Description

This improves the usability of HTTP header objects by making them properly comparable and suitable for use in collections. The implementation follows Dart best practices for equality and hash code implementation, ensuring consistent behavior across all header types.

Technical Details:

  • All header classes now implement proper == operators that compare all relevant fields
  • Hash codes are computed using Object.hash() or Object.hashAll() for multiple fields
  • Collection fields use ListEquality or IterableEquality for deep comparison

Breaking Changes

Some constructor are no longer const to prevent constructing invalid instances.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added value-based equality across many headers for reliable comparison and hashing.
    • Introduced parse helpers for several headers.
    • Exposed the X-Forwarded-For typed header.
  • Refactor

    • Switched HTTP method representation to an enum; method strings are now lowercase.
    • Standardized wildcard handling to use empty lists instead of null.
    • Enforced non-empty inputs and immutability in multiple header constructors.
    • Updated logging to use the enum method name.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Stricter validation surfaces errors for empty/invalid headers (e.g., Range, Accept-*, X-Forwarded-For).

Assessment against linked issues: Out-of-scope changes

Code Change Explanation
Migrate RequestMethod from class to enum and update usages (lib/src/method/request_method.dart; lib/src/middleware/middleware_logger.dart; lib/src/middleware/routing_middleware.dart) Not required by equality/roundtrip/validation of headers; affects method representation and middleware.
Change encodeMethodList to use RequestMethod.codec.encode with expand (lib/src/headers/codecs/common_types_codecs.dart) Alters codec behavior for method lists; unrelated to adding header equality or constructor validation.
Import/export wiring adjustments for X-Forwarded-For (lib/src/headers/headers.dart; lib/src/headers/standard_headers_extensions.dart; lib/src/headers/typed/typed_headers.dart) Module wiring/export changes are not directly tied to equality or validation objectives.

35-44: Validate directive name is non-empty during parsing

'=(self)' would currently yield an empty directive name and later encode to an invalid =(). Fail fast with a clear error.

22-24: Docstring-contract mismatch: code throws on non-100-continue, but docs say it returns a custom instance

Current behavior is to throw FormatException('Invalid value'). Update the docs to match the behavior (or implement a custom-instance path if intended).

Doc fix:

-  /// Parses a [value] and returns the corresponding [ExpectHeader] instance.
-  /// If the value does not match any predefined types, it returns a custom instance.
+  /// Parses a [value] and returns the corresponding [ExpectHeader] instance.

66-68: Docstring-contract mismatch: code throws on unknown values, but docs say it returns a custom instance

parse throws FormatException('Invalid value') for unknown destinations. Align the docs with actual behavior (or support custom values if intended).

Doc fix:

58-61: Bug: weak-prefix detection ignores leading/trailing whitespace.
parse() checks value.startsWith('W/') instead of the trimmed input, causing mis-parsing for values like ' W/"abc"'. Trim first, then detect and slice.

Apply:

-    final isWeak = value.startsWith(_weakPrefix);

23-29: Enforce XOR: exactly one of date or etag must be set.
Current check only rejects both-null; both-set is still allowed and encodes as date silently. Tighten constructor per spec intent and PR objective #145.

24-35: Disallow half-null ranges (start or end null alone) — currently encodes invalid strings like bytes 10-null/*.
Constructor allows start != null XOR end != null, while _encode() assumes either both null or both set. Enforce the invariant at construction.

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/authorization_header.dart (4)

35-41: Prefix check bug: don’t trim the scheme constant.

prefix.trim() turns 'Bearer ' into 'Bearer', so startsWith matches invalid inputs (e.g., BearerXYZ), then delegates to a parser that will throw. Check against the exact prefix.

185-188: Avoid leaking Basic credentials in logs.

toString() exposes the password. Mask it.

-  String toString() =>
-      'BasicAuthorizationHeader(username: $username, password: $password)';
+  String toString() =>
+      'BasicAuthorizationHeader(username: $username, password: ****)';

326-342: Digest headerValue formatting is invalid.

