Proposed change

Some proxies, notable NGINX, seem to buffer responses by default. For the long running log requests this is not helpful: The user won't see logs since the proxy is buffering the response.

It seems that using http2 or explicit proxy_buffering: no`` in the proxy configuration disables the buffering. However, better yet is to explicitly add the X-Accel-Buffering: no`` header to the log responses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces modifications to the HTTP response headers in three methods across different files: advanced_logs_handler in supervisor/api/host.py, _handle_request in supervisor/api/ingress.py, and stream in supervisor/api/proxy.py. Each of these methods now includes the header X-Accel-Buffering set to "no", which instructs the server not to buffer the log streaming response. This change aims to address issues with log visibility when accessed through reverse proxies.

Changes

File Change Summary
supervisor/api/host.py Added response.headers["X-Accel-Buffering"] = "no" in the advanced_logs_handler method.
supervisor/api/ingress.py Added response.headers["X-Accel-Buffering"] = "no" in the _handle_request method.
supervisor/api/proxy.py Added response.headers["X-Accel-Buffering"] = "no" in the stream method.

261-261: LGTM! The X-Accel-Buffering header is correctly implemented.

The header is added at the right location, before prepare(request), and follows NGINX documentation for disabling response buffering. This will fix the issue with buffered log streaming through proxies.

Consider adding a comment explaining the header's purpose:

+        # Disable proxy buffering to ensure logs are streamed in real-time
         response.headers["X-Accel-Buffering"] = "no"

💡 Codebase verification

Add X-Accel-Buffering header to other streaming endpoints

The following streaming endpoints should include the same header to prevent buffering issues:

  • supervisor/api/proxy.py: Home Assistant EventStream endpoint
  • supervisor/api/ingress.py: Ingress streaming response handlers
🔗 Analysis chain

Verify other streaming endpoints for similar buffering issues.

Let's check if there are other streaming endpoints that might benefit from this header.

🏁 Scripts executed

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for other streaming endpoints that might need the X-Accel-Buffering header
# Look for StreamResponse usage which typically indicates streaming endpoints

echo "Searching for other streaming endpoints..."
rg -l "StreamResponse" | grep -v "host.py"

echo "Checking if any of these already use X-Accel-Buffering..."
rg -l "X-Accel-Buffering"

Length of output: 383


Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Check the implementation details of streaming endpoints
echo "Checking streaming implementation in proxy.py..."
rg -A 5 -B 5 "StreamResponse" supervisor/api/proxy.py

echo -e "\nChecking streaming implementation in ingress.py..."
rg -A 5 -B 5 "StreamResponse" supervisor/api/ingress.py

echo -e "\nChecking streaming implementation in utils.py..."
rg -A 5 -B 5 "StreamResponse" supervisor/api/utils.py

Length of output: 3001

Some proxies, notable NGINX, seem to buffer responses by default. For
the long running log requests this is not helpful: The user won't see
logs since the proxy is buffering the response.

It seems that using http2 or explicit `proxy_buffering: no`` in the
proxy configuration disables the buffering. However, better yet is to
explicitly add the `X-Accel-Buffering: no`` header to the log
responses.
Don't buffer ingress and API proxy responses as well.

280-280: LGTM! The header addition looks good.

The X-Accel-Buffering: no header is correctly placed before preparing the streaming response. The function already has proper logic to determine when streaming is needed based on content length and response type.

Consider moving the header addition to the simple response case as well, as it might benefit from disabled buffering in some scenarios. Here's how:

 if (
     must_be_empty_body(request.method, result.status)
     or hdrs.CONTENT_LENGTH in result.headers
     and int(result.headers.get(hdrs.CONTENT_LENGTH, 0)) < 4_194_000
 ):
+    headers["X-Accel-Buffering"] = "no"
     # Return Response
     body = await result.read()
     return web.Response(
         headers=headers,
         status=result.status,
         content_type=content_type,
         body=body,
     )

98-98: LGTM! The header addition looks good.

The X-Accel-Buffering: no header is correctly placed before preparing the response, which will effectively disable buffering for the EventStream responses.

Let's verify that this is the only streaming response handler in the file that needs this header:

✅ Verification successful

Verification successful - buffering configuration is correctly implemented

The X-Accel-Buffering header is present in the only HTTP streaming response handler. The other response handler uses WebSocket protocol which doesn't require this header.

🏁 Scripts executed

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for other streaming response handlers
rg -B 2 -A 2 "StreamResponse|prepare\(request\)" supervisor/api/proxy.py
