Continuation of #8081, which was closed while awaiting a signature on the CLA. The code is unchanged from what @steadytao reviewed and called "otherwise this looks alright" — the only edit since their review was adding the AI disclosure to the commit message, as CONTRIBUTING.md requires.

bind protocols are lost when several bind directives target the same address

caddyconfig/httpcaddyfile/addresses.go, in listenersForServerBlockAddress:

// use a map to prevent duplication
listeners := map[string]map[string]struct{}{}
for _, lnCfgVal := range lnCfgVals {
    for _, lnAddr := range lnCfgVal.addresses {
        ...
        if _, ok := listeners[addr.String()]; !ok {        // <-- guard
            listeners[networkAddr.String()] = map[string]struct{}{}
        }
        for _, protocol := range lnCfgVal.protocols {
            listeners[networkAddr.String()][protocol] = struct{}{}
        }
    }
}

The "have I already initialised this listener?" guard probes listeners[addr.String()] but the key actually written is listeners[networkAddr.String()]. addr is the site address (e.g. https://example.com); networkAddr is the listener address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:443). Those key spaces are disjoint, so the guard is always true and the = map[string]struct{}{} line unconditionally wipes any protocols accumulated for that listener address by a previous iteration.

The return type is map[string]map[string]struct{} — listener address → set of protocols. A set only makes sense if entries accumulate, and the comment on line 329 (// use a map to prevent duplication) states the intent outright: only initialise once.

Every bind directive (and every default_bind global option) produces its own addressesWithProtocols entry in lnCfgVals (parseBind at builtins.go:63, parseOptDefaultBind at options.go:323), and the loop was written to union their protocols per listener address. It instead makes the last one win.

Observable impact: listen_protocols in the adapted JSON silently loses protocols, and in the worst case vanishes entirely, so the listener reverts to Caddy's default protocol set (h1, h2, h3) — the opposite of what the Caddyfile asked for.

The change

-			if _, ok := listeners[addr.String()]; !ok {
+			if _, ok := listeners[networkAddr.String()]; !ok {
 				listeners[networkAddr.String()] = map[string]struct{}{}
 			}

Tests

TestBindProtocolsMergedAcrossDirectives in caddyconfig/httpcaddyfile/httptype_test.go, four cases: two bind directives on the same address, a later bind with no protocols, a single bind (control), and bind directives on distinct addresses (control).

Before the fix:

--- FAIL: .../two_bind_directives_on_the_same_address
    expected listen protocols [[h1 h2]], got [[h2]]
--- FAIL: .../later_bind_without_protocols_does_not_clear_earlier_ones
    expected listen protocols [[h1 h3]], got []
--- PASS: .../a_single_bind_directive_is_unaffected
--- PASS: .../bind_directives_on_distinct_addresses_stay_separate

After: all four pass.

  • go test ./caddyconfig/... -count=1 → all ok, 0 failures; httpcaddyfile 30 top-level + 8 sub-test PASS.
  • caddytest/integration -run TestCaddyfileAdaptToJSON (239 testdata files) → 245 sub-test PASS, 0 FAIL.
  • go build ./..., go vet ./caddyconfig/... clean.

AI use disclosure

Per CONTRIBUTING.md, this change was developed with AI assistance and the commit carries a Co-Authored-By: trailer. I am now able to answer questions about any line of the diff directly.

Status of the CLA

Unsigned — that is what the earlier PR was closed over. Signing it is a human action on the account, and I have not attempted to do it or work around it.

Reference

Bug is live on master: I fetched caddyconfig/httpcaddyfile/addresses.go from upstream and it still contains both if _, ok := listeners[addr.String()]; !ok { and listeners[networkAddr.String()] = ....

I can take it since it is alright but fix the commit man 😔

Why are you using Opus 4.5, that's dreadfully outdated. It's a whole-ass year old.

Is it cheaper maybe?

Could just use Sonnet 5.5 or something if cost is the issue. Or DeepSeek which is like straight up pennies to use and way outclasses Opus 4.5

I'm using a fine tuned qwen model.

Then why does your commit message lie:

Commit message fixed in bbf7007 — dropped the model name and the "I have reviewed and verified it" line, kept the disclosure per CONTRIBUTING.md. @steadytao your call on whether the branch needs updating again.

Erm. Distillation doesn't include system prompts 🤨 I may not be the most knowledgeable around AI but I do know that.

So you didn't review it? Like the PR is okay but not great so I really am tilting more towards a close 😔
