Feat: Forward WebSocket upgrades on intercepted connections - #1549
The forward proxy stripped Upgrade from every request, so a WebSocket crossing it — plain or TLS-bridged — reached the origin as a bare GET and died there. This forwards the upgrade and splices the 101, on both the ordinary listener and the decrypted side of a CONNECT bridge.
What changes
serveOutbound computes forwardUpgrade: a WebSocket upgrade header pair, minus the Responses-API WebSocket the existing 426 decline still refuses (that behavior is unchanged — on by default, OpenAI hosts only). A forwarded upgrade:
keeps Connection/Upgrade through stripForUpstream, normalized to the one protocol forwarded (Connection: Upgrade / Upgrade: websocket, mirroring httputil.ReverseProxy);
skips resendIfAsked — a 101 is the upgrade succeeding, not a refused answer;
on the origin's 101, hijacks the client connection and splices both directions (relayUpgradedWebSocket, modelled on stdlib ReverseProxy.handleUpgradeResponse): CloseWrite propagates half-closes, the request context closes the origin's end, and bytes buffered past the hijack are read through the returned bufio so nothing is lost.
No upgrade-specific client. A tempting worry is that the bridge's ForceAttemptHTTP2 upstream client would strand an upgrade on an h2 connection — it does not: net/http pins a request carrying exactly that header pair to HTTP/1.1 by itself (Request.requiresHTTP1). The bridged test pins this against an h2-capable origin (it asserts the origin served the upgrade over HTTP/1.1), so the stdlib behavior we rely on is guarded, not assumed.
Audit — the issue's done-when: one logical event per upgrade, the request row plus a paired 101 response row recorded after both splice directions end, carrying both directions' byte counts (the one response row besides a tunnel close that carries both), durationMs over the whole WebSocket session and ttfbMs the handshake. Frames after the 101 are relayed byte for byte, never inspected or buffered; no response plugin runs on the 101. A bridged upgrade GET is held to the CONNECT-host check like any bridged request (421 otherwise).
Docs: new "Forwarding WebSocket upgrades" section in docs/framework-architecture.md, 101-row semantics in docs/session-api.md, and the 426 decline reworded as a deliberate steer — a forwarded Responses WebSocket now works, but its frames are opaque to every parser, so the default keeps Codex on HTTPS where its traffic stays observable. RFC 8441 (WebSocket over HTTP/2 downstream) is out of scope and documented as such.
Tests
TestForwardProxy_WebSocketEcho — plain path: hand-rolled upgrade GET through the proxy, 101 with the origin's own RFC 6455 sample accept, masked-frame echo round-trip, row assertions.
TestConnectBridge_WebSocketEcho — the intercepted path: CONNECT → bridge-terminated TLS → upgrade GET → 101 → echo across both splices, HTTP/1.1 pin asserted, tunnel-open + request + 101 rows asserted.
TestConnectBridge_WebSocketMisdirectedHost — a bridged upgrade whose Host names another authority than its tunnel's CONNECT target is refused 421 before anything is forwarded.
TestForwardProxy_EndToEnd_ForwardsTheWebSocketUpgrade (reworked from the old strip test) — the origin receives the normalized pair; a non-101 answer takes the ordinary response path.
TestStripForUpstream_* — the strip still applies to non-websocket upgrades and no-upgrade requests; the forwarded pair is normalized.
go vet, gofmt, and the listener, tlsbridge, config, pipeline suites pass, plus a -race run of the WebSocket tests.
Forward proxies can now relay WebSocket connections for supported requests, including through TLS-bridged connections. WebSocket frames pass through unchanged.
OpenAI Responses API WebSocket upgrades continue to receive a 426 response by default. Other qualifying WebSocket upgrades can be forwarded.
Session records include WebSocket handshake results, connection duration, and transferred bytes.
Bug Fixes
Outbound WebSocket handshakes no longer inflate usage request counts or latency averages.
Documentation
Updated guidance explains WebSocket forwarding behavior and session records.
Issue #1488. The forward proxy stripped Upgrade from every request, so a
WebSocket crossing it — plain or TLS-bridged — reached the origin as a bare
GET and died there. Now the upgrade is forwarded and the 101 spliced.
serveOutbound computes forwardUpgrade (a WebSocket header pair, minus the
Responses-API WebSocket declineResponsesWebSocket still answers 426) and:
keeps Connection/Upgrade through stripForUpstream, normalized to the one
protocol forwarded ("Connection: Upgrade" / "Upgrade: websocket", as
httputil.ReverseProxy normalizes); skips resendIfAsked (a 101 is not a
refused answer); and on a 101 hijacks the client connection and splices
both directions (relayUpgradedWebSocket, modelled on ReverseProxy's
handleUpgradeResponse), with CloseWrite propagating half-closes and the
request context closing the origin's end.
No upgrade-specific client anywhere: net/http pins a request carrying that
exact header pair to HTTP/1.1 (Request.requiresHTTP1), so the bridge's
h2-negotiating upstream client carries the exchange as HTTP/1.1 by itself
— pinned by the bridged test against an h2-capable origin.
The audit is one logical event: the request row, plus a paired 101
response row recorded after both splice directions end, carrying both
directions' byte counts (the one response row besides a tunnel close that
carries both), durationMs over the whole session and ttfbMs the handshake.
Frames after the 101 are relayed byte for byte, never inspected or
buffered; no response plugin runs on a 101. The CONNECT-host check already
covers the bridged upgrade GET (421 test included). RFC 8441 (WebSocket
over h2 downstream) is out of scope and documented as such.
The decline's docs are reworded — it is now a steer (a forwarded Responses
WebSocket works, but its frames are opaque to every parser, so the 426
keeps Codex on observable HTTPS) rather than a capability gap — with
behavior unchanged: on by default, OpenAI hosts only.

The forward proxy now forwards qualifying WebSocket upgrades, relays matching 101 responses over plain and TLS-bridged connections, and records relay byte counts and errors. Outbound 101 events are excluded from usage aggregation; inbound 101 events remain included.
The proxy recognizes WebSocket upgrades only when Connection includes upgrade and Upgrade includes websocket. It normalizes forwarded headers and retains the configured Responses API refusal.
The proxy relays matching 101 responses and WebSocket bytes, handles splice failures and half-closes, and records response events after the relay ends. Tests cover plain and bridged connections, failure cases, and response-event timing.
Usage accounting and event documentation core/cost/usage/usage.go, core/cost/usage/*test.go, CLAUDE.md, docs/session-api.md
Outbound 101 events do not affect usage request totals or latency means. Inbound 101 events remain included. The event documentation describes response rows and byte counts.
rossoctl/cortex#1411 — The change forwards WebSocket upgrades but continues to relay opaque frames, which relates to the issue’s WebSocket handling and observability scope.
rossoctl/cortex#1490 — The change implements WebSocket forwarding listed in the egress capability plan.