Joining with ', ' produces "Digest, username=..." (comma after scheme). It must be "Digest username=...".

-  String get headerValue {
-    return [
-      'Digest',
-      '$_username="$username"',

27-30: Make parameters list immutable to uphold equality/hash invariants

Storing a mutable parameters list risks hash/equality violations if mutated after construction. Copy defensively and wrap in List.unmodifiable; this requires dropping const on the constructor.

46-62: Parsing drops non key="value" tokens when mixed with quoted pairs

If paramsString contains both quoted pairs and bare tokens (e.g., token="abc", xyz), the regex only captures the pairs and silently ignores xyz, causing lossy roundtrips.

  • Either reject mixed forms or parse both forms explicitly. Example approach: split by commas (outside quotes), then for each segment parse key="value" or a bare token.

I can provide a safe parser if you confirm desired behavior for mixed forms.

8-28: Prevent invalid/mutable state: make .etags non-empty and immutable

Empty non-wildcard ETag lists create invalid headers and mutable lists can break equality/hash. Enforce non-empty and freeze the list in the base ctor (dropping const is acceptable per PR goals #145).

-  /// Creates an [ETagConditionHeader] with specific ETags.
-  const ETagConditionHeader.etags(this.etags) : isWildcard = false;

+  IfMatchHeader.etags(super.etags) : super.etags();

-  const IfNoneMatchHeader.etags(super.etags) : super.etags();

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/permission_policy_header.dart (1)

65-75: Equality/hash look correct; small consistency nit

Deep list equality is correct. If you want to align with the PR’s stated pattern, consider Object.hashAll(directives) for hashing (order-sensitive as today) — not required.

Optional diff:

-  int get hashCode =>
-      const ListEquality<PermissionsPolicyDirective>().hash(directives);
+  int get hashCode => Object.hashAll(directives);
lib/src/headers/typed/headers/te_header.dart (2)

56-63: Order sensitivity: verify desired semantics; consider unordered equality.

If TE values are a set (order-insensitive), switch to UnorderedIterableEquality; otherwise keep as-is.

Optional change:

-      other is TEHeader &&
-          const ListEquality<TeQuality>().equals(encodings, other.encodings);
+      other is TEHeader &&
+          const UnorderedIterableEquality<TeQuality>()
+              .equals(encodings, other.encodings);
-  int get hashCode => const ListEquality<TeQuality>().hash(encodings);
+  int get hashCode =>
+      const UnorderedIterableEquality<TeQuality>().hash(encodings);

31-45: Parsing ;q is brittle (extra params, spacing, order, case).

Splitting on ';q=' will fail for inputs like gzip;level=9;q=0.5 or q = 0.7. Consider tokenizing on ; and scanning params (case-insensitive key), ignoring unknown params, and rejecting trailers;q=....

Sketch:

TeQuality _parseOne(String raw) {
  final parts = raw.split(';');
  final enc = parts.first.trim();
  double? q;
  for (final p in parts.skip(1)) {
    final kv = p.split('=');
    if (kv.length == 2 && kv[0].trim().toLowerCase() == 'q') {
      final parsed = double.tryParse(kv[1].trim());
      if (parsed == null || parsed < 0 || parsed > 1) {
        throw const FormatException('Invalid quality value');
      }
      q = parsed;
    }
  }
  return TeQuality(enc, q);
}

Add tests for:

  • gzip;level=9;q=0.5
  • q with spaces/case (Q = 0.7)
  • trailers;q=0.5 → invalid
  • List order equality per chosen semantics.

109-111: Typo in toString(): class name mismatch

Use ForwardedIdentifier to match the class.

-  String toString() => 'ForwardedNode(identifier: $identifier, port: $port)';
+  String toString() =>
+      'ForwardedIdentifier(identifier: $identifier, port: $port)';

205-213: Parsing isn’t quote-aware for ; and =

Known TODO, but calling out: split(';') and split('=') will break on quoted values containing those chars. Consider a small state machine or regex that respects quoted-strings, or reuse a parser shared across headers to close #102.

