How would you do that though? How is the library supposed to know the difference between "accidentally sent an invalid new response" and "accidentally overran the existing response where a new one should have started"? Try this example: Send an entity body of these 18 bytes (JSON string): "x\nHTTP/1.0 200\r\n\r\n" but send a Content-Length of 2. You should get a different error, because the content that overflows looks like a valid HTTP response-line. I tried it with curl too, which gives similar errors: `curl -v http://localhost:8080/ http://localhost:8080/` There's no way you can fix this on the client library, but perhaps Node.js should do some sanity checking to make sure the response isn't being run longer than the advertised Content-Length. (Which should be disable-able, for testing and other experimentation.)