WebSocket forwarding now handles origin-first close, broken splice directions and pre-splice failures, and these paths are covered by tests. One minor edge case remains: a custom HTTP client whose 101 body cannot half-close can leave a WebSocket relay and its audit row open after the client disconnects. This is bounded and does not affect the default transport.

Issue #1488 requires WebSocket upgrades on intercepted connections, the CONNECT-host check, audit recording, and a successful echo. The reviewed change forwards and normalizes the WebSocket headers, keeps the bridged host check, relays matching 101 responses and frames in both directions, and records the request with its paired 101 response row after the splice. The reported plain and TLS-bridged echo tests, misdirected-host test, and audit assertions cover these requirements.

Explanation
The six modified tests in core/listener/reverseproxy only change deferred response-event waits and session-ID lookup.

CodeQL on #1549 flagged "Log entries created from user input" at the four
slog.Error sites relayUpgradedWebSocket added: r.Host is client-controlled,
and a control rune forged into it would forge a log entry — the same
CWE-150 shape #1539's log lines got (2a3cc17 there).
- Carry this branch the rename that commit made, pipeline.sanitizeUA →
pipeline.SanitizeControlRunes, verbatim (the client.go and context.go
hunks only — its listener hunks belong to #1484's own code). Both open
PRs now hold one byte-identical change, so whichever merges first leaves
the other conflict-free; one shared copy of the rule is the point of the
export, and a third loop beside the ledger's sanitizeLabel is the
outcome it exists to avoid.
- Apply it to r.Host at all four sites. The error values stay raw: a
hijack error is the runtime's own text and the write/flush failures are
syscall errors, neither carrying client-chosen bytes — the same line
#1539 drew between what a client controls and what it merely causes.

…ops there
CodeQL re-flagged all four relayUpgradedWebSocket log lines at 136d801:
passing r.Host through pipeline.SanitizeControlRunes did not clear "Log
entries created from user input", because go/log-injection recognizes
exactly two sanitizers — strings.ReplaceAll(s, "\n"/"\r", ...) and %q
formatting (LogInjectionCustomizations.qll in github/codeql) — and a
custom function is invisible to it however thorough. The same is true on
#1539: 2a3cc17 sanitized its flagged lines and the finding survived at
that PR's head too.
- Route both of SanitizeControlRunes' returns through
strings.ReplaceAll(x, "\n", "") — a no-op by construction, since every
control rune (newline included) is already replaced by the time either
return runs, and strings.Replace hands back its input unchanged when
the needle is absent (Count==0 fast path, no allocation, so the
request-path budget the fast path's comment promises still holds). The
call exists to be the one shape the query recognizes, so the taint
stops at this function for every present and future caller instead of
each log site being flagged anew.
- Deliberately NOT mirrored into the ledger's and usage's sanitizeLabel
copies, which share the substitution rule: their outputs go to durable
rows and the usage ring, never a log sink, so the query's sink never
sees them. The substitution rule itself is unchanged everywhere.
- The rejected alternative was a CodeQL model pack teaching the query
about this function — the officially blessed mechanism, but pack
infrastructure this repo does not carry, for what two no-op calls do
here.

6cae5d1 did not clear the finding — CodeQL still reported all four
relayUpgradedWebSocket log lines at that commit. The barrier has to sit
in the sink's own function: go/log-injection's recognized ReplaceAll
shape (its test suite proves the shape only in the logging function's
body; a barrier inside a custom callee does not cut the callee's taint
summary, which is what 6cae5d1 tried). This also explains why #1539's
sanitized Debug stayed flagged: beyond host and method it logs
ref.Addr.String(), parsed from the client's own host string — an
unfenced value on that line.
- Revert SanitizeControlRunes to the pre-fence body, byte-identical to
#1539's copy again — the in-function fence demonstrably did nothing.
- Fence in relayUpgradedWebSocket instead: one local, host := the
sanitizer's output passed through strings.ReplaceAll(x, "\n", "") — a
no-op by construction, since every control rune is already replaced —
computed once at the top and used by all four log lines. The call has
to stay in this function's body; a helper would put it back inside a
callee, which is why the comment says not to lift it.
- The error values stay raw, as before: hijack, write and flush errors
are runtime and syscall text, not client-chosen bytes.

Go CI (core) failed on this PR twice and on main once — at 49f909c,
the merge of #1532 — always the same shape: a reverseproxy test reads
the session store right after the client finished and finds the request
row but not the response row. #1532 defers that row to the end of
ReverseProxy's body copy (recordOnEOFBody) so its Duration and byte
counts are complete, which opened the race: a client that drains a
small body can be back and inspecting the store before the server's
copy finished. #1532 deflaked its own test and recording_test.go with
waitForResponseEvent but left the other same-shaped assertions racing.
- waitForResponseEvent takes the session id now: a rekeyed turn's rows
land under the contextId bucket, not default, which is exactly the
case TestReverseProxy_ModifyResponse_RekeyAndResponseEvent (three of
the failures) asserts on.
- Apply it at every round-trip assertion that was still racing the row:
the rekey test (server_test.go), TestReverseProxyRecordsMethodAndPath
(httppath_test.go — main's failure), the bytescount round-trip helper,
the finalize-context response-row check, and the unreachable-backend
test, whose failure row is appended from errorHandler after the 502
went out. Direct-recorder tests are untouched — their rows are
synchronous by construction.
- The parity suite's reverseproxy driver polls observe() to the same
deadline instead of reading once; its priced-response-headers-only
fixture is the unbuffered arm and failed the same way at 6cae5d1.

Three conflicts, all in test files and all the same shape: this branch and main
independently added a wait for the reverse proxy's deferred response row (main's
ed0db25, "Wait for the deferred response row instead of racing it"). Took
main's version in each — it is the canonical one now, and in two of the three it
is also the better test.
- `core/listener/parity/drivers_test.go`: main guards the wait with
`!f.refusedPreRun("reverseproxy")` and uses the shared `waitForPhase` helper.
Mine polled unconditionally, which cost a fixture with no expected event the
full 5s deadline — CodeRabbit flagged exactly that on this line, so main's
side resolves the conflict and the comment together. Parity suite now runs in
4.7s total.
- `core/listener/reverseproxy/server_test.go`: main waits for BOTH events
(`waitForEvents(..., 2)`) rather than just the response, and the code below
the conflict needs the `view` it returns.
- `core/listener/reverseproxy/httppath_test.go`: took main's prose with the
3-arg `waitForResponseEvent(t, store, sid)` call. Main's side called it with 2
args, which would not compile: `upstreamfailure_test.go` auto-merged carrying
this branch's 3-arg signature, so the session id is required.
Verified: go vet clean on ./listener/...; parity, reverseproxy and forwardproxy

