Summary

  • Wrap res.setHeader() in writeHeaders middleware with a try/catch to gracefully skip headers containing invalid characters (e.g. control chars like \u0001)
  • Prevents proxy crash with ERR_INVALID_CHAR when upstream servers return malformed headers
  • Adds regression test that simulates Node.js header validation behavior

Upstream ref: http-party/node-http-proxy#1395

catch ERR_INVALID_CHAR errors from res.setHeader() when upstream servers
return headers with invalid characters (e.g. control chars), instead of
crashing the proxy. Invalid headers are silently skipped.
