From 845ae7be145274e9a533c701e1d39afe10e2b278 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 18:18:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix:=20NIP-FE=20audit=20=E2=80=94=20slow=20bodi?= =?UTF-8?q?es,=20malformed=20Content-Type,=20body=20buffers,=20one=20parse?= =?UTF-8?q?,=20faster=20gzip?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bugs (reproduced on a live geode before fixing, now regression tests): - A body trickled in forever held its admission slot forever: a client that declared 100 bytes and sent 5 still had its slot after 20 s, so a few addresses could fill the global cap. The body read is now bounded by [http].body_timeout_seconds (10 s): 408, Connection: close. - A malformed Content-Type made the NIP-86 check throw, answering 500. It is now compared as text, and a command needs no type at all. Performance: - Every request allocated a cap-sized body buffer (512 KiB) for what is usually a 50-byte frame. The buffer is now sized to Content-Length, or grows from 4 KiB for a chunked body. - The session parsed each body again after the handler had. RelaySession.receive(text, parsed) runs the raw-text policies on the text and dispatches the parsed command. - Gzip at level 1: 42% of raw against 39% at the default 6 on Nostr-shaped events, for about 2.5x less CPU. Compressed bytes go to the socket from their own buffer instead of a copy.
