When OutgoingMessage transitions from pre-socket buffering (Path B) to socket-connected writing (Path A), the backpressure domain changes — subsequent writes go directly to the socket, which enforces its own backpressure via socket.write() return values. The OM should emit drain at this transition point to signal that its buffer is clear and the caller can resume writing under the socket backpressure regime. Previously, _flush() gated drain emission on writableLength === 0 which included socket.writableLength. This conflated two independent backpressure domains: the OM pre-socket buffer and the socket kernel write queue. When the socket had a higher writableHighWaterMark than the OM (e.g. agent-reused socket from a prior request), the socket was never backpressured and never emitted drain, causing a permanent deadlock. Additionally, avoid reusing a pooled socket in http.Agent when its writableHighWaterMark differs from the request highWaterMark, so that the user backpressure threshold is respected for the common case of the built-in Agent.

Node.js Core Tests
This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.
For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.
On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.
For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the
autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎
-
All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via
known_issues.status. ↩︎ -
The tests are for the logic in
lib/internal/main/prof_process.jsandlib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