…fails (#1488)
Two CodeRabbit findings on the 101 relay, both confirmed by reproduction before
fixing, each now pinned by a test that fails without its fix.
**A failed splice leaked the origin's connection.** relayUpgradedWebSocket owns
resp.Body once the origin answered 101 — serveOutbound deliberately skips its
Close defer, since closing the body would close the WebSocket — and the
goroutine that closes the origin on context-done is armed only after the hijack
succeeds. Both early returns before it therefore left the origin holding a
connection it believed was an established WebSocket, while the client already
had a 502, until the origin's own idle timeout reaped it. Reproduced through the
hijack-failure path: the origin's copy never returned, so our end was never
closed. Both paths now close their end first.
**A broken splice direction stranded the other, and lost the audit row.** The
splice waits for both directions to report their byte counts. A clean EOF
propagates as CloseWrite and releases its peer; an error carries no such signal,
so the peer stayed blocked in Read with nothing coming. The cost is not just a
goroutine: the 101 row is recorded after both directions end, so a stranded
direction means the upgrade is never evented — the PR's own one-event-per-upgrade
promise lost on exactly the connections worth auditing. Measured with an origin
that RSTs mid-session against a quiet client: the row never arrived past any
deadline; after the fix it lands in ~0.1s.
ReverseProxy sidesteps this by returning after the first result and letting its
deferred closes unblock the other. This function needs both counts, so it closes
explicitly instead. The counts stay correct — io.Copy returns what it copied
before the error, and the closes only release a direction already finished or
broken. Ordering is safe either way: a first result of nil means that direction
already did CloseWrite, which releases its peer, so the second always arrives.
Both tests are listener-level and observe the ORIGIN's view rather than ours —
its handler blocks in a copy that returns only when our end closes, which is the
only honest evidence we released it.
Not taken: the De Morgan's rewrite of `forwardUpgrade` (staticcheck QF1001,
flagged Trivial/unverified). staticcheck runs in neither CI nor pre-commit, so
it gates nothing, and the current form reads as the rule the comment above it
states — "a websocket upgrade, unless it is a declined Responses WebSocket".
The disjunction is equivalent but reads less like that rule.
Verified: full core suite 74 packages 0 failures; go vet and gofmt clean; the
WebSocket and bridge tests 3x under -race with no races.

Three conflicts, all in test files and all the same shape: this branch and main
independently added a wait for the reverse proxy's deferred response row (main's ed0db25). Took main's version in each — it is canonical now, and in two of the three
it is also the better test:
File
Why main's side
parity/drivers_test.go
Guards the wait with !f.refusedPreRun("reverseproxy") and uses the shared waitForPhase. Mine polled unconditionally — which is exactly what CodeRabbit flagged on this line, so the conflict and that comment closed together. Parity suite now runs in 4.7s.
reverseproxy/server_test.go
Waits for both events (waitForEvents(..., 2)) rather than just the response, and the code below the conflict needs the view it returns.
reverseproxy/httppath_test.go
Main's prose, but with the 3-argwaitForResponseEvent(t, store, sid). Main's side called it with 2 args, which would not compile — upstreamfailure_test.go auto-merged carrying this branch's 3-arg signature.
Both reproduced before fixing, each now pinned by a test that fails without its fix.
A failed splice leaked the origin's connection. This function owns resp.Body once
the origin answered 101 (serveOutbound skips its Close defer — closing the body would
close the WebSocket), and the goroutine that closes it on context-done is armed only after the hijack succeeds. Both earlier returns left the origin holding a connection it
believed was an established WebSocket while the client already had a 502. Verified: the
origin's copy never returned.
A broken splice direction stranded the other — and lost the audit row. This is the
one worth reading. A clean EOF propagates as CloseWrite and releases its peer; an error
carries no such signal. Because the 101 row is recorded after both directions end, a
stranded direction meant the upgrade was never evented at all. So the failure mode was
this PR's own one-event-per-upgrade promise, lost on exactly the connections most worth
auditing. Measured with an origin that RSTs mid-session against a quiet client: row never
arrived past any deadline; after the fix, ~0.1s.
Both tests assert the origin's view rather than ours — its handler blocks in a copy
that returns only when our end closes, which is the only honest evidence we released it.
Not taken: the De Morgan rewrite
QF1001 on forwardUpgrade. staticcheck runs in neither ci.yaml nor pre-commit — I
checked — so it gates nothing, and CodeRabbit marked it Trivial/unverified. The current
negated conjunction reads as the rule the comment above it states ("a WebSocket upgrade, unless it is the one Responses WebSocket this proxy declines"); the disjunction is
equivalent but asks the reader to rebuild that rule from two negatives. Flagged rather
than decided silently — happy to take it if you'd rather be clean against a staticcheck
someone adds later.
Verification
Full core suite: 74 packages, 0 failures

WebSocket + bridge tests 3× under -race, no races
Both new tests confirmed failing before their fixes
Main moved again mid-review: #1548 (deny-by-default egress allow list) landed,
which touches the forward proxy, so the branch went back to CONFLICTING.
One conflict this time, and only in CLAUDE.md's event-schema prose — additive,
like the last round. #1548 documented its `destination_denied` 403 and how it
composes with the egress guard's `destination_private`; this branch documented
the forwarded WebSocket and its paired 101 row. Kept both, in that order, so the
426-decline paragraph still leads into the forwarded case before the two 403
boundaries are described.
`core/listener/forwardproxy/server.go` and `core/config/config.go` both
auto-merged, which is the part that mattered: the allow list runs before the
pipeline and the WebSocket forwarding runs after it, so they compose without a
code-level conflict. Confirmed by running the WebSocket and bridge tests
alongside #1548's — all green.

Re-merged main at 020d4b9 — mergeable is MERGEABLE again.
#1548 (deny-by-default egress allow list) landed while I was addressing the review above,
and it touches the forward proxy, so the branch briefly went back to CONFLICTING.

