Description of change

This makes it easier to see what header has an invalid value. As discussed on the CTC call today (10/19/2016), this is a way to get which header is causing the throw without introducing a breaking change (changing error messages is considered breaking)

Ref: #9010

Maybe this doesn't/won't matter to most people, but do we know if V8 will also skip the string creation if it notices that debug() is a noop? I mention this because JSON.stringify() isn't the fastest thing in the world compared to other built-in functions or statements.

I think this may be even more of an issue than before because anyone that would hit this code path would presumably have a try-catch to catch the thrown exception and try-catch no longer causes a deopt of the containing function. If try-catch still resulted in a deopt, one could argue the call to JSON.stringify() wouldn't matter much because that perf hit would pale in comparison to a permanent function deopt.

evanlucas · 2016-10-19T22:35:15Z

Maybe it would be better to use something like debug('blah blah %s', name)? Then we won't incur the penalty of formatting unless the NODE_DEBUG environment variable has http?

cjihrig · 2016-10-20T00:20:04Z

Wouldn't %j do a safe stringify (util.format()), and avoid any penalty when debug() is a noop? Of course, %s should work too.

mscdex · 2016-10-20T00:56:20Z

Yeah using one of those two might be better.

evanlucas · 2016-10-20T21:59:33Z

ok updated. I went with %s since we already know that name is a valid http token

mscdex · 2016-10-20T22:17:51Z

You might add double quotes around the %s to help highlight the header name.

LGTM

What about The trailer content contains invalid characters error? Shouldn't it be also changed?

This makes it easier to see what header has an invalid value.

evanlucas · 2016-10-25T13:23:04Z

Running CI one more time. @jasnell @thefourtheye @cjihrig, I added two more debug statements, PTAL. Thanks!

is this something we want to backport? If so it will require manual backporting for both lts release streams

Sorry for the delay @MylesBorins. I'll submit backport PRs.
