test-tls-over-http-tunnel).
• Not run: macOS and Windows.

Found, not changed here

• An option that Bun's tls.connect() rejects after it returns: secureContext: { context: {} }, or a valid secureContext with servername: 123. The TLS socket emits 'error' and 'close' on the next tick and is not destroyed. The request gets 'error' and 'close', before and after this PR, and the proxy connection stays open. The Node nightly closes it, because its tls.connect() throws for these values. When Bun's tls.connect() throws for them too, the catch of this PR closes the connection.
• tls.connect() accepts some option values that Node rejects: sessionIdContext: 123, minDHSize: "x", pskCallback: "x", enableTrace: "x". node: give four ERR_* codes Node's message text and throw ERR_TLS_PROTOCOL_VERSION_CONFLICT #43594 is open for secureProtocol together with minVersion, and for the message of ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION, which has no quotes around the value. tls: minDHSize validation, replaceable createSecureContext, ECANCELED on cancelled TLS writes (+5 tests) #35386 is open for minDHSize.
• An https.Agent with a proxy and a timeout that socket.setTimeout() rejects ("abc", -1, Infinity): https.request() throws, and the proxy connection that it already opened throws once more later. That request has no listener, so the second throw is still uncaught. With this PR the proxy connection is closed. The Node nightly has the second throw for Infinity only, because its tls.connect() does not apply timeout to a socket that it wraps.
• A request that waits behind maxTotalSockets after a request whose tunnel failed is not started until another socket closes. A refused CONNECT gives the same result, on main and in the Node nightly.
• After the 200 of the proxy and before the end of the TLS handshake, req.destroy() and the timeout of the request give no event, and the proxy connection stays open. Node v26.3.0 and the Node nightly do the same.
• tls.connect({ socket }) on a socket that still connects, when an earlier 'connect' listener destroys that socket: the TLS socket emits nothing. Node emits 'close' and 'error' (EINVAL). node:tls: report a wrapped socket's connect failure on the TLSSocket #38122 and node:tls: emit 'connect' on a TLSSocket that wraps a connecting socket #42340 are open in that area. I did not check if they cover this case.
• Two fixes of the proxy client that Node has released are not ported. https: limit proxy CONNECT response headers nodejs/node#64545 (v26.9.0) limits the size of the CONNECT reply headers. http: document and validate options.path when it's in absolute-form nodejs/node#64108 (v26.5.0): an http request through a proxy with path: "//evil.example/x?y=1" to api.internal.test:8080 goes out as GET http://evil.example:8080/x?y=1, as in Node v26.3.0. The Node nightly sends GET http://api.internal.test:8080//evil.example/x?y=1.

Self-review

The 3 concerns that are not addressed:

• Tracking issues for the items above. I did not open issues. Each item has its evidence here, with the open PRs and issues that I found.
• The proxy connection that stays open after a rejection on the next tick. The cause is the TLS socket of node:net, which every caller of tls.connect({ socket }) gets. A socket.destroy() in the tunnel would hide it for one caller.
• The async context in which a queued request gets its error under Bun.ModuleGraph. It is the same for every failed queued connection, and this PR does not change it. I did not verify it.

Walkthrough

The HTTPS proxy tunnel now handles synchronous TLS connection errors by destroying the proxy socket and passing the error and socket to afterSocket. Tests cover invalid TLS options, proxy request behavior, error events, timeouts, queued requests, and environment-proxy execution.

Changes

HTTPS proxy TLS errors

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Handle synchronous TLS errors src/js/node/https.ts	The tunneled TLS connection catches synchronous tls.connect() errors, destroys the proxy socket, and passes the error and socket to afterSocket.
Test invalid TLS options through proxies test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-https-proxy-request-invalid-tls-options.mjs, test/expected-durations.json	Tests check invalid TLS option errors after CONNECT through HTTP and HTTPS proxies. They also verify CONNECT requests and update the duration entry for the renamed test path.
Test proxy error and lifecycle cases test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts	Tests cover callback error delivery, falsy thrown values, global proxy configuration, timeouts, queued requests, and environment-proxy subprocess behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5f27a

The proxy TLS error handling has no established outstanding merge blocker. The outdated test-command concern no longer applies; normal build and test checks remain necessary.

Status

• Reproduced on main 5a183c1 and on Bun 1.4.2 (linux-x64) with the script under Notes in the description: bun repro.mjs prints ["uncaughtException ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION"]. Node v26.3.0 prints the same.
• With this change the script prints ["error ERR_TLS_INVALID_PROTOCOL_VERSION","close"], as Node v27.0.0-nightly20260928b59840b593 does.
• The new tests fail on main: USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts gives 15 pass, 16 fail. With the change: 31 pass.
• Open point for a maintainer: no Node release has this change yet (it is on Node main and on v26.x-staging). The description has the details under Downsides.

[claude]

LGTM — a small, direct port of the upstream Node fix that routes a synchronous tls.connect() throw through the tunnel's existing failure channel.