Two gaps in the forwarded-upgrade predicate, both found by driving the real
handler and both fixed here. They share a root cause worth stating plainly:
because stripForUpstream WRITES the normalized Connection/Upgrade pair for
anything treated as an upgrade, a predicate that is too loose does not merely
miss a forward — it manufactures one.
1. A request was treated as a WebSocket upgrade on its Upgrade header alone.
RFC 9110 §7.8 says a sender MUST send Connection: upgrade alongside it and
a recipient ignores Upgrade when Connection does not list it; that is also
exactly the test net/http makes in ReverseProxy's upgradeType, and in
Request.requiresHTTP1 — the very function this PR relies on to pin the
exchange to HTTP/1.1, which also demands both headers.
So a request carrying a bare "Upgrade: websocket" and no Connection token
reached the origin as a well-formed handshake the client never sent, and
when the origin answered 101 its connection was hijacked and spliced.
Measured end to end before the fix: the client, which was waiting for an
ordinary HTTP response, read the origin's post-101 bytes off an opaque pipe
whose frames no plugin inspects. It now takes the ordinary path and the
pair is stripped, so the same request gets a 200.
2. A 101 was spliced without checking what the origin switched TO. A 101 only
says "switching"; its own Upgrade header says to what, which is why
ReverseProxy's handleUpgradeResponse refuses when resUpType != reqUpType.
relayUpgradedWebSocket is modelled on that function but left the
comparison out, so an origin answering "101 Upgrade: h2c" to a WebSocket
handshake was spliced anyway — handing the client a pipe speaking a
protocol it never negotiated, which only the client could then detect,
after the proxy had already committed its connection. Refused with 502
before the hijack now, while a status is still writable, and the refusal
records its response row like every other splice failure.
The response check reuses upgradesToWebSocket, so a 101 must carry the
Connection token too — which RFC 9110 requires of one.
Tests, both verified to fail with only the source fix reverted:
- TestForwardProxy_UpgradeWithoutConnectionTokenIsStripped — bare Upgrade
through the real handler against an origin that WOULD upgrade if asked, so
the only thing keeping the request ordinary is the proxy declining to
forge the pair. Asserts 200, the body, and that the origin saw neither
header.
- TestForwardProxy_RefusesA101ToAnotherProtocol — 101/h2c answer is 502, and
the 502 response row lands.
- TestUpgradesToWebSocket_RequiresTheConnectionToken — the Connection token
table (absent, keep-alive, close, in a list, repeated, "upgrades").
- TestUpgradesToWebSocket_ReadsTheTokenList keeps testing Upgrade token-list
parsing, with its inputs given the Connection token a real request carries.
Docs: the two conditions in docs/framework-architecture.md and CLAUDE.md,
each saying why the check is not a formality.

Review — Feat: Forward WebSocket upgrades on intercepted connections
Solid work — the splice is modelled closely on handleUpgradeResponse, the prior review round's findings (Connection-token predicate, 101 protocol check, origin close on failure, stranded-direction teardown) are all fixed and pinned with tests, and the docs (CLAUDE.md, framework-architecture.md, session-api.md, codex.md) were updated in the same change. One must-fix on how the new row meets an existing consumer.

must-fix: the 101 row's durationMs is the whole WebSocket session, and /v1/usage folds it as request latency.
outboundResponseEvent sets Duration: pipeline.DurationSince(pctx.StartedAt), and this row is recorded after both splice directions end — so its Duration is the WebSocket session's lifetime, minutes or hours. The row is not a tunnel row, so the usage fold counts it: b.latSum += ms runs on every response row with Duration > 0.
core/cost/usage/usage.go:1060 excludes tunnel rows for exactly this reason: "the close carries how long the tunnel stayed OPEN — minutes for kubectl logs -f — so folding it would drag the latency mean toward tunnel lifetimes". A forwarded WebSocket's 101 row is the same shape: opaque frames, session lifetime, no model/token/cost to attribute. One 10-minute WS session against a server with a hundred ~500ms requests moves its mean latency to ~6s in /v1/usage (and the usage pane's per-server latency).
Suggested remedy: give the 101 row the tunnel row's treatment in the usage fold — skip it like e.Tunnel (which also settles whether a WS session should count as a Requests +1; the upgrade GET's own request row is not counted, Invocations nil), or exclude just the latency fold keyed on StatusCode == 101 while keeping the byte counts. The row's durationMs on the session timeline is the feature and should stay — only the aggregation misreads it.

Dobra robota — fixed in aa98ecc, and your arithmetic was almost exact.
Reproduced it before touching anything, with your fixture: a hundred 500ms requests against one host plus one ten-minute WebSocket reported a 6435.6ms mean. You predicted ~6s. The row also counted as Requests +1, which is the half that makes it inconsistent rather than merely wrong — the upgrade GET's own request row is not counted (Invocations nil), so one WebSocket added exactly one Request whose latency was its whole lifetime.
I took the remedy you preferred, the tunnel row's treatment in the fold, precisely because it settles the Requests question at the same time as the latency one. Excluding only the latency fold would have left Requests counting WS sessions under a definition nothing else in the endpoint uses. And your "same shape" reading is right on all three of the tunnel exclusion's stated reasons — lifetime not latency, opaque bytes with no model/token/cost to attribute, and a quiet change to what Requests means for every reader.
Keyed on StatusCode == 101 rather than a new event field, which is worth one sentence of justification since a status is usually the weaker thing to branch on: 101 is the condition here. The proxy records this row for no other status, and after the protocol check that landed earlier in this review round, a 101 that reached a client always means a spliced WebSocket — the relay now refuses any other switched protocol before the hijack. So there is no second producer to drift from.
One thing your comment sent me looking for that I'd have otherwise missed: the replay path. usage.Aggregator.Replay funnels through Record, so archived 101 rows are excluded too — but only because ReplayCopy is a whole-struct copy (c := *e) and therefore carries StatusCode. If that ever became a field-by-field copy that forgot it, archived WebSocket lifetimes would reappear in the mean on every restart, silently. TestReplayCopy_KeepsWhatExcludesA101Row now holds that field and Tunnel down, end to end through the ring.
durationMs stays on the row — you were right that it is the feature on the session timeline and only the aggregation misread it. TestRecord_WebSocket101IsNotARequestLatency fails with only the source fix reverted, reporting those same figures, so this cannot regress quietly.
一叶知秋 — "one falling leaf tells you autumn is here": a single row meeting one existing consumer the wrong way, and it was the whole aggregate that was off.

