Pipelined requests that got a 204, 304, 1xx or HEAD response waited for a body until the read timeout and never matched, because the rawhttp pipeline client hands back the connection reader when there is no length (root fix in projectdiscovery/rawhttp#549). It now uses the rawhttp fix from projectdiscovery/rawhttp#549, which reads no body for these responses in the pipeline client, so projectdiscovery/rawhttp#549 must merge first. The regression tests use a local server that answers a pipelined 204, a HEAD with Content-Length and a 304 with Content-Length, each followed by a normal response.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Expanded coverage for pipelined HTTP responses, including prompt handling of empty responses and preservation of subsequent response bodies after HEAD and 304 responses.
  • Added checks that these scenarios return the expected number of responses and complete within the expected time.

Closes #7953

Walkthrough

The HTTP pipeline path now replaces selected bodyless response bodies with http.NoBody. A regression test checks two pipelined GET requests against a server that returns unframed 204 responses.

Changes

HTTP pipeline response handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize bodyless pipelined responses pkg/protocols/http/utils.go, pkg/protocols/http/request.go	generatedRequest.method retrieves the method from the available request representation. After a successful pipelined request, executeRequest passes the response and method to dropPipelinedBodylessBody. The helper replaces non-nil bodies with http.NoBody for HEAD requests and 1xx, 204, or 304 responses.
Verify unframed 204 pipeline responses pkg/protocols/http/pipeline_test.go, pkg/protocols/http/request_test.go	The regression test checks that two pipelined GET requests match and complete in under three seconds when the server returns unframed 204 responses. The goroutine-leak test ignores the pipeline client’s idle connections.

Merge Risk: Low · up to b84ff

The dependency fix is compatible, but add 1xx regression coverage and narrow the goroutine-leak exemption before merging.

Explanation

Issue #7953 requires pipelined 204, 304, 1xx, and HEAD responses to avoid body reads that delay matching. The dependency update incorporates rawhttp PR #549, which makes the pipeline client use no body for responses that cannot have one. New tests cover 204, HEAD, and 304 responses followed by another response, verify matching and body alignment, and complete within three seconds.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #7953. The new pipeline helpers and regression tests verify the reported behavior. The goroutine-test exclusion accounts for the pipeline client's expected idle connections. The rawhttp dependency update supplies the required fix.

- Line 1181: Update the pipeline reader before the rawhttp call that precedes
dropPipelinedBodylessBody so HEAD and 304 responses are treated as bodyless
before any declared Content-Length is read; alternatively, use a rawhttp version
that provides this behavior. Preserve the existing post-return normalization for
other bodyless responses.

Do not ignore the entire clientpipeline package.

The rawhttp worker can remain blocked indefinitely after a connection error: init.func1 waits on w := <-c.chW after worker() returns an error, even when no request is queued. The package-wide exemption hides this goroutine, not only the writer and reader goroutines that wait for the 10-second idle timeout.

The three cases in this test do not set Pipeline: true, so this exemption is not needed here.

Suggested fix

-		// pipelined connections are kept by the rawhttp pipeline client until
-		// they are idle for 10s, the same as the net/http idle pool above.
-		goleak.IgnoreAnyContainingPkg("github.com/projectdiscovery/rawhttp/clientpipeline"),

Remove the package-wide goleak.IgnoreAnyContainingPkg exemption and its
explanatory comment from this test; the three cases do not enable Pipeline, so
they do not require a clientpipeline leak exemption.

Add an informational-response case to the pipeline regression.

The rawhttp contract treats every 1xx status as bodyless. The current test covers only HEAD and 304, so a regression in 1xx classification could consume bytes from the next response while the test remains green.
