This is here because libuv for some reason call read after eof on windows.

It calls it because it receives a RST from the server. The behavior of the client is correct.
The real question is what does the TLS/HTTPS/libuv server code do to make Windows send a RST.
On a POSIX system the two most common reasons would be

  • closing a socket that has data waiting to be read
  • setting an (aggressive) lingering option
    On a Windows it could be something else too - Windows used to be infamous for its RSTs (it seems it is much better now that some years ago)
    But for me, this a server-side problem - the client simply reports that it received a RST - which it does receive

OSX does it too
Hopefully it will be the same issue on both platforms

It is related to the handling of the res.end() in the legacy http code - it effectively closes the socket while incoming data is still waiting in it. I am digging further, but this is definitely an http server problem - nothing to do with stream.

On Windows and OSX, the HTTP server will often make
the OS send a TCP RST packet by shutting down the
socket before all incoming data has been read.
Normally, libuv should take care of this (?), but it does
not on Windows and OSX

Refs: nodejs#35904
On Windows, do not skip delaying the closesocket
when the socket is not shared with another process -
I don't see any reason which will allow this optimization

@ronag This is the real fix, however this needs to be merged in libuv
I tried working around the issue in Node, but there are lots of special cases to handle and this does not belong in Node anyway

The comment here seems mixed up between send and recv buffers. The
default behavior on calling `closesocket` is already to do a graceful
shutdown (see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsock/nf-winsock-closesocket
with default l_onoff=zero) if it is the last open handle. The expect
behavior if there are pending reads in flight is to send an RST packet,
notifying the client that the server connection was destroyed before
acknowledging the EOF.

This is an attempt to fix some resource management issues on Windows.

Win32 sockets has a bug where it sends an RST packet if there is an outstanding overlapped WSARecv call. We can avoid that by being certain to explicitly cancel our read request first.

This also removes some conditional cleanup code, since we might as well clean it up eagerly (like unix). Otherwise, it looks to me like these might cause the accept callbacks to be run after the endgame had freed the memory for them.

nodejs-ci pushed a commit to libuv/ci-tmp-libuv-node that referenced this pull request Nov 13, 2020
RFC 5246 section-7.2.1 requires that the implementation must immediately
stop using the stream, as it is no longer TLS-encrypted. The stream is
permitted to still pump events (and errors) to other users, but those
are now unencrypted, so we should not process them here. But therefore,
we do not want to stop the underlying stream, as there could be another
user of it, but we do remove ourselves as a listener.

The section also states that the application must destroy the stream
immediately (discarding any pending writes, and sending a close_notify
response back), but we leave that to the upper layer of the application
here, as it should be sufficient to permit standards compliant usage
just to be ignoring read events.

the stream to continue to flush output.

There appears to be some inconsistencies in the way nodejs handles
ownership of the underlying stream, with `TLS.close()` on the write side
also calling shutdown on the underlying stream (thus assuming other
users of the underlying stream are not permitted), while receiving EOF
on the read side leaves the underlying channel open. These
inconsistencies are left for a later person to resolve, if the extra
functionality is needed (as described in nodejs#35904). The current goal here
is to the fix the occasional CI exceptions depending on the timing of
these kernel messages through the TCP stack.