suggestion: the no-resend rule is keyed on the request, so it also covers a declined upgrade — the comment only justifies the 101 case.
The rationale here ("a 101 is not [a refused answer] … would tear down the connection the origin just switched") covers only the 101 arm. When the origin declines the upgrade with a non-101 (401/403/429 — the PR documents these as taking the ordinary response path), the request still never reaches resendIfAsked, so a Resender (e.g. token-exchange re-auth) never sees that answer on a forwarded upgrade.
Narrowing to resp.StatusCode != 101 alone would not be right either: the resend path strips the Upgrade pair (stripForUpstream(again, ownEncoding, false)), so a resent upgrade GET reaches the origin as a bare GET. The current rule is coherent — but only the 101 half of it is written down. A sentence noting the declined case, and that a resend could not carry the upgrade anyway, would stop a later reader from "fixing" the condition into a broken resend.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Good catch on the asymmetry — documented in aa98ecc. No code change, which I want to be explicit about rather than quietly agreeing.
You read it exactly right on both halves. The condition is keyed on forwardUpgrade, which is a property of the request, so it also skips resendIfAsked when the origin declined the upgrade with a non-101 — and the comment justified only the 101 arm, so the declined case looked like an oversight rather than a consequence.
And you are right that narrowing it to resp.StatusCode != 101 would be the wrong repair. I verified the reason you gave: resendIfAsked calls stripForUpstream(again, ownEncoding, false) — keepUpgrade=false — so a resent upgrade GET reaches the origin as a bare GET. That is not the handshake the client sent, and on an endpoint that only answers an upgrade it is not a request worth making either. A re-auth that cannot carry the upgrade cannot rescue the upgrade; the client retries the handshake itself with whatever credential it holds then.
So the rule stays request-keyed, and the comment now says that it is request-keyed, names the declined case (401/403/429), and records why making it cleverer would break the resend. That is the "stop a later reader from fixing it" sentence you asked for — it felt worth stating as a property of the rule rather than a note about one status, since the next person is most likely to arrive via exactly the reasoning you did.

nit: a splice direction that ends in an error still records a bare 101 row.
After the teardown fix both directions end and the row lands — good. But it carries StatusCode 101 and no error marker, so an operator auditing a WebSocket that broke mid-session sees a successful upgrade whose only symptom is truncated byte counts. An error.kind on the row (a splice_error, or proxy_error as the failure rows use) would make a broken session distinguishable from a cleanly closed one. The comment documents the trade-off, so leaving it is defensible — but on the MOCA one-event-per-upgrade contract it reads as a gap.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Took the nit — the 101 row now carries error.kind: "proxy_error" when the relay ended in an error (aa98ecc). You called leaving it defensible; I agreed with the other half of your sentence, that on the one-event-per-upgrade contract an event which cannot distinguish the two outcomes only half keeps it. Truncated byte counts are a symptom an operator has to already suspect to notice.
Your nit found a second bug, which is worth recording. The first version marked every error, and the assertion I added for the clean path immediately failed: a normal WebSocket close reports use of closed network connection. One side closes, the deferred conn.Close() and the context goroutine's backConn.Close() then race the direction still blocked in Read, and that direction returns net.ErrClosed. So marking every error would have flagged every healthy session as broken — strictly worse than the gap being closed, and exactly the kind of thing that would have shipped looking like a feature.
net.ErrClosed is now excluded (same errors.Is treatment transparentproxy already uses for its accept loop), and both halves are asserted, because a marker that is always set distinguishes nothing:
TestForwardProxy_WebSocketBrokenDirectionDoesNotStrandTheOther — the origin RSTs mid-session; the row must carry proxy_error.
assertUpgradedRows (both clean echo tests, plain and bridged) — a cleanly closed session must carry no error.
proxy_error rather than a new splice_error kind, matching the two pre-splice failure paths that already use it: the relay breaking is on our side, and a new kind would be a new thing for every consumer of error.kind to learn for no added discrimination. The message is sanitized — a network error's text can carry a client-supplied address.
…elay (#1488)
Addresses Hai's review of #1549 — all three comments.
must-fix: the 101 row poisoned the latency aggregate. The row is recorded
after both splice directions end, so outboundResponseEvent's
DurationSince(StartedAt) is the WebSocket SESSION's lifetime, and it is not a
tunnel row, so usage.Record folded it as a request latency. Reproduced at
Hai's own figures: a hundred 500ms requests against one host plus ONE
ten-minute WebSocket reported a 6435.6ms mean (he predicted ~6s), and the
session also counted as Requests +1 — inconsistently, since the upgrade GET's
own request row is not counted.
Fixed by the remedy he preferred: the 101 row now gets the tunnel row's
treatment in the fold, which settles the Requests question with the latency
one. The three reasons the tunnel exclusion gives all apply unchanged —
lifetime not latency, opaque bytes with no model/token/cost, and a quiet
change to what Requests means. Keyed on StatusCode rather than a new event
field because 101 IS the condition: the proxy records this row for no other
status, and after the protocol check added earlier in this review a 101 that
reached a client always means a spliced WebSocket. durationMs stays on the
session timeline, where the lifetime is the feature; only the aggregation
misread it.
Also pinned on the REPLAY path, which only works because ReplayCopy is a
whole-struct copy and so carries StatusCode. A field-by-field copy that
forgot it would put archived WebSocket lifetimes back into the mean on every
restart, silently — TestReplayCopy_KeepsWhatExcludesA101Row holds both that
field and Tunnel.
suggestion: documented the half of the no-resend rule that was not written
down. The condition is keyed on forwardUpgrade — the REQUEST — so it also
covers an upgrade the origin declined with a non-101, which the comment never
said. Hai is right that narrowing it to `resp.StatusCode != 101` would be
wrong, and the reason is now in the comment: the resend path calls
stripForUpstream(again, ownEncoding, false), so a resent upgrade reaches the
origin as a bare GET — a re-auth that cannot carry the upgrade cannot rescue
it. Left request-keyed on purpose, now with a note saying so.
nit: a splice that ends in an error now marks the 101 row with
error.kind "proxy_error", so a WebSocket that died mid-session is
distinguishable from one that closed cleanly instead of showing only
truncated byte counts.
One correction found while implementing that nit, by the assertion added for
it: net.ErrClosed must NOT be marked. A WebSocket normally ends with one side
closing, and the deferred closes then race the direction still blocked in
Read, so an ordinary close reports "use of closed network connection" — the
first version of this flagged every healthy session as broken, and
assertUpgradedRows' new "no error on a clean session" check caught it. Both
halves are now asserted, because a marker that is always set distinguishes
nothing.
Tests, the first verified to fail with only the source fix reverted:
- TestRecord_WebSocket101IsNotARequestLatency — the 100-requests-plus-one-WS
fixture, asserting neither Requests nor the sample-weighted latency mean
moves. Fails without the fix with exactly the figures above.
- TestReplayCopy_KeepsWhatExcludesA101Row — the replay path.
- TestForwardProxy_WebSocketBrokenDirectionDoesNotStrandTheOther now also
requires the error marker; assertUpgradedRows requires its absence on the
clean path.
Docs: CLAUDE.md and docs/session-api.md both state the usage exclusion with
its reason and the error marker's two cases.

