Chrome Network Bug Triage : Components and labels

Some network component caveats

  • Internals>Network>SSL

    This includes issues that should be also tagged as Security>UX (certificate error pages or other security interstitials, omnibox indicators that a page is secure), and more general SSL issues. If you see requests that die in the SSL negotiation phase, in particular, this is often the correct component.

  • Internals>Network>DataProxy

    Flywheel / the Data Reduction Proxy. Issues require "Reduce Data Usage" be turned on. Proxy URL is https://proxy.googlezip.net:443, with http://compress.googlezip.net:80 as a fallback. Currently Android and iOS only.

  • Internals>Network>Cache

    The cache is the layer that handles most range request logic (Though range requests may also be issued by the PDF plugin, XHRs, or other components).

  • Internals>Network>SPDY

    Covers HTTP2 as well.

  • Internals>Network>HTTP

    Typically not used. Unclear what it covers, and there's no specific HTTP owner.

  • Internals>Network>Logging

    Covers about:net-internals, about:net-export as well as the what's sent to the NetLog.

  • Internals>Network>Connectivity

    Issues related to switching between networks, ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED, Chrome thinking it's online when it's not / navigator.onLine inaccuracies, etc.

  • Internals>Network>Filters

    Covers gzip, deflate and brotli issues. ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED indicates a problem at this layer, and bugs here can also cause response body corruption.

Common non-network components

Bugs in these areas often receive the Internals>Network component, though they fall largely outside the purview of the network stack team:

  • UI>Browser>Downloads

    Despite the name, this covers all issues related to downloading a file except saving entire pages (which is Blink>SavePage), not just UI issues. Most downloads bugs will have the word "download" or "save as" in the description. Issues with the HTTP server for the Chrome binaries are not downloads bugs.

  • UI>Browser>SafeBrowsing

    Bugs that have to do with the process by which a URL or file is determined to be dangerous based on our databases, or the resulting interstitials. Determination of danger based purely on content-type or file extension belongs in UI>Browser>Downloads, not SafeBrowsing.

  • Blink>Forms

    Issues submitting forms, forms having weird data, forms sending the wrong method, etc.

  • Blink>Loader

    Cross origin issues are sometimes loader related. Blink also has an in-memory cache, and when it's used, requests don't appear in about:net-internals. Requests for the same URL are also often merged there as well. This does not cover issues with content/browser/loader/ files.

  • Blink>ServiceWorker

  • Blink>Storage>AppCache

  • Blink>Network>WebSockets

    Issues with the WebSockets. Attach this component to any issue about the WebSocket feature regardless of where the cause of the issue is (net/ or Blink).

  • Blink>Network>FetchAPI

    Generic issues with the Fetch API - missing request or response headers, multiple headers, etc. These will often run into issues in certain corner cases (Cross origin / CORS, proxy, whatever). Attach all components that seem appropriate.

  • Blink>Network>XHR

    Generic issues with sync/async XHR requests.

  • Blink>WebRTC>Network

    Anything WebRTC-related does not use the net stack and should go here.

  • Services>Sync

    Sharing data/tabs/history/passwords/etc between machines not working.

  • Services>Chromoting

  • Platform>Extensions

    Issues extensions loading / not loading / hanging.

  • Platform>Extensions>API

    Issues with network related extension APIs should have this component. chrome.webRequest is the big one, I believe, but there are others.

  • Internals>Plugins>Pepper[>SDK]

  • UI>Browser>Omnibox

    Basically any issue with the omnibox. URLs being treated as search queries rather than navigations, dropdown results being weird, not handling certain Unicode characters, etc. If the issue is new TLDs not being recognized by the omnibox, that's due to Chrome's TLD list being out of date, and not an omnibox issue. Such TLD issues should be duped against http://crbug.com/37436.

  • Internals>Media>Network

    Issues related to media. These often run into the 6 requests per hostname issue, and also have fun interactions with the cache, particularly in the range request case.

  • Internals>Plugins>PDF

    Issues loading PDF files. These are often related to range requests, which also have some logic at the Internals>Network>Cache layer.

  • UI>Browser>Navigation

  • UI>Browser>History

    Issues which only appear with forward/back navigation.

  • OS>Systems>Network / OS>Systems>Mobile / OS>Systems>Bluetooth

    These should be used for issues with Chrome OS's platform network code, and not net/ issues on Chrome OS.

  • Blink>SecurityFeature

    CORS / Cross origin issues. Main frame cross-origin navigation issues are often actually UI>Browser>Navigation issues.

  • Privacy

    Privacy related bug (History, cookies discoverable by an entity that shouldn't be able to do so, incognito state being saved in memory or on disk beyond the lifetime of incognito tabs, etc). Generally used in conjunction with other components.

Common labels

  • Type-Bug-Security

    Security related bug (Allows for code execution from remote site, allows crossing security boundaries, unchecked array bounds, etc) should be tagged with this label.