What was reviewed:

• The catch in establishTunnel() (src/js/node/https.ts:202-209): cleanup() has already removed the proxy socket's 'error' listener, so the bare socket.destroy() cannot raise a second uncaught error, and afterSocket(err, socket) lands in the same Agent oncreate -> onSocketCreated -> req.onSocket(socket, err) path the non-200, 'end', timeout and handshake-error siblings already use.
• The falsy-throw edge case: the Agent books the destroyed socket as a success and the request fails with ECONNRESET; nothing is written to the proxy, and the new test pins this to the behavior the PR attributes to Node 27.
• The ECONNRESET-only filter in the ported parallel test: the proxy has finished writing its 200 before the client destroys the tunnel, and the TLS target sends nothing unsolicited, so no EPIPE-style proxy error is expected to slip past it.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a 9-line try/catch in src/js/node/https.ts around the tls.connect() call made after the proxy answers CONNECT, plus a 230-line node:test describe block in test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.mts and a new ported Node test using the existing ../common/proxy-server.js and fixture keys. It touches the TLS-over-proxy tunnel in the node: compat layer, but only the failure path: the proxy socket is destroyed before the error is handed back, so no request bytes reach the proxy in plaintext and no security check is weakened. The fix reuses the exact error-delivery path of its sibling tunnel-failure sites, the fixtures and tls.setDefaultCACertificates/getCACertificates used by the tests exist in the repo, and the changed files are not covered by .github/CODEOWNERS; the one thing not verifiable here was the byte-identical claim for the ported test, since outbound fetches were not permitted in this session.

LGTM — an 11-line port of the upstream Node fix with thorough coverage; the new NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY subprocess test from the latest commit rounds out the entry points.

What was reviewed:

• The catch in establishTunnel() against the surrounding flow: cleanup() has already removed the proxy socket's 'error' listener, so the bare socket.destroy() (no error argument) is the right call, and afterSocket(err, socket) lands in _http_agent.ts onSocketReady -> onSocketCreated -> req.onSocket(socket, err), where onSocketNT calls socket.destroy(err) on an already-destroyed socket (a no-op) before emitting 'error' then 'close'.
• The falsy-throw path: a null error is treated as success by the agent, giving the request a destroyed socket and ECONNRESET; the test asserts that, plus that nothing after the CONNECT reached the proxy.
• Tests: every wait is on an observable ('close' on the proxy connection, request 'close', subprocess exit) with cleanup in finally before assertions, setDefaultCACertificates is restored, the subprocess test drains stdout/stderr concurrently and asserts positive stdout, and the referenced fixtures (agent8-*.pem, fake-startcom-root-cert.pem, cert.encrypted.key, proxy-server.js) all exist.

Extended reasoning...

The runtime change is confined to the try/catch around tls.connect() in establishTunnel() in src/js/node/https.ts, mirroring the cited nodejs/node hunk; everything else is tests in the existing node-http-agent-tls-options file plus a ported upstream test. It touches the TLS tunnel error path but only tightens it (the proxy socket is now destroyed and the error delivered via the request's 'error' event instead of an uncaught exception), with no change to validation, trust, or credential handling. Deciding factors for approve: the diff is small and traces cleanly through the agent and client callback chain, there is no CODEOWNER on the changed paths, the hunt ran dry, and the only prior review state is COMMENTED with a follow-up commit and author reply since. I could not execute the tests in this environment (no debug build and test execution was not permitted), so the pass/fail claims rest on static reading of the fixtures and harness.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

[claude]

I reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; moving the tunnel tests into node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts addresses my earlier comment. A maintainer still needs to make the call the PR itself asks for: landing nodejs/node#66096 while it is on Node main and v26.x-staging but in no Node release.

What was reviewed:

• The try/catch in establishTunnel(): cleanup() has already removed the proxy socket's error listener, so the bare socket.destroy() before afterSocket(err, socket) is the right order, and the early return keeps onProxyData's return contract; the falsy-throw path (treated as success with a destroyed socket, ending in ECONNRESET) has a test.
• The .mts to .ts rename: the only other reference to the old name was the expected-durations.json key, which is updated.
• The maxTotalSockets test is gated to Node >= 27, so the "all tests pass in Node.js" run is unaffected on the Node 22/24 that CI uses; whether Node 27's own agent drains the queue the way Bun's does is worth checking once a Node 27 is on PATH.
• The PR description still names test/js/node/http/node-https-proxy-invalid-tls-options.test.ts, which the last commit removed.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a 10-line try/catch in src/js/node/https.ts establishTunnel() so a synchronous throw from tls.connect() after the proxy's CONNECT reply is delivered to the request's 'error' event instead of escaping as an uncaught exception, plus a renamed and extended node:test file, a new Node-style parallel test, and an expected-durations key update. It touches the TLS-over-proxy tunnel path in a built-in module, which is security-adjacent, though the new code only changes error delivery and does not alter TLS option handling. The source hunk is small and mirrors the cited upstream Node change, and the bug hunt ran dry with no findings. What keeps this from an approve is that the PR explicitly ports behaviour ahead of any Node release, which the author flags as needing a maintainer's acceptance, and the Node >= 27 gate on the new describe block cannot be exercised here (Node 22 on PATH, no network).

[robobun]

Two points of that review, checked:

• The description names test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts since its update for 5f27aa9. It has no reference to the removed file.
• The maxTotalSockets test passes on Node v27. node --v8-pool-size=1 test/js/node/http/node-http-agent-tls-options.test.ts with v27.0.0-nightly20260928b59840b593 gives 29 pass, 0 fail, 0 skipped, and a request that waited behind maxTotalSockets is one of the 29. The Notes in the description have this under Tests.

#44454 ports the upstream commit before this one (nodejs/node 84e367579e). It makes onProxyData return a boolean, as in Node.

The two PRs merge with no textual conflict. After both, return headerEndIndex; in the new catch is a type error: TS2322 in tsc --noEmit -p src/js/tsconfig.json, which the Lint job runs. The code stays correct at runtime.

The PR that lands second must change that line to return true;. That is upstream's text at ada8c5c9f8. If this PR lands first, #44454 makes the change on its rebase.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Superseded by #44618, which consolidates the open TLS pull requests. This fix and its tests are in there, either as written, rewritten smaller, or merged with the other PRs that patched the same cause (see the "By area" list in that PR). Closing in favor of it.
