Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (Apr 11 2024 at 14:41):rylev opened PR #8330 from rylev:rework-HostIncomingResponse to bytecodealliance:main:
The worker is a handle to a tokio task where the connection is being read from. It should be kept alive in order to continue to be able to read the response body. However, the worker _is_ kept alive on
HostIncomingBody. Arguably this the exact place where the task should be kept as once that type is dropped there's no longer a need to keep the worker around.The original motivation for this change is in a project where an actual HTTP request is not being made and the response are simply mocks. In this case, there's no need to start a worker task as there is no actual connection to keep alive. An alternative to this change would be to make the
workerfield anOptionallowing those who don't need to keep a worker alive to simply set the field toNone. However, a closer inspection of the code made it seem that this field is actually not necessary as the worker is being kept alive elsewhere.
