Conversation
WalkthroughAdds configurable auth-API revalidation for JWT sessions. Tokens retain grant metadata, and Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The revalidation path can treat stale cached auth responses as successful, allowing revoked live sessions to continue during an outage instead of failing closed; a config serialization edge case, deployment-related 404 behavior, and real-time tests add smaller readiness concerns. Merge should wait for the cache behavior to be corrected or explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Both relay spawn helpers reserve a port by binding and dropping a probe. The shared root cause is that the port is chosen while a probe listener holds it, released, and then rebound later, so any concurrent listener in the process or on the host can claim it in between. The failure surfaces as a 5-second wait_for_listener panic rather than a bind error.

@wrangelvid, the tests/smoke.rs pattern confirms the finding.
free_tcp_port explicitly documents the same race window at Lines 71-74. It treats the race as safe only in practice. It does not prevent another process or a concurrent test from binding the port after drop(probe).
Both helpers in rs/moq-relay/tests/auth_lifetime.rs have that race. Please keep the listener reserved until the relay binds it, or retry the reservation and bind sequence with a reported bind failure. The existing tests/smoke.rs use is a separate cleanup opportunity.
Thanks for the context.

Learning: The `rs/moq-relay/tests/smoke.rs` integration tests use a `free_tcp_port` helper that binds a localhost probe listener, reads its ephemeral port, and drops the probe before the web server binds. Its source comment explicitly acknowledges the resulting port-reservation race as acceptable only in practice for a localhost single-test process.

I think I need to spec this out a bit more. I'm dealing with something similar; I want to be able to disconnect users after they don't pay their bill lul. |
Disconnecting users is on my wishlist as well! I had a draft for that somewhere ... Update: Roughly how we handle revocation today is by having shorter lift sessions, which then refresh and check against our external auth store if the session is still valid. We use this in a few places where people get access to streams during certain time periods and also to kick people from a stream. However, the actual kicking happens in our app and a little bit of media can technically still flow until the session expiration kicks in. A better design would involve having longer sessions that don't refresh as frequently and and endpoint that allows you to revoke a session. The simplest design would be an admin endpoint on the relay, but I can see that being a bit more complex with clustering ... |

With --auth-api, a connection's grant is resolved once at admission and an established session then lives until its token's exp. Revoking a key at the auth API therefore only stops new connections; live sessions keep streaming for however long their tokens were minted. Add an opt-in --auth-api-revalidate that keeps re-resolving each live JWT session's kid and closes the session once the API stops vouching for it: - The cadence is the auth API's own Cache-Control max-age (60s when absent), refreshed on every successful re-check, so the endpoint controls its own load. Re-checks for the same kid coalesce across sessions into one request. - A 404, or a 2xx without a key, is the same verdict admission maps to KeyNotFound and closes the session immediately. - Anything else (network error, 5xx, garbage body) is evidence of nothing: the session keeps serving and the re-check retries with jittered backoff, with a final attempt at a staleness deadline (3x the last max-age, or --auth-api-revalidate-stale). Only once that window passes without a successful re-check does the session close, so a brief auth outage does not mass-disconnect while a sustained one still fails closed. The bound rides Auth::expired, which both accept paths already select on, so native and WebSocket sessions behave the same. Anonymous and mTLS sessions carry nothing to re-resolve and are never revalidated; exp still applies as the outer bound. Both config fields are Option-typed so a TOML value survives the CLI re-parse.

Add skip_serializing_if to revalidate_stale.
Every other optional field in AuthConfig skips serialization when it is None. revalidate_stale does not. TOML cannot serialize a None value, so serializing a config that leaves this option unset can fail or emit an unexpected key.

