Description of change

This makes it easier to see what header has an invalid value. As discussed on the CTC call today (10/19/2016), this is a way to get which header is causing the throw without introducing a breaking change (changing error messages is considered breaking)

Ref: #9010

Maybe this doesn't/won't matter to most people, but do we know if V8 will also skip the string creation if it notices that debug() is a noop? I mention this because JSON.stringify() isn't the fastest thing in the world compared to other built-in functions or statements.

I think this may be even more of an issue than before because anyone that would hit this code path would presumably have a try-catch to catch the thrown exception and try-catch no longer causes a deopt of the containing function. If try-catch still resulted in a deopt, one could argue the call to JSON.stringify() wouldn't matter much because that perf hit would pale in comparison to a permanent function deopt.

evanlucas · 2016-10-19T22:35:15Z

Maybe it would be better to use something like debug('blah blah %s', name)? Then we won't incur the penalty of formatting unless the NODE_DEBUG environment variable has http?

cjihrig · 2016-10-20T00:20:04Z

Wouldn't %j do a safe stringify (util.format()), and avoid any penalty when debug() is a noop? Of course, %s should work too.

mscdex · 2016-10-20T00:56:20Z

Yeah using one of those two might be better.

evanlucas · 2016-10-20T21:59:33Z

ok updated. I went with %s since we already know that name is a valid http token

mscdex · 2016-10-20T22:17:51Z

You might add double quotes around the %s to help highlight the header name.

mscdex · 2016-10-20T22:57:25Z

LGTM

What about The trailer content contains invalid characters error? Shouldn't it be also changed?

This makes it easier to see what header has an invalid value.

evanlucas · 2016-10-25T13:23:04Z

Running CI one more time. @jasnell @thefourtheye @cjihrig, I added two more debug statements, PTAL. Thanks!

is this something we want to backport? If so it will require manual backporting for both lts release streams

Sorry for the delay @MylesBorins. I'll submit backport PRs.