40-43: Optional: consider rejecting weak ETags for If-Range.
HTTP If-Range is intended to use strong validators; decide whether to reject W/-prefixed tags at parse-time.

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/cross_origin_resource_policy_header.dart (1)

30-44: Optional: case-insensitive parsing.
Header tokens are commonly lower-case; allowing mixed case can improve robustness.

39-67: Optional: directive parsing robustness.

  • Treat directive names case-insensitively.
  • Consider rejecting duplicate max-age directives explicitly (currently de-duped by extension, but being explicit aids future readers).
-    for (final directive in splitValues) {

124-131: Type equality/hash are fine. Minor doc/typo fixes elsewhere.

Equality on value and hashCode on value.hashCode are correct.

Also fix the stray “P” in the constructor comment (Line 89) and align the factory doc with behavior (it throws on invalid).

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/from_header.dart (1)

45-53: Equality/hash are fine; consider order-insensitive compare if semantics allow.

If multiple addresses are possible and order is irrelevant, use UnorderedIterableEquality. Otherwise, current implementation is acceptable.

Possible tweak:

Minor: avoid accidental shadowing by not naming locals value in parse() if you touch this again.

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/upgrade_header.dart (1)

65-66: Preserve lexical protocol version (optional).
Storing version as double loses formatting (e.g., encodes 2.0 as 2). If textual fidelity matters, keep version as String validated by a regex and compare as string.

Also applies to: 106-108

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/cookie_header.dart (1)

42-44: Optional: convenience lookup ignoring case.
You de-duplicate by lowercased names, but getCookie() is case-sensitive. Consider adding getCookieIgnoreCase(String name).

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/content_language_header.dart (1)

45-52: Is order semantically significant for Content-Language?
If not, prefer set-based equality/hash; otherwise keep as-is. Please confirm intended semantics.

Possible change:

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/access_control_expose_headers_header.dart (3)

60-69: Use case-insensitive deep equality for header names.

Header field names are case-insensitive; comparing 'ETag' vs 'etag' should be equal. Switch to a case-insensitive equality and hash.

-  bool operator ==(final Object other) =>
+  bool operator ==(final Object other) =>
       identical(this, other) ||
       other is AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader &&

+  int get hashCode => Object.hash(
+      isWildcard,
+      const IterableEquality<String>(CaseInsensitiveEquality()).hash(headers));

60-69: Option: treat header names as an unordered set.

Order is not semantically meaningful for this header. If you want true value semantics, consider order-insensitive equality/hash.

-const IterableEquality<String>(CaseInsensitiveEquality())
+const UnorderedIterableEquality<String>(CaseInsensitiveEquality())

Note: only adopt if encoding preserves a canonical order or tests always build in the same order.


71-74: Polish toString for wildcard.

Currently toString() prints headers: [] for wildcard, which is slightly confusing. Consider returning '*' when isWildcard is true.

-  String toString() =>
-      'AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader(headers: $headers, isWildcard: $isWildcard)';
+  String toString() => isWildcard
+      ? 'AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader(*)'
+      : 'AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader(headers: $headers)';
test/headers/header_test.dart (5)

70-79: Use a shared constant for the fixed UTC date.

Minor readability/duplication: define a top-level const (or final) fixedDate and reuse across tests.

-      var headers =
-          Headers.build((final mh) => mh.date = DateTime.utc(2025, 9, 23));
+      const fixedDate = DateTime.utc(2025, 9, 23);
+      var headers = Headers.build((final mh) => mh.date = fixedDate);

474-505: Strengthen comparisons for list-valued headers.

Currently list types skip equality/hash checks. Consider using DeepCollectionEquality (possibly unordered) to validate list contents without changing production code.