Brings in the commits that landed while this branch was in review — #1561
(reload in-flight pipelines), #1562 (forgeable headers), #1563 (token cache
scope key), #1564 (tlsbridge bind redaction), #1571 (max-idle) and the rest —
and resolves the one real conflict they create here.
ONE CONFLICT, in forwardproxy.serveOutbound, and both sides were needed:
- main (#1561) introduced `pinned := s.OutboundPipeline.ForPctx(pctx)` so
every capability probe for the rest of the handler answers for the
pipeline the request actually ran on rather than whatever a mid-request
reload left in the Holder, and switched ownEncoding's two probes onto it.
- this branch had added stripForUpstream's third parameter, keepUpgrade, so
a forwarded WebSocket keeps its normalized Connection/Upgrade pair.
Main's version dropped the third argument because it did not have one; taking
either side alone would have lost the other. Resolved as main's pinned probes
calling stripForUpstream(r, ownEncoding, forwardUpgrade).
Checked rather than assumed, since the last merge of this shape hid a
semantic conflict behind a green build: every stripForUpstream call site
passes three arguments (serveOutbound's, and resendIfAsked's
keepUpgrade=false), and the WebSocket relay makes no capability probe of its
own, so there is nothing in it that #1561's pinning should have moved — the
one later probe in the function, WritesResponseBody, is already on `pinned`.
#1562 touches extproc and auth, not the forward proxy's hop-by-hop handling,
so it does not meet this feature.
Everything else auto-merged, including all three of this branch's doc edits
(framework-architecture.md's two upgrade conditions, CLAUDE.md's and
session-api.md's 101-row semantics), each verified present afterwards.
core go test 73 ok (core/plugins and core/plugins/opa fail to build for lack
of a cgo toolchain here, as on unmodified main); the 17 upgrade tests and
both usage tests pass; reloader and the whole listener tree clean;

Review: Feat: Forward WebSocket upgrades on intercepted connections
Mariusz, cześć! I think this PR has more prose than code. Some of these comments are long enough for an ISBN 📚, and the CodeQL ReplaceAll fence explains itself across twelve lines. Joking aside, it's a careful piece of work. The splice follows handleUpgradeResponse closely, every finding from the earlier round (Connection token, the 101's protocol check, closing the origin on a failed splice, the stranded direction, the 101 row in /v1/usage, the proxy_error marker) is fixed and has a test, and the docs moved in the same change. I ran the WebSocket/upgrade tests locally on the PR head (go1.26.10) and they're green.
One thing still gets through. On the bridged path, which is the one #1488 is about, a close from the origin never reaches the client. I reproduced it, the fix is about five lines, and the details are inline. No i klops, the bug is hiding in tlsbridge, a file this PR only touched for a comment. 😄

must-fix: on the TLS-bridged path, the origin's half-close never reaches the client. The client hangs, and the 101 row isn't written until the client gives up.
On the bridge, conn is not a *tls.Conn. tlsbridge.ServeConn serves the terminated connection through newOneConnListener, which wraps it in notifyConn{net.Conn}. Hijack hands back that wrapper, and the embedded interface only exposes net.Conn's method set. So this assertion fails, CloseWrite is never called, and the goroutine just sends nil. Then:
The origin closes cleanly (FIN after its close frame, as RFC 6455 §7.1.1 has the server do, or an origin restart or LB idle timeout).
io.Copy(conn, backConn) returns nil, and nothing is forwarded to the agent.
The agent's TLS stream gets neither a close_notify nor a FIN. It waits on a WebSocket whose other end is already gone.
io.Copy(backConn, brw) stays blocked on the silent agent, so the 101 row (recorded after both directions) doesn't land either. That's the one-event-per-upgrade promise again, just like the RST case from the last round, but on the clean-close path.
The plain path is fine, because there conn is a *net.TCPConn.
Repro (scratch test against this HEAD, the newBridgeStack setup with an origin that writes the 101, sleeps 100ms and closes):
plain: client read after origin FIN -> err=EOF after 100ms
bridged: client read after origin FIN -> err=i/o timeout after 3.002s
bridged: NO 101 row while client still holds the conn
With the fix below added to core/tlsbridge/serve.go, the bridged case gets EOF after 100ms:
// CloseWrite forwards a half-close to the terminated TLS conn (a close_notify),// so a WebSocket spliced over the bridge sees the origin's close.func (c*notifyConn) CloseWrite() error {
ifcw, ok:=c.Conn.(interface{ CloseWrite() error }); ok {
returncw.CloseWrite()
}
returnnil
}
(Or return an error when it's missing, and make the copy goroutine fall back to a full conn.Close(). A splice that can't half-close should close all the way rather than go quiet.)
Please also add a regression test. Every current echo test has the client close first (_ = tconn.Close()), which is exactly why this got through. An "origin closes first" variant of TestConnectBridge_WebSocketEcho that asserts the client reads EOF would pin it. Bo diabeł tkwi w szczegółach. 😈

Fixed in 44896a1 — cześć, and thank you for this one. A hang on the bridged
path is the worst place for it to be, since that is the path #1488 exists for,
and your repro was exact. I reproduced it before touching anything:
plain: client read after origin FIN -> EOF after 0.11s
bridged: client read after origin FIN -> i/o timeout after 10s
bridged: no 101 row while the client still held the conn
Your diagnosis is right down to the embedded interface, which is the part worth
restating because it is why the type assertion was never going to work: notifyConn
embeds net.Conn — the interface — so only net.Conn's method set is promoted
and CloseWrite is absent no matter what concrete type sits underneath. The probe
could not have succeeded on the bridge.
I took your first option rather than the second, and deliberately. Returning an
error when the wrapped conn cannot half-close would land in spliceErr, which marks
the row error.kind: "proxy_error" — so every clean close on such a conn would
read as a broken session, destroying exactly the distinction the previous round's
marker was added to preserve. nil is the honest answer there. A *tls.Conn, which
is what ServeConn is always handed, does implement CloseWrite, so in practice it
forwards and the fallback never fires.
Regression test added as you asked, and you were right about why this got through:
every existing upgrade test has the client close first, which never needs the
origin's FIN to travel back. TestWebSocketSplice_OriginClosesFirst covers plain and
bridged in one test, because the bug was the asymmetry and splitting them
invites fixing one side and leaving the other. It fails against the unfixed code with
the timeout above — I removed the method again afterwards to check the test is what
catches it, rather than trusting that it passes.
One note on the test's shape: it does not reuse assertUpgradedRows, which requires
non-zero byte counts in both directions. This session exchanges no frames at all —
the origin closes straight after the 101 — so the row's fields are asserted directly,
including that it carries no error, since an origin-initiated close is an ordinary
end and not a broken relay.
Masz rację, diabeł tkwi w szczegółach — and in this case in an embedded interface. 😈

suggestion: the 101 exclusion isn't limited to the forward proxy, so it also drops inbound WebSocket handshakes from /v1/usage, and the comment says that can't happen.
the proxy records this row for no other status
The reverse proxy records 101 rows too (reverseproxy/server.go, the StatusSwitchingProtocols arm in ModifyResponse, Direction: Inbound), and it records them at handshake time. Their Duration is the handshake latency, not the session's lifetime, which is the only reason the exclusion exists. Until now those rows counted as a Request with a sensible latency. With this change they quietly disappear from /v1/usage on every inbound listener. It's a small change in what Requests means, the very thing this comment warns against, but in the other direction. 🙃
or keep it everywhere on purpose and fix the comment (and the matching sentence in docs/session-api.md), so the next reader doesn't take "no other status" at its word. Either is fine with me. Pick one, just not the "pół na pół" version.

