Undici reverts HTTP/2 fetch change, websocket fixes land

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Node.js · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Undici's day was dominated by a revert that restores response headers and redirect following for Node.js global fetch over HTTP/2, alongside a large jump in websocket test passes.

Revert "fix: preserve HTTP/2 for legacy fetch consumers" nodejs/undici

by mcollina

Reverts the change that let HTTP/2 flow through Dispatcher1Wrapper, because object-form headers reached legacy callbacks and made Node.js global fetch drop response headers and stop following redirects. Regression coverage for the reported hang was added using an HTTP/2-capable server, so global fetch over HTTP/2 behaves as it did before the original patch.

by KhafraDev

KhafraDev reports websocket Web Platform Tests moving from 1255 passing and 354 failing to 1467 passing and 102 failing, mostly by fixing h2 websockets. The commit also skips the slowest tests, with the author noting Ubuntu needs 30 minutes to run.

Friendica: Min-Version & Security Fixings nodejs/official-images

by nupplaphil

Friendica's minimum version rises to 2026.05, and two packaging bugs are fixed: run_as passed its argument to sh -c without proper validation, and setup_msmtp.sh wrote /etc/msmtprc with permissions that were too open. Groovy images also picked up new release lines and Java 25.
