Are there performance regressions or improvements?

lpinca · 2018-04-25T06:30:20Z

Ok thank you, it seems the impact is big.

mscdex · 2018-04-25T10:44:43Z

I think we should work on minimizing the performance regression first.

joyeecheung · 2018-04-25T10:50:00Z

@Hackzzila You may want to provide an option to use the new parser and benchmark against http.request instead of url. The cost of switching the parser may be less significant in the context of http.request.

BridgeAR · 2018-04-25T11:00:43Z

I agree with @joyeecheung. Yes, it is slower to use the WHATWG URL parser in combination with urlToOptions but likely, this is not a major pain point overall when doing http.request. So I would like to see a benchmark and or a profile for that.

As a separate concern, we can try to improve the overall WHATWG URL parser performance.

TimothyGu · 2018-04-25T14:25:55Z

Aww darn, I had a local branch that had this change, but is slightly different in that it still maintains compatibility with the older URL parser. I just pushed it as a WIP to #20288, and I'd appreciate any help in getting it completed.

Hackzzila · 2018-04-25T14:47:39Z

I modified benchmark/http/create-clientrequest.js to pass in a string, and I disabled the last few lines of the CreateConnection constructer so it wouldn't make a connection.

custom-test\create-clientrequest.js n=1000000 len=128: 267,812.752845535

There seems to be a big difference between the two. However, I have a few points.

http2 uses the WHATWG URL parser already
I don't see many people passing a string into ClientRequest anyways.
I feel that "correct" URL parsing is more important than performance (however it may be too much in this case)

Maybe this PR should wait until the WHATWG URL parser has better performance.

TimothyGu · 2018-04-25T15:35:57Z

I disabled the last few lines of the CreateConnection constructer so it wouldn't make a connection.

I don't think you should. I think @joyeecheung's intent is for us to measure how much time URL parsing takes relative to a network call, so that we can find out if we need to worry about URL parsing in this context at all.

lpinca · 2018-04-25T16:05:05Z

I don't think it's very useful because in that case you are not benchmarking URL parsing.

Hackzzila · 2018-04-25T16:21:47Z

Oh, I misunderstood. I ran some new benchmarks.

jasnell · 2018-04-26T16:36:13Z

@Hackzzila ... thank you for this. I think I'm leaning more in favor of the alternative approach that @TimothyGu uses here #20288. Specifically, we should allow for fallback to the older url.parse() for the time being when new URL() fails. There will be significantly less chance of breaking user code. Once the deprecation that #20288 adds lands in Node.js 11, we would be free to end-of-life the url.parse() support in Node.js 12. Makes the runway slightly longer but we end up in the same place ultimately.

jasnell

Making it explicit... I'd like to see this and #20288 reconciled before either lands.

BridgeAR · 2018-04-26T16:49:31Z

I personally think it would have been great to incorporate the changes from @TimothyGu instead of having a separate PR.

mcollina

LGTM.

TimothyGu · 2018-04-27T15:40:11Z

This needs tests for three types of cases:

Default to WHATWG URL parser in http.request (and friends) #19468
http://xn--1ug.example/ where a deprecation message is shown
Completely invalid URLs where an ERR_INVALID_URL is now thrown

TimothyGu · 2018-04-27T23:08:36Z

CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/14556/

This switches the url parser from `url.parse()` to the WHATWG URL parser while keeping `url.parse()` as fallback. Also add tests for invalid url deprecations and correct hostname checks.
