The behavior of
res.writeHead()
is changed in Node@6 (and possibly node@4.4.5) so that it can throw aRangeError
for certain statusCodes, see nodejs/node#6291. When this throws, hapi will log an internal error without sending a response.This PR adds a
try/catch
to catch this error and respond with a500
to the client instead.Additionally, it will catch thrown errors from
res.setHeader()
, eg. for an empty string header, and respond as above.