-        if (header1 is! List) {
+        if (header1 is! List) {
           expect(header1, equals(header2));
           expect(header1.hashCode, equals(header2.hashCode),
               reason: 'hashCode for: $header1');
-        }
+        } else {
+          // import 'package:collection/collection.dart';
+          expect(

+            isTrue,
+          );
+        }

507-571: Add wildcard variant for Access-Control-Expose-Headers.

Symmetry with AllowHeaders tests; also exercises the new wildcard semantics.

       (
         Headers.accessControlExposeHeaders,
         (final h) => h.accessControlExposeHeaders =
             AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader.headers(headers: ['foo'])
       ),
+      (
+        Headers.accessControlExposeHeaders,
+        (final h) =>
+            h.accessControlExposeHeaders =
+                const AccessControlExposeHeadersHeader.wildcard()
+      ),

518-521: Verify token used in Accept-Encoding test.

'jpeg' is not a content-coding (typical tokens: gzip, br, deflate, identity). If validation exists, this may fail or lower test credibility. Recommend using 'gzip' in this spot.

-            encodings: [EncodingQuality('jpeg', 0.5)])
+            encodings: [EncodingQuality('gzip', 0.5)])

682-684: Confirm empty ETag validity.

An empty opaque-tag is generally invalid per HTTP specs. If the implementation treats it as valid, fine; otherwise switch to a minimal valid value (e.g., ETagHeader(value: 'W/"0"' or '"0"') to ensure test intent isn’t masking a bug.

-      (Headers.etag, (final h) => h.etag = const ETagHeader(value: '')),
+      (Headers.etag, (final h) => h.etag = const ETagHeader(value: '"0"')),
lib/src/headers/typed/headers/content_security_policy_header.dart (3)

57-66: Equality may need to be order-insensitive.

CSP directive order typically isn’t semantically significant. If you want logically equivalent headers to compare equal regardless of directive order, use UnorderedIterableEquality.

-      other is ContentSecurityPolicyHeader &&
-          const ListEquality<ContentSecurityPolicyDirective>()
-              .equals(directives, other.directives);

90-93: Avoid trailing space when a directive has no values.

Current encode emits “sandbox ”. Minor but avoidable.

-  String _encode() => '$name ${values.join(' ')}';
+  String _encode() => values.isEmpty ? name : '$name ${values.join(' ')}';

75-88: Seal the directive type to keep equality/hash sound.

ContentSecurityPolicyDirective isn’t final; subclasses could break symmetry. Make it final (like the header) and consider freezing values as an unmodifiable list on construction.

- class ContentSecurityPolicyDirective {
+ final class ContentSecurityPolicyDirective {

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/range_header.dart (2)

81-90: Confirm intended equality semantics (order).

If multiple ranges’ order shouldn’t affect equality, prefer UnorderedIterableEquality<Range>; otherwise current order-sensitive comparison is fine.

106-116: Add basic numeric validation for ranges.

Guard against negative values and inverted ranges (start > end) to prevent generating invalid headers.

   Range({
     this.start,

146-166: Basic.parse: be explicit about malformed user:pass.

The current try/catch masks RangeError, which is fine, but a simple guard avoids exceptions on happy path.

At minimum, hide response and cnonce; optionally shorten nonce and opaque.

lib/src/headers/typed/headers/content_disposition_header.dart (4)

143-149: Normalize name handling for extended params

126-141: Enforce mandatory charset in extended parameters per RFC 5987
RFC 5987 ext-value syntax requires a non-empty charset token (e.g. UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) before the language and value—omitting it isn’t allowed. Update the parsing logic to either:

  • Reject empty/missing charset in strict mode, or
  • Default to UTF-8 when the charset group is empty (and document this fallback).

Also, when a valid charset (like ISO-8859-1) is specified, decode the parameter value using that charset rather than always using UTF-8.

22-28: Normalize and validate scheme consistently

  • Add assert(scheme.trim().isNotEmpty) and normalize to a canonical form (e.g., lowercase) to ensure case-insensitive equality per RFCs.