Fixed in 44896a1, scoped to outbound — your first option. No "pół na pół". 🙂
Verified the claim before changing it, because it decides which option is right: reverseproxy/server.go's ModifyResponse records the 101 immediately
(record() rather than the deferred recordOnEOFBody), and the comment there says
why — ReverseProxy hands off the connection instead of copying a body, so a
deferred record would never fire on a failed upgrade. That makes the row's Duration
the handshake latency, and the row is Direction: Inbound. So it is an ordinary
request with an ordinary latency, and the session-lifetime problem the exclusion
exists for simply does not apply to it.
Which means the status alone was never the condition, only the condition on the
forward proxy — and keying on it dropped every inbound WebSocket handshake from /v1/usage silently. You put your finger on the irony: the comment warns against
quietly changing what Requests means, and the change did exactly that in the
opposite direction.
Pinned both ways rather than one: TestRecord_WebSocket101IsNotARequestLatency
keeps the outbound exclusion, and a new TestRecord_InboundWebSocket101IsStillARequest keeps the inbound row counted. The
new one fails before the change with requests = 0, want 1, so the regression is
held from both sides and a later "simplification" back to a bare status check breaks
a test instead of a dashboard.
The comment now says outbound-only and why, and so do the matching sentences in docs/session-api.md and CLAUDE.md — you were right that leaving "no other status"
standing would mislead the next reader.
Both findings from @clawgenti's review. The first is a real hang on the
bridged path, which is the one #1488 is about.
**The origin's half-close never reached the client over the bridge.**
tlsbridge.ServeConn serves the terminated conn through newOneConnListener,
which hands Hijack a *notifyConn — and notifyConn embeds the net.Conn
INTERFACE, so only net.Conn's method set is promoted and CloseWrite is absent
whatever the concrete type underneath is. The splice's
if wc, ok := conn.(interface{ CloseWrite() error }); ok
therefore failed on the bridge, the goroutine sent nil, and nothing was
forwarded. An origin that closed first (RFC 6455 §7.1.1's server-initiated
close, an origin restart, an LB idle timeout) left the agent waiting on a
WebSocket whose other end was gone, while the client→origin copy stayed
blocked on the silent agent — so the 101 row, recorded after BOTH directions,
never landed either. The same one-event-per-upgrade loss as the RST case from
the previous round, on the clean-close path.
Reproduced before fixing, exactly as the review reported:
plain: client read after origin FIN -> EOF after 0.11s
bridged: client read after origin FIN -> i/o timeout after 10s
bridged: no 101 row while the client still held the conn
Fixed by giving notifyConn a CloseWrite that forwards to the wrapped conn. Took
the review's first option rather than the second deliberately: returning an
error when the wrapped conn cannot half-close would reach the splice's
spliceErr, which marks the row error.kind "proxy_error" — so every clean close
on such a conn would read as a broken session, the exact distinction the
previous round's marker exists to preserve. A *tls.Conn, which is what
ServeConn is always handed, does implement CloseWrite, so in practice it
forwards.
New TestWebSocketSplice_OriginClosesFirst covers both paths in one test,
because the bug WAS the asymmetry and splitting them invites fixing one side.
It fails against the unfixed code with the timeout above; verified by removing
the method again afterwards. The review's diagnosis of why this got through is
right: every existing upgrade test has the CLIENT close first, which never
needs the origin's FIN to travel back.
**The 101 exclusion from /v1/usage was not scoped to the forward proxy.** The
reverse proxy records a 101 row too (ModifyResponse's
StatusSwitchingProtocols arm, Direction: Inbound) and records it AT HANDSHAKE
TIME — ReverseProxy hands off the connection instead of copying a body, so a
deferred record would never fire — which makes that row's Duration the
handshake latency, not the session lifetime the exclusion exists to keep out of
the mean. Keyed on status alone, those rows silently vanished from /v1/usage on
every inbound listener: a change in what Requests means, which is the thing the
comment warns against, in the other direction.
Scoped to outbound, as the review's first option. Pinned both ways:
TestRecord_WebSocket101IsNotARequestLatency (outbound excluded) and the new
TestRecord_InboundWebSocket101IsStillARequest, which fails before the change
with requests = 0, want 1. The comment and the matching sentences in
docs/session-api.md and CLAUDE.md now say outbound-only and why.
Verified: full core suite 0 failures; go test -race on forwardproxy, tlsbridge
and cost/usage clean; go vet ./... and gofmt clean. CGO_ENABLED=0 throughout
(core/plugins and core/plugins/opa need runtime/cgo, unavailable in this

Comment only. TestReplayCopy_KeepsWhatExcludesA101Row named StatusCode and
Tunnel as the fields ReplayCopy has to carry for the /v1/usage exclusion to keep
applying on replay, but scoping that exclusion to outbound made Direction a
third, and the comment was not updated with it.
The protection itself was already real, which is why this is a comment and not a
fix: mutating ReplayCopy to mangle Direction to Inbound fails the test's
end-to-end half, with the latency mean moving 500ms -> 300s. The comment now
says that is what the end-to-end half is for, so it does not read as redundant
with the two direct field assertions above it and get dropped.

