What

  • Track in-flight HTTP requests within the HAR collector
  • Record capture errors during request lifecycle processing

Why

  • Improve HAR tracking accuracy and visibility into capture failures

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • HAR captures can show in-progress requests and include request IDs, elapsed time, partial response content, and read errors.
    • Response-body capture now defaults to 4 MiB and supports byte-size configuration.
    • Strategic merge patches now support keyed-list merging, list ordering, deletions, and retain-keys behavior.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Retry waits now stop when the request context is canceled or expires. Default retries are limited to transport errors for methods other than POST and PATCH.
    • Malformed JSON and form bodies now receive configured secret redaction during capture.
    • Unsupported custom transports now return errors instead of causing a panic.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Kubernetes-style strategic merge patching, changes HTTP retry and transport handling, and updates HAR capture to track in-flight requests, record completion errors, and use a larger configurable response-body limit.

Changes

HAR Capture and Request Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Collector lifecycle and middleware
har/collector.go, har/metadata.go, har/middleware.go, har/registry.go, http/client.go
The collector assigns request IDs, exposes pending snapshots, and handles completed entries through callbacks or handlers. Middleware records timing, metadata, and errors.
Response body capture and replay
har/har.go, har/middleware.go, har/body_error_test.go
Body capture preserves read errors while replaying captured bytes. The response-body limit defaults to 4 MiB and uses the byte-size property http.har.response.body.length. Malformed JSON and form data use secret stripping.
Lifecycle and transport integration tests
har/suite_test.go, har/inflight_test.go, har/lifecycle_test.go, http/har_ginkgo_test.go, http/har_inflight_test.go
Tests cover pending and completed entries, lifecycle callback errors, metadata capture, redirects, and requests through the legacy NTLM transport.

HTTP Transport and Request Handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry eligibility and context-aware backoff
http/request.go, http/retry.go, http/retry_body_test.go, http/retry_legacy_test.go
Legacy retries stop when the context is done or the method is POST or PATCH. Backoff observes cancellation. Tests cover retry eligibility and body replay.
Transport updates beneath middleware
http/client.go, http/middleware_order_test.go
Transport settings update the concrete base transport and rebuild the middleware chain. Unsupported transports produce errors that affect subsequent requests.

Strategic Merge Patch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Patch API and schema metadata
merge/strategicpatch/patch.go, merge/strategicpatch/meta.go, merge/strategicpatch/internal/json/*, merge/strategicpatch/errors.go, merge/strategicpatch/mergepatch/errors.go
Adds byte- and map-based patch APIs, merge options, schema metadata lookup, JSON field discovery, number-preserving JSON decoding, and patch errors.
Strategic patch execution
merge/strategicpatch/directives.go, merge/strategicpatch/merge_map.go, merge/strategicpatch/merge_slice.go, merge/strategicpatch/order.go
Implements map and slice patching, including merge keys, list ordering, deletion and replacement directives, and retain-keys handling.
Struct-tag integration
merge/merge.go, merge/strategic.go, merge/patch_strategy_test.go
Applies strategic list rules in merge.Apply for fields with Kubernetes patch tags. Tests cover tagged lists, pointers, nested fields, and invalid tag combinations.
Patch behavior and fixture coverage
merge/strategicpatch/*_test.go
Adds structured tests and raw fixtures for two-way and three-way patches, list ordering, retain-keys cases, numeric precision, RawExtension replacement, and unknown fields.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-532 — Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

Redact the raw body when url.ParseQuery fails in formURLEncodedFormatter.Format.

formURLEncodedFormatter.Format returns the parse error before redacting sensitive keys. printBodyReader then writes the original body when formatting fails, so malformed form data can expose secrets in logs. Apply the proposed logger.StripSecrets fallback and return nil after writing the redacted body.

82-107: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Durable mode drops PostData.Text only from the stored pending copy, not from the onStart payload.

track clears Request.PostData.Text only on pendingEntry. onStart then receives &entry, which still holds the full request body. Entries() returns early for durable collectors, so pendingEntry is never read in durable mode. The redaction therefore has no effect. The pending map also keeps a copy of every in-flight entry, including headers.

Decide which contract you want:

  • If durable owners should receive the request body at start, remove the dead clearing block.
  • If durable owners should not receive the body at start, pass the cleared copy to onStart.
Option: pass the body-less copy to onStart
 	if onStart != nil {
-		entry.Pending = true
-		c.recordError(onStart(&entry))
+		started := pendingEntry
+		started.Pending = true
+		c.recordError(onStart(&started))
 	}

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep c.tlsConfig aligned with the installed transport.

If a caller uses TLSConfig(...), then Use(mw).DisableKeepAlive(true), concreteTransport clones TLSClientConfig, but setConcreteTransport leaves c.tlsConfig pointing to the old copy. A later request with a Host override sets ServerName on that old copy. The installed transport can then verify the server against the URL host instead and reject a valid certificate. Update the configured TLS pointer when replacing the transport, without changing the client's default TLS initialization behavior. Go documents Transport.Clone as a deep copy of exported fields.

Do not rebuild stateful middleware for every proxied request.

If a client uses both Use(mw) and Proxy(...), roundTrip calls setProxy on every request. This line constructs a new middleware chain each time. Middleware that keeps a counter, cache, or other instance state loses that state between requests. Configure the base transport once per proxy change, or retain the chain when the proxy is unchanged.
