Zoltan Kochan 0cf64b76eb fix: skip Content-Length check when response is content-encoded (#11508)
* fix: skip Content-Length check when response is content-encoded

Per the HTTP spec, Content-Length refers to the encoded payload when
Content-Encoding is set, but undici fetch yields decoded bytes — so the
strict size check rejected legitimate downloads with
ERR_PNPM_BAD_TARBALL_SIZE. Closes #11506.

* fix(tarball-fetcher): match v10's no-compression behavior

Verified the user's report against v10 source: v10 worked because it
called node-fetch with `compress: false` (network/fetch/src/fetchFromRegistry.ts
on the v10 branch), which suppressed Accept-Encoding and prevented
auto-decompression. v11's switch to undici fetch lost that opt-out — undici
sends Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br by default and transparently
decodes the body, while keeping Content-Length pointed at the encoded
payload (confirmed empirically). The strict size check then rejects the
download.

Restore v10's effective behavior by sending Accept-Encoding: identity for
tarball requests, and as defense in depth against misbehaving servers
that stamp Content-Encoding regardless, skip the strict size check when
the response declares a non-identity Content-Encoding.

* fix(tarball-fetcher): parse Content-Encoding as a coding list

Per RFC 9110 §8.4 the header is a comma-separated, case-insensitive list
that may include whitespace and mixed codings (e.g. `gzip, identity`).
The previous string-equality check misclassified those — the response is
now treated as encoded iff any coding is non-`identity`.

pnpm

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:

  • Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
  • Efficient. Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage.
  • Great for monorepos.
  • Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json.
  • Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml.
  • Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
  • Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
  • See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.

To quote the Rush team:

Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and weve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background

pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:

  1. If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store. If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files, pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
  2. All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).

As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
