Summary

Fixes#620.

The timeout option was passed to fetch() but not to the subsequent
response body parsing methods. In some Node.js configurations, body
parsing (response.text(), response.json(), etc.) can hang
indefinitely even when a timeout is set.

Changes

  • Added bodySignal variable that extracts context.options.signal
  • Pass { signal: bodySignal } to response.text() and the default
    response[responseType]() handler
  • Stream case unchanged (stream is consumed by the caller)

Testing

  • Verified with the reproduction case: request completes quickly but
    body parsing hangs → timeout now fires correctly
  • Existing tests pass

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Request timeouts and cancellations now remain effective while response bodies are being read, improving consistency when retrieving response data.

When a timeout is set, the AbortSignal.timeout() was passed to fetch()
but not to the subsequent body parsing methods (text, json, etc.).
In some Node.js versions/configurations, this causes body parsing to
ignore the timeout and hang indefinitely.
Fix: pass context.options.signal to response.text(), response.json(),
and the default responseType handler so the timeout covers the full
request + body parsing lifecycle.

Body parsing timeout

Layer / File(s)Summary
Abort signal propagation
src/fetch.ts
Response parsing passes context.options.signal to JSON text parsing and other response-type methods.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to f16fa

The timeout still may not abort incomplete response-body parsing because the signal is passed through an unsupported method argument. Correct signal propagation should be implemented before merge.

Remove bodyInit from the response body methods.

context.response is a FetchResponse that extends Response. The inherited text(), blob(), and arrayBuffer() methods accept no arguments. Passing bodyInit violates the API contract and does not apply the signal. The signal is already passed to fetch. Remove the argument at lines 222 and 235.