Confirm the classification of a 404 differs from the admission path on purpose.
recheck_grant maps 404 to Recheck::Revoked, which closes the session. The admission path maps the same 404 to AuthError::ApiUnavailable (502), as auth_api_mtls_fails_closed_on_api_error asserts. If the auth API route is removed or misrouted during a deploy, every live revalidated session closes at once, while new connections are only rejected as an upstream failure. Confirm that only a per-kid 404 can reach this path, or restrict the revocation classification (for example, treat a 404 without the expected response body as Unavailable).

http-cache-reqwest CacheMode::Default freshness stale-if-error max-age middleware behavior
💡 Result:
In the http-cache-reqwest middleware, CacheMode::Default is the standard operating mode that adheres to HTTP caching specifications [1][2]. Its behavior regarding freshness and error handling is defined as follows: When using CacheMode::Default, the middleware inspects the local cache before proceeding to the network [1][2]: 1. Freshness Check: If a fresh response exists in the cache for the given request, it is returned immediately [1][2]. 2. Stale Response & Revalidation: If the cached response is stale, the middleware generates a conditional request (e.g., using If-None-Match or If-Modified-Since headers) to check with the server if the data is still valid [1][2]. 3. Stale-if-error Behavior: A key feature of CacheMode::Default is its fault tolerance regarding revalidation [1][2]. If the server-side revalidation request fails—such as receiving a 500-level error or encountering network connectivity issues—the middleware will return the stale response from the cache as a fallback [1][2]. 4. Update: After receiving a response from the network, the middleware updates the cache accordingly [1][2]. Regarding max-age, the middleware respects the standard Cache-Control: max-age directive provided by the server to determine the freshness lifetime of a response [2][3]. The http-cache-semantics crate, which powers the underlying logic, handles the nuances of HTTP headers (including Expires, Age, and max-age) to calculate when a response becomes stale [3]. While max-age sets the primary expiration, the stale-if-error mechanism allows the middleware to bypass the strict expiration limit only in specific error scenarios, ensuring better availability during server or network instability [1][2].

github http-cache-reqwest 1.0.0-alpha.7 CacheMode Default stale-if-error source
💡 Result:
In http-cache-reqwest (including version 1.0.0-alpha.7), when CacheMode::Default is used, the cache behavior handles stale responses specifically to support "stale-if-error" functionality [1][2][3]. Specifically, in CacheMode::Default: - The middleware inspects the HTTP cache [1][2][3]. - If a fresh response is available, it is used [1][2][3]. - If a stale response is available, a conditional request is made to revalidate it [1][2][3]. - If that revalidation request fails (e.g., due to a 500 error, network failure, or being offline), the stale response is returned [1][2][3]. This implementation effectively treats CacheMode::Default as having built-in support for serving stale content when the network revalidation fails [1][2][3]. No separate "stale-if-error" flag is required in the CacheMode configuration, as this behavior is inherent to the Default mode's logic [1][2][3].

docs.rs http-cache-reqwest 1.0.0-alpha.7 CacheMode Default stale response error
💡 Result:
In http-cache-reqwest (version 1.0.0-alpha.7 and related versions), the CacheMode::Default setting is designed to follow standard HTTP caching rules [1][2]. Under this mode, if a stale response exists in the cache, the middleware automatically attempts a conditional request to revalidate it [1][2]. If that revalidation request fails—for instance, due to a 500-level error or network issues—the middleware is specifically designed to return the stale response rather than propagating the revalidation error as a hard failure [1][2]. If you are encountering an error related to "stale response," it is not typically an intended behavior of CacheMode::Default itself, but may arise from how the underlying cache manager handles stale data or how your application interprets these responses [1][2]. To troubleshoot or manage this behavior, consider the following: 1. Verify Cache Manager: Ensure your chosen backend (e.g., cacache by default) is configured correctly [3][4]. The manager is responsible for storing and retrieving the cached entities. 2. Check Request/Response Context: If the response is not being handled as expected, verify if the HTTP headers (such as ETag or Last-Modified) required for successful conditional revalidation are present and valid. 3. Override Cache Mode: If you want to force specific behavior, you can override the cache mode on a per-request basis using the reqwest-middleware extensions system [5][6]: client.get("...").with_extension(CacheMode::IgnoreRules).send.await?; If you are experiencing a specific panic or error code, ensure you are using the latest alpha version (e.g., 1.0.0-alpha.8, released 2026-08-21), as bug fixes are frequently integrated into these pre-release versions [3].

Bypass the HTTP cache for re-checks. CacheMode::Default serves stale responses when conditional revalidation fails. recheck_grant treats that response as valid and resets the staleness deadline, so a revoked grant can remain valid during an auth API outage.
