Fixes #10475.

What changed

  • decode gzip, zlib or raw deflate, and Brotli response bodies across every global Fetch request path
  • preserve observable Content-Encoding and Content-Length response headers by decoding after reqwest buffers the raw response
  • send Node's default Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate header while allowing a request header to override it
  • add decoder unit tests and an end to end regression fixture

Verification

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-stdlib 'fetch::' -- --nocapture (18 passed)
  • built perry, perry-runtime-static, and perry-stdlib-static together with the perry-dev profile
  • compiled and ran test_gap_10475_fetch_content_encoding.ts against the issue's local server; output matches Node 26.5.1 exactly for gzip, deflate, Brotli, json(), the default request header, and a caller override
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Global fetch() now automatically decompresses gzip, deflate, and Brotli responses.
    • Fetch requests advertise support for gzip and deflate content encoding by default.
    • Responses with unsupported or invalid encoding remain available without decoding failures.

Fetch content-encoding support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Response decoding helper and validation
crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/content_encoding.rs
Fetch response bodies are buffered and decoded for gzip, deflate, Brotli, identity, and empty encodings. Unsupported or invalid encodings preserve the original body. Tests cover supported and invalid cases.
Fetch client and response-path integration
crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/mod.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/abort_bridge.rs, test-files/test_gap_10475_fetch_content_encoding.ts, changelog.d/11034-fetch-content-encoding.md
Fetch clients send Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate. GET, POST, authenticated, and abortable fetch paths use the shared decoder. The gap test exercises gzip, deflate, Brotli, and identity responses. The changelog documents decompression support.

Limit decoded response size.

read_all uses Read::read_to_end without a decoded-size limit. Reachable Fetch paths pass supported Content-Encoding responses to this helper, so a small gzip, deflate, or Brotli response can expand into unbounded memory and CPU use.

Apply a decoded-body limit. If the limit is exceeded, surface a Fetch body failure. Do not return the compressed bytes as a successful decoded body.

Node.js fetch invalid gzip Content-Encoding response body decompression error response.text rejects undici official

💡 Result:

<source_evidence>

<title>undici | Node.js Undici</title> https://undici.nodejs.org/ Node.js includes a built-in `fetch()` implementation powered by undici starting from Node.js v18. However, there are important differences between using the built-in fetch and installing undici as a separate module. ... - No additional dependencies required - Works across different JavaScript runtimes - Automatic compression handling (gzip, deflate, br) - Built-in caching support (in development) ... - Limited to the undici version bundled with your Node.js version - Less control over connection pooling and advanced features - Error handling follows Web API standards (errors wrapped in `TypeError`) - Performance overhead due to Web Streams implementation ... Calling `body.formData()` on a fetch response causes undici to buffer and parse the entire body. Since this is dictated by the spec, `body.formData()` must only be called on responses from trusted servers. ... Note: Once a mixin has been called then the body cannot be reused, thus calling additional mixins on `.body`, e.g. `.body.json(); .body.text()` will result in an error `TypeError: unusable` being thrown and returned through the `Promise` rejection. ... to access the `body` in plain-text after using a mixin, the best practice is to use the `.text()` mixin first and then manually parse the text to the desired ... #### response.body ... has two kinds ... web streams, which follow the API of the WHAT ... browsers, and an older ... specific streams API. `response.body` returns a readable web stream. If you would prefer to work with a ... convert a web stream ... `.fromWeb()`. ... #### Content-Encoding ... - https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#field.content-encoding ... Undici limits the number of `Content-Encoding` layers in a response to 5 to prevent resource exhaustion attacks. If a server responds with more than 5 content-encodings (e.g., `Content-Encoding: gzip, gzip, gzip, gzip, gzip, gzip`), the fetch will be rejected with an error. This limit matches the approach taken by curl and urllib3. <title>Z_DATA_ERROR when fetching a "Content-Encoding: gzip, deflate" response from the server · Issue `#3762` · nodejs/undici</title> GitHub issue 3762 in nodejs/undici (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # Issue: nodejs/undici `#3762` - Repository: nodejs/undici | An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js | 8K stars | JavaScript ## Z_DATA_ERROR when fetching a "Content-Encoding: gzip, deflate" response from the server - Author: [`@kettanaito`](https://github.com/kettanaito) - Association: CONTRIBUTOR - State: closed (completed) - Labels: bug - Reactions: 👍 1 - Created: 2024-10-23T10:46:24Z - Updated: 2024-10-23T13:15:13Z - Closed: 2024-10-23T13:15:13Z - Closed by: [`@tsctx`](https://github.com/tsctx) ## Bug Description `fetch` is terminated with a `Z_DATA_ERROR` when fetching a `gzip, deflate` compressed response from the server. ## Reproducible By Here&`#39`;s a 0 dependency reproduction: 1. https://github.com/kettanaito/undici-gzip-deflate 2. `node ./index.js` Here&`#39`;s a copy-pastable reproduction: ```js import http from &`#39`;node:http&`#39`; import zlib from &`#39`;node:zlib&`#39`; const server = new http.Server((req, res) => { res.setHeader(&`#39`;content-encoding&`#39`;, &`#39`;gzip, deflate&`#39`;) res.end(zlib.deflateSync(zlib.gzipSync(&`#39`;hello world&`#39`;))) }) server.listen(56789, async () => { const response = await fetch(&`#39`;http://localhost:56789/&`#39`;, { headers: { &`#39`;accept-encoding&`#39`;: &`#39`;gzip, deflate&`#39`; }, }) const text = await response.text() console.assert(text === &`#39`;hello world&`#39`;) }) ``` ## Expected Behavior 1.

