# libSceHttp technical debt

### Silent stubs

- [libSceHttp](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) - no request reaches the network, so `sceHttpSetResponseHeaderMaxSize` has no response header to limit, `sceHttpSetRecvBlockSize` (`(int id, u32 blockSize)` as in [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.h)) no response body to read in blocks and `sceHttpRedirectCacheFlush` no redirect to forget; `sceHttpsUnloadCert` returns success like `sceHttpsLoadCert`, which keeps no certificate; `sceHttpSetRedirectCallback` and `sceHttpSetCookieRecvCallback` accept callbacks that are never called, `sceHttpsSetSslVersion` has no TLS connection to configure and `sceHttpsGetSslError` reports error 0 with detail 0; `sceHttpSetAuthInfoCallback` accepts a callback that is never called, as no server asks for authentication; `sceHttpsGetCaList` and `sceHttpsFreeCaList` report an empty CA list (`certs` null, `certsNum` 0) and return 0, as no CA store is kept, and a null list returns `ERROR_INVALID_VALUE`; unlike shadPS4 they do not check that `http_ctx_id` is a live context nor that the library is initialised, and `sceHttpsFreeCaList` also nulls `certs`, which shadPS4 leaves untouched. The signatures and the `{ void* certs; int certsNum; }` layout follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.h) (PS4), not confirmed on a PS5 title

### Unknown function info

- [sceHttpUriBuild](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/src/Uri.cpp) (libSceHttp) retains `//` for a non-opaque URI independently of the selected fields, following [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/a8a70da595da2a96e0410309472ba4a7eb558144/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp#L3551-L3558). Black Myth: Wukong builds its `Scheme` header with option 1 and expects `http://` or `https://`. Other partial field combinations follow the PS4 reference and remain unverified on PS5 hardware.
- [sceHttpSetCookieEnabled](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) - the two-argument signature and 0/1 enable values follow [VitaSDK](https://github.com/vitasdk/vita-headers/blob/master/include/psp2/net/http.h) and [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp); PPSA01521 passes 0 to disable cookies. Disabling succeeds because the offline HTTP backend has no cookie engine; enabling throws. Invalid enable values use the same error as `sceHttpSetInflateGZIPEnabled`. Like the existing offline HTTP setters, the handle is not validated; requests still fail with the network error. Console behavior is unverified
- [sceHttpParseResponseHeader](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signature follows [SharpProspero](https://github.com/SvenGDK/SharpProspero/blob/main/src/SharpProspero/Interop/Net/Http.cs); parsing and error codes follow [shadPS4's reverse-engineered PS4 library](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp), not confirmed on a PS5 title or hardware. Folded values retain their line breaks and whitespace; an empty first line starts the value scan after its line feed. A consumed byte count above `INT_MAX` throws instead of wrapping.
- [sceHttpParseStatusLine](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/src/Parse.cpp) (libSceHttp) - behaviour and error codes follow the [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4) reimplementation of the PS4 library, not confirmed on a PS5 title; unlike it, no byte past `lineLen` is read
- [sceHttpUriMerge](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/src/Uri.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signature follows [SharpProspero](https://github.com/SvenGDK/SharpProspero/blob/main/src/SharpProspero/Interop/Net/Http.cs); validation, size formula, absolute/relative split and path join follow the disassembly-like body in [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp), not confirmed on a PS5 title or hardware. The base URL goes through our `sceHttpUriParse`, which removes dot segments from the base path, while the relative part is appended unswept; base query and fragment are dropped. The relative reference is only classified by its scheme and a leading `//`, and only references with `//` are validated; as in shadPS4, `//host/x` is returned unchanged instead of taking the base scheme, a reference with a scheme but no `//` (`mailto:x`) is joined onto the base directory, and `?q` and `#f` are appended to the base directory instead of the base path.
- [sceHttpUriUnescape](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/src/Uri.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signature follows [SharpProspero](https://github.com/SvenGDK/SharpProspero/blob/main/src/SharpProspero/Interop/Net/Http.cs); percent decoding, invalid sequences and error codes follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp), not confirmed on a PS5 title or hardware. Size includes the final NUL; malformed escapes and `+` remain unchanged, and decoding runs once.
- [sceHttpUriSweepPath](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/src/Uri.cpp) (libSceHttp) - behaviour follows the [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp) reimplementation of the PS4 library and its tests (including the PS4 SDK example), not confirmed on a PS5 title or hardware. It is not RFC 3986 5.2.4: a path that doesn't start with `/` is copied unchanged and a trailing `.` or `..` without a slash is kept. Unlike shadPS4, nothing at or past `srcSize - 1` is read, and `srcSize == 1` writes only the terminator
- [sceHttpSetResponseHeaderMaxSize, sceHttpRedirectCacheFlush, sceHttpsUnloadCert](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signatures follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp) (PS4); no PS5 reference has them
- [sceHttpSetRequestStatusCallback](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) - the three-argument ABI follows [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp). Registrations and user data are retained and removed on request deletion; the offline backend never dispatches callbacks. Invalid ids return `0x80431100`, an uncited assumption, not a verified console error. Handle hierarchy, inheritance and deleted-handle validation remain incomplete; callback statuses and dispatch timing are unknown.
- [sceHttpSetRedirectCallback, sceHttpSetCookieRecvCallback, sceHttpsSetSslVersion, sceHttpsGetSslError](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signatures follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp) (PS4), which only logs and returns 0; a null `errNum` or `detail` in `sceHttpsGetSslError` is assumed to return `SCE_HTTP_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE` like `sceHttpGetLastErrno`
- [sceHttpSetAuthInfoCallback](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - signature and callback type follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.h) (PS4); no PS5 reference has them. The `id` is not checked, as in the other libSceHttp setters
- [sceHttpWaitRequest](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - the timeout is assumed to be in microseconds and a negative timeout to wait without limit; the invalid-value error for a null handle or event array or a non-positive event count is assumed, not measured. No request is ever pending, so a wait returns 0 events when its timeout passes

### Functional

- [sceHttpAbortWaitRequest, sceHttpWaitRequest](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceHttp/Export.cpp) (libSceHttp) - the abort takes only the epoll handle, as in [Orbital](https://github.com/AlexAltea/orbital/blob/master/tools/ida/db_types.json) and [SharpProspero](https://github.com/SvenGDK/SharpProspero/blob/main/src/SharpProspero/Interop/Net/Http.cs); behaviour and error codes follow [shadPS4](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/src/core/libraries/network/http.cpp) (PS4), not confirmed on a PS5 title or hardware. An abort stays set: every later wait on the handle, a poll included, returns `SCE_HTTP_ERROR_ABORTED` (0x80431080) until the handle is destroyed. A wait woken by `sceHttpDestroyEpoll`, or by the `sceHttpTerm` that ends the last context, returns 0 events. The epoll calls return `BEFORE_INIT` (0x80431001) while no `sceHttpInit` context is alive and `INVALID_ID` (0x80431100) for an unknown context or handle, and `sceHttpTerm` returns the same errors instead of succeeding for any id. Handles are pointers, so a stale handle whose address a newer epoll reuses is taken as that epoll
