Fixes #2714

  • fixing output writing #2462 moved the -sr write into the output loop whenever a matcher or filter is set. Since then, -sr -ob -mc 200 stores the full body again.
    • The output loop checks r.scanopts.OmitBody, but New() never set that field.
    • The loop also removes resp.ResponseBody, which is only filled with -irr, -mdc or -fdc.
  • New() now sets scanopts.OmitBody from options.OmitBody.
  • With -ob, both store paths (with and without a matcher) now store RawHeaders, the status line and headers. They no longer cut the body text out of the raw response with strings.ReplaceAll. That approach missed bodies whose bytes changed with charset decoding (e.g. iso-8859-1), and a short body such as OK was also cut out of the status line. Matching still runs on the full body, so -ms/-mr work as before.
  • Added TestStoreResponse_omitBodyStoresHeadersOnly. It covers a latin-1 body and the body OK, each with and without -mc 200. All four cases fail on dev (f878c7a).

Tested with:

  • go test -race ./runner/ ./common/...
  • go vet ./runner/ ./common/...
  • golangci-lint run ./runner/...
  • Checked with the binary: with -sr -ob and -sr -ob -mc 200, a latin-1 response is stored without its body and HTTP/1.0 200 OK stays intact

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Stored scan responses now honor the body-omission setting and retain the HTTP status line and response headers while excluding the body. This behavior is consistent when responses are analyzed or written to output, including when a status-code matcher is used.

Walkthrough

The runner now propagates OmitBody to scan options and removes response data before storing matched responses. An integration test checks that stored output retains the HTTP status line and omits the response body.

Changes

Stored response body omission

Layer / File(s) Summary
Propagate OmitBody through stored-response output
runner/runner.go, runner/runner_test.go
The runner sets ScanOptions.OmitBody and removes response data from raw output when body omission is enabled. The integration test verifies that a response matched by status code is stored without its body.

Stored responses omit bodies after matching. The short-body test can be strengthened, but no merge-blocking defect was established.

Explanation

The changes satisfy [#2714]. New copies options.OmitBody into scanopts.OmitBody, so the storage path used for matcher and filter runs receives the omission setting. After matching, that path stores resp.Response.RawHeaders when resp.Response is present. The no-matcher path uses the same headers-only representation. Matching can therefore run before body omission. TestStoreResponse_omitBodyStoresHeadersOnly covers storage with and without -mc 200, including a Latin-1 body and the short body OK.

Explanation

The changes stay within [#2714]. The production changes configure -omit-body for the output loop and store headers without the body. The added test verifies the reported regression and edge cases. No unrelated behavior or files appear in the reviewed diff.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

Nitpick Assert that the short-body response stores no body bytes.

563-563: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Assert that the short-body response stores no body bytes.

The "short body" case sets marker to "", so the body-absence check never runs. The remaining checks match only the status line and the Content-Type header. A stored response that still contains the body OK after the headers passes this case, so a body-omission regression for short bodies would not fail this test.

The check must read only the response section. The stored file ends with "\n\n\n" and the response URL, and the request dump before the response also contains a \r\n\r\n terminator. Splitting on the first \r\n\r\n therefore does not isolate the response body. Do not use "OK" as the marker, because the status line HTTP/1.1 200 OK contains it.

Review comment at @runner/runner_test.go at line 563:
Update the “short body” case in the test table so it inspects only the stored
response section and asserts that no body bytes follow the response headers. Use
a response-specific boundary that excludes the request dump and trailing
metadata; do not rely on an empty marker or search for “OK,” which also appears
in the status line.