In an attempt to solve a bunch of issues I&`#39`;m having with Firebase, I found that I could proxy the firebase auth request through my domain and request the firebase auth myself. Since I&`#39`;ll be deploying on vercel, I don&`#39`;t have nginx or something like that, so I&`#39`;m doing it in application code. One of the proxied requests is for a javascript file, but all requests in this proxying mechanism are failing. I tried even using `response.body.getReader()` but that results in the same error when you keep reading the file. If I just read once, I can print a small slice of the file, but not the entire file. I also tried previous node versions, and even next versions (node 19), without success. ... > ...

And I didn&`#39`;t know `fetch` added the accept-encoding: gzip header by default, and that&`#39`;s probably why the https module is working in my second example, because the server is likely responding in decompressed format. > > Also, the HTTP protocol does not seem to influence the issue, it fails on both. > > But again, let&`#39`;s compare with other implementations.

Reject body reads when decompression fails.

A response with Content-Encoding: gzip, deflate, or br can fail decoding, but response_body_bytes stores the original compressed bytes as a successful body. response.text() then resolves a lossy string instead of rejecting, and response.json() reports only a later JSON parse result. Node Fetch rejects the body read with a TypeError when decompression fails.

Track the decompression error in FetchResponse and reject from consume_response_body; do not fall back to the original bytes.

Pulled from merge train 257: this PR's own gap fixture fails in the train.

test_gap_10475_fetch_content_encoding: pass -> parity_fail
  node exit 1, perry exit 1
  node:   node:internal/modules/run_main:107
  perry:  TypeError: fetch failed

Run 35787084787, shard 4, ubuntu-latest, fast mode.

Both sides exit 1, so this may be as much about what the ORACLE does as about perry: node is failing in run_main, which looks like the fixture itself erroring under --experimental-strip-types rather than a clean assertion, while perry reports TypeError: fetch failed. Two different failures, so the outputs diverge.

Worth checking in this order:

  1. Does the fixture run cleanly under the pinned node (.node-version, currently 26.5.1) outside the harness? A fixture the oracle cannot run is classified node_fail and silently dropped rather than gated, so a fixture that half runs is worse than one that doesn't.
  2. Does the decompression path need a network or a local server the CI runner doesn't provide? TypeError: fetch failed with no cause usually means the request never completed.
  3. If perry's behaviour is correct and only the expectation is wrong, triage it into test-parity/known_failures.json with the reason and regenerate the snapshot with gap_snapshot.py update — do not hand-edit gap_snapshot.json, its header forbids it and the status is generated.

The change itself (decoding compressed response bodies) is wanted. Ping me when its own fixture passes and it goes in the next train.

Rebased this onto current main locally and the merge is mechanicalcrates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/mod.rs is the only conflict, where main added turnloop-transport code and comments in the same place this PR adds its new content_encoding module. Keeping both resolves it; nothing about the decompression logic is in dispute.

I could not push it for you: the head lives in the proggeramlug/perry fork, so a maintainer push does not reach the PR (my first attempt created an unrelated branch on PerryTS/perry, which I deleted immediately — the PR itself was never touched and is still at its original head).

So this just needs you to run:

git fetch upstream main && git rebase upstream/main

and keep both sides in crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/mod.rs. Once it is MERGEABLE I'll take it in the next train — it was otherwise green apart from one gap regression (test_gap_1_fetch_shorthand family) that I should re-check after the rebase, since #11031 has since changed shorthand Headers handling on that same path.

Heads-up: #11101 (tokio lane G) deletes perry-stdlib's reqwest fetch fallback. This PR adds code to that path, so the two will conflict. The turnloop engine already decompresses responses; redirect modes map onto one field in turnloop_bridge::dispatch. Whichever lands second should re-target the engine path.

Global fetch does not decode Content-Encoding: gzip/deflate/br response bodies (text() returns compressed bytes, json() rejects)