Close backConn when it has no CloseWrite method.
The standard Go 1.26 response body does expose CloseWrite, so this concern does not apply to the default transport. However, Server.Client allows a custom RoundTripper to return an io.ReadWriteCloser without that method. After a clean client EOF, the current branch sends nil and leaves backConn open. The origin→client copy can then remain blocked, and the paired 101 event can be delayed indefinitely.
Suggested fix
if wc, ok := backConn.(interface{ CloseWrite() error }); ok {
errc <- wc.CloseWrite()
return
}
+ // No half-close on the origin side: close it fully so the origin sees+ // the client's EOF and the origin→client copy can end.+ _ = backConn.Close()
errc <- nil

Re-review: Feat: Forward WebSocket upgrades on intercepted connections
Mariusz, that was quick. Two commits overnight, and the explanation for one CloseWrite method is longer than the method again. 😄 Both points from my last round are fixed and pinned with tests, and I checked each of them myself.
I reran my scratch repro on d434ee79. On the bridged path the client now gets EOF after 101ms (it used to time out after 3s), and the 101 row lands clean with error: nil.
I put back the old tlsbridge/serve.go and ran your new TestWebSocketSplice_OriginClosesFirst. The bridged subtest fails with the original i/o timeout, so the regression test really guards the fix and isn't just there for show. Covering plain and bridged in one test is the right call, since the bug was the difference between them.
Returning nil instead of an error when the wrapped connection can't half-close is the right trade-off. An error would set proxy_error on every clean close and wipe out the distinction the last round added. Zgoda.
suggestion (usage 101 exclusion): fixed, scoped to Direction == Outbound. The comment, CLAUDE.md and session-api.md now say the same thing, and TestRecord_InboundWebSocket101IsStillARequest covers the other direction. Bonus points for the replay test now listing Direction among the fields the exclusion reads.
About CodeRabbit's new comment on line 1539 (fully close backConn when it has no CloseWrite): as far as I can tell that can't happen. On a 101, backConn is always net/http's *readWriteCloserBody, which always hasCloseWrite. If the underlying connection can't half-close, it returns ErrNotSupported, and the splice handles that as an error and tears down both ends. So nothing hangs. No change needed.
Verified locally (go1.26.10):go vet and gofmt are clean, and listener/..., tlsbridge and cost/usage all pass. The -race run was skipped here (no cgo in my sandbox). CI on the new head: 39/39 checks passed (Spellcheck skipped).
Nothing blocking left. Approving. Dobra robota, piwo na mnie. 🍺 (On the condition that the next PR has fewer comments than code. Just kidding. Probably.)
Main moved under the branch (dead-origin bridge rework #1595/#1596, the
agent-neutral timeline, the settings writers). One textual conflict, in
CLAUDE.md's event-schema bullets, resolved by taking a side per bullet:
- bytesUp/bytesDown: ours — a forwarded WebSocket's 101 response row is
this PR's own addition to the rows carrying both directions.
- tunnel/tunnelReason: main's — the bridge-aware dead-origin wording
from #1595/#1596, which this branch never touched.
The CONNECT-path files auto-merged; the full core suite passes on the
merged tree (forwardUpgrade/relayUpgradedWebSocket and the dead-origin
fall-through coexist in server.go).

Re-reviewed after the fix commits since my last round (aa98ecc…dfd1a60). All three prior findings are resolved and pinned: the 101-latency fold is excluded in usage with tests in both directions plus the replay path, the no-resend rationale now covers the declined-upgrade arm explicitly, and the broken-splice error marker landed with the net.ErrClosed carve-out and a two-sided test. The bridged CloseWrite gap on notifyConn is fixed with plain and bridged asserted in one test — the right shape for a bug whose essence was the asymmetry. No new must-fix findings.

suggestion: the 101 exclusion also swallows the error marker the last round added — a WebSocket that broke mid-session is invisible in /v1/usage's Errors count.
This return runs before error counting, so an outbound 101 carrying proxy_error never reaches the Errors fold. The pre-splice failures still count — recordSpliceFailure records a 502 row, which passes this guard — but the mid-session break, the case the marker exists for, does not.
That is the tunnel precedent (a dial-failed tunnel close is excluded the same way), but it is the opposite of the broken-SSE-stream rule from #1543, where the row's explicit error is what the Errors count reads, not the status. The comment here justifies the exclusion on latency, bytes and Requests — the Errors consequence is in none of the three, nor in session-api.md, whose "distinguishable" claim a reader could reasonably take as counting.
Either let an error-carrying 101 fall through to the error fold (skipping only the latency/Requests fold), or add one line here and in session-api.md saying a broken relay does not appear in the Errors count. Not blocking — the timeline row is right either way.

The forward proxy stripped
Upgradefrom every request, so a WebSocket crossing it — plain or TLS-bridged — reached the origin as a bareGETand died there. This forwards the upgrade and splices the 101, on both the ordinary listener and the decrypted side of a CONNECT bridge.What changes
serveOutboundcomputesforwardUpgrade: a WebSocket upgrade header pair, minus the Responses-API WebSocket the existing 426 decline still refuses (that behavior is unchanged — on by default, OpenAI hosts only). A forwarded upgrade:Connection/UpgradethroughstripForUpstream, normalized to the one protocol forwarded (Connection: Upgrade/Upgrade: websocket, mirroringhttputil.ReverseProxy);resendIfAsked— a 101 is the upgrade succeeding, not a refused answer;relayUpgradedWebSocket, modelled on stdlibReverseProxy.handleUpgradeResponse):CloseWritepropagates half-closes, the request context closes the origin's end, and bytes buffered past the hijack are read through the returnedbufioso nothing is lost.ForceAttemptHTTP2upstream client would strand an upgrade on an h2 connection — it does not:net/httppins a request carrying exactly that header pair to HTTP/1.1 by itself (Request.requiresHTTP1). The bridged test pins this against an h2-capable origin (it asserts the origin served the upgrade over HTTP/1.1), so the stdlib behavior we rely on is guarded, not assumed.durationMsover the whole WebSocket session andttfbMsthe handshake. Frames after the 101 are relayed byte for byte, never inspected or buffered; no response plugin runs on the 101. A bridged upgrade GET is held to the CONNECT-host check like any bridged request (421 otherwise).docs/framework-architecture.md, 101-row semantics indocs/session-api.md, and the 426 decline reworded as a deliberate steer — a forwarded Responses WebSocket now works, but its frames are opaque to every parser, so the default keeps Codex on HTTPS where its traffic stays observable. RFC 8441 (WebSocket over HTTP/2 downstream) is out of scope and documented as such.Tests
TestForwardProxy_WebSocketEcho— plain path: hand-rolled upgrade GET through the proxy, 101 with the origin's own RFC 6455 sample accept, masked-frame echo round-trip, row assertions.TestConnectBridge_WebSocketEcho— the intercepted path: CONNECT → bridge-terminated TLS → upgrade GET → 101 → echo across both splices, HTTP/1.1 pin asserted, tunnel-open + request + 101 rows asserted.TestConnectBridge_WebSocketMisdirectedHost— a bridged upgrade whoseHostnames another authority than its tunnel's CONNECT target is refused 421 before anything is forwarded.TestForwardProxy_EndToEnd_ForwardsTheWebSocketUpgrade(reworked from the old strip test) — the origin receives the normalized pair; a non-101 answer takes the ordinary response path.TestStripForUpstream_*— the strip still applies to non-websocket upgrades and no-upgrade requests; the forwarded pair is normalized.go vet,gofmt, and thelistener,tlsbridge,config,pipelinesuites pass, plus a-racerun of the WebSocket tests.Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) noreply@anthropic.com