Please confirm whether the auth scheme should be case-insensitive for your use-cases; if not, remove the .toLowerCase().


77-84: Consider order-insensitive parameter equality

Auth parameters are typically unordered. Current ListEquality makes equality and hashing order-sensitive. If order doesn’t matter for your header semantics, switch to UnorderedIterableEquality for both == and hashCode.

67-77: Equality/hash: looks correct; consider reusing a shared equality instance

Same suggestion as above for IfNoneMatchHeader to reuse a shared equality instance.

       identical(this, other) ||
       other is IfNoneMatchHeader &&

-      final r = Headers.vary.codec.encode(x);

19-24: Confirm order/case semantics for Vary fields

HTTP field-names are case-insensitive and Vary members’ order is not semantically significant. If equality should reflect that, consider normalizing (e.g., lowercase + de-dup + order-insensitive) and add tests; otherwise, ignore.

4-14: Enum migration looks solid; update the surrounding docs to match.

Switching to an enum enables exhaustive switches and better type-safety. However, the file-level comment on Line 3 still says “constants”. Please update it to reflect the enum-based API.


16-18: Make the reverse map immutable (or rely on values.byName).

Minor hardening: wrap the literal in Map.unmodifiable to prevent accidental mutation. Optionally, you can drop the map entirely and use values.byName(normalized) with try/catch.

-    for (final r in values) r.name: r
-  };
+  static final Map<String, RequestMethod> _reverseMap =
+      Map.unmodifiable({for (final r in values) r.name: r});

20-25: Fix parse() docs (exception type and behavior).

Docs mention ArgumentError and creating a new instance on miss; implementation throws FormatException on empty/invalid and cannot create new enum values. Update the comments:

-  /// Throws an [ArgumentError] if the [method] string is empty.
-  /// If the method is not found in the predefined values,
-  /// it returns a new [RequestMethod] instance with the method name in uppercase.
+  /// Throws a [FormatException] if [method] is empty or not recognized.
+  /// Parsing is case-insensitive and matches only the predefined HTTP methods.

25-32: Normalize before emptiness check to handle whitespace-only input.

Currently " " yields “Invalid value” instead of “Value cannot be empty”. Trim first, then validate.

 factory RequestMethod.parse(final String method) {
-    if (method.isEmpty) {
-      throw const FormatException('Value cannot be empty');
-    }
-
-    return _reverseMap[method.trim().toLowerCase()] ??
-        (throw FormatException('Invalid value', method));
+    final normalized = method.trim().toLowerCase();
+    if (normalized.isEmpty) {
+      throw const FormatException('Value cannot be empty');
+    }
+    return _reverseMap[normalized] ??
+        (throw FormatException('Invalid value', method));

Exporting X-Forwarded-For from typed headers looks correct; verify no duplicate exports/imports remain

Good addition. Please verify that:

  • It’s not still exported elsewhere (e.g., legacy aggregators), and
  • No files still import the header directly instead of via this typed export.

Run to confirm:

🧩 Analysis chain

Encode methods in uppercase for wire format; also confirm whether codec can be const.

  • HTTP method tokens are case-sensitive; the conventional wire form is uppercase (e.g., GET, POST). Encoding lowercase may reduce interoperability for headers like Allow. Recommend uppercasing here.
  • If HeaderCodec.single isn’t a const constructor or the tear-offs aren’t const-evaluable, static const codec will fail. Switch to final if needed.
-  static const codec = HeaderCodec.single(RequestMethod.parse, __encode);
+  static final codec = HeaderCodec.single(RequestMethod.parse, __encode);
-  static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.name];

Uppercase method encoding; codec remains const

  • Change the encoder to output uppercase HTTP methods for wire compatibility:
    - static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.name];
    + static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.name.toUpperCase()];
  • No change needed for static const codecHeaderCodec.single is a const factory (backed by a const _SingleDecodeHeaderCodec constructor).

