From baf84950781f253ab0244779a9e40b5dc0f4930e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miles Elam Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2018 00:11:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] http: process 100, 102-199 according to specs. Adding ServerResponse.writeProcessing to send 102 status codes. Added an `'information'` event to ClientRequest to handle 1xx status codes except 101 Upgrade. 101 Upgrade is excluded due to its non-informational processing according to RFC7231, Section 6.2.2. This affects several modules downstream that use the http module, e.g., node-fetch, all of whom violate HTTP RFCs due to this module. As such, this could introduce a breaking change for downstream if HTTP standards were ignored in an ad-hoc fashion. See also RFC2518 RFC8297.