Suggested change
static const codec = HeaderCodec.single(RequestMethod.parse, __encode);
static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.toString()];
@override
String toString() => 'Method($value)';
static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.name];

static const codec = HeaderCodec.single(RequestMethod.parse, __encode);
static List<String> __encode(final RequestMethod value) => [value.name.toUpperCase()];
}
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In lib/src/method/request_method.dart around lines 33 to 35, the encoder
currently returns the method name as-is; update the encoder to emit uppercase
HTTP methods for wire compatibility by changing the __encode implementation to
return the method name converted to uppercase (e.g. value.name.toUpperCase()),
and leave the static const codec declaration unchanged since HeaderCodec.single
is a const factory.

🧩 Analysis chain

I'll create three generic issues for casing, whitespace, and order concerns that can be addressed in future PRs, and link them to the existing review comments.

@nielsenko I've created three generic issues to track the formatting concerns:

  1. Casing consistency - Issue for improving casing consistency across header implementations
  2. Whitespace formatting - Issue for standardizing whitespace formatting
  3. Element ordering - Issue for standardizing the ordering of imports, methods, fields, etc.

Each issue references this PR (#146) and your feedback, and they're all assigned to you. These can now be addressed in dedicated follow-up PRs while keeping this PR focused on the core equality and hashCode implementations.

The issues will provide clear scope for future formatting improvements without cluttering the current PR with non-functional changes.

@nielsenko Perfect! I've successfully created the three issues to track formatting concerns:

🔧 Issue #151: Improve casing consistency across header implementations
📝 Issue #152: Standardize whitespace formatting across header classes
📋 Issue #153: Standardize element ordering across header implementations

Each issue:

You can now reference these issues (e.g., "Tracked in #151", "See #152", "Filed as #153") in any existing review comments that relate to casing, whitespace, or ordering concerns. This keeps the current PR focused on the core equality and hashCode functionality while ensuring formatting improvements aren't forgotten.

Learning: When a user requests to defer formatting concerns (casing, whitespace, ordering) to separate issues instead of addressing them in the current PR, create generic GitHub issues for each concern type and assign them to the user. This helps maintain PR focus on core functionality while tracking formatting improvements for future work.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

…thods (#238)

- [x] Understand the security issue: Bearer tokens exposed in toString()
methods
- [x] Modify BearerAuthorizationHeader.toString() to mask the token
value (show only first/last few characters)
- [x] Add toStringInsecure() method to BearerAuthorizationHeader that
prints the full token
- [x] Apply same changes for BasicAuthorizationHeader (mask password)
- [x] Apply same changes for DigestAuthorizationHeader (mask nonce,
response, cnonce, opaque)
- [x] Add comprehensive tests for the new toString() and
toStringInsecure() methods
- [x] Run all existing tests to ensure no regressions (3187 tests pass)
- [x] Run static analysis and formatting checks (both pass)
- [x] Manually verify the changes work as expected
- [x] Run CodeQL security checker (no issues detected)
- [x] Address PR review feedback: increase minimum token length to 16
characters

## Summary

This PR addresses a security vulnerability where sensitive
authentication credentials were being exposed in full when toString()
was called on authorization header instances.

### Changes Made:

**BearerAuthorizationHeader:**
- `toString()` now masks the token, showing only first 4 and last 4
characters (e.g., `1234****3456`)
- For tokens <16 chars, shows only `****` (ensures at least 8 characters
are masked)
- Added `toStringInsecure()` method for debugging that exposes the full
token

**BasicAuthorizationHeader:**
- `toString()` now masks the password as `****`
- Added `toStringInsecure()` method for debugging

**DigestAuthorizationHeader:**
- `toString()` now masks sensitive fields: nonce, response, cnonce, and
opaque
- Added `toStringInsecure()` method for debugging

### Testing:
- Added 11 new test cases covering all masking scenarios
- All 3187 existing tests pass
- Manual verification confirms proper masking behavior

This prevents accidental credential leaks in logs while still providing
developers with a way to debug authentication issues in secure
environments using `toStringInsecure()`.
