+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+@fastify/reply-from is a Fastify plugin that forwards HTTP requests to another server, supporting HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and various client configurations including undici, Node.js http/https agents, and unix sockets.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+### Testing
+- `npm test` - Run all tests (unit + TypeScript)
+- `npm run test:unit` - Run unit tests with tap
+- `npm run test:typescript` - Run TypeScript definition tests with tsd
+
+### Code Quality  
+- `npm run lint` - Run standard linter with snazzy formatter
+- `npm run lint:fix` - Auto-fix linting issues
+
+### Development
+- Tests are located in `test/` directory with `.test.js` extension
+- Test coverage thresholds: 96% lines, 96% statements, 96% branches, 97% functions (configured in `.taprc`)
+- Uses `tap` as the test framework
+- Pre-commit hooks run lint and test automatically
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Files
+- `index.js` - Main plugin entry point with `reply.from()` decorator
+- `lib/request.js` - HTTP client abstraction supporting HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and undici
+- `lib/utils.js` - Header manipulation and URL building utilities  
+- `lib/errors.js` - Custom error classes for different failure scenarios
+
+### Key Components
+
+#### Request Handling (`index.js`)
+- Decorates Fastify reply with `from(source, opts)` method
+- Handles request/response transformation via configurable hooks
+- Implements retry logic with exponential backoff for failed requests
+- Supports URL caching to optimize performance (configurable via `cacheURLs` option)
+
+#### HTTP Client Layer (`lib/request.js`)
+- **HTTP/1.1**: Uses Node.js `http`/`https` modules with custom agents
+- **HTTP/2**: Uses Node.js `http2` module with session management  
+- **Undici**: High-performance HTTP client with connection pooling
+- **Unix Sockets**: Supports `unix+http:` and `unix+https:` protocols
+- Automatic protocol selection based on configuration
+
+#### Utilities (`lib/utils.js`)
+- `filterPseudoHeaders()` - Removes HTTP/2 pseudo-headers for HTTP/1.1 compatibility
+- `stripHttp1ConnectionHeaders()` - Removes connection-specific headers for HTTP/2
+- `copyHeaders()` - Safely copies headers to Fastify reply
+- `buildURL()` - Constructs target URLs with base URL validation
+
+### Plugin Options
+- `base` - Base URL for all forwarded requests (required for HTTP/2)
+- `undici` - Enable/configure undici client (boolean or options object)
+- `http`/`http2` - Configure Node.js HTTP clients
+- `retryMethods` - HTTP methods to retry on socket errors (default: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE)
+- `retriesCount` - Number of retries for socket hangup errors
+- `maxRetriesOn503` - Retry limit for 503 Service Unavailable responses
+
+### Request/Response Hooks
+- `onResponse(request, reply, res)` - Transform response before sending
+- `onError(reply, error)` - Handle request errors
+- `rewriteHeaders(headers, request)` - Modify response headers
+- `rewriteRequestHeaders(request, headers)` - Modify request headers
+- `getUpstream(request, base)` - Dynamic upstream selection
+
+### Error Handling
+Custom error classes in `lib/errors.js`:
+- `TimeoutError` - Request timeout (→ 504 Gateway Timeout)
+- `ServiceUnavailableError` - Connection failures (→ 503 Service Unavailable)
+- `ConnectionResetError` - Socket reset (→ 502 Bad Gateway)
+- `GatewayTimeoutError` - Headers timeout (→ 504 Gateway Timeout)
+
+## Compatibility Notes
+- Requires Fastify 4.x
+- Incompatible with `@fastify/multipart` when registered as sibling plugins (warning issued on startup)
+- Supports both CommonJS and ESM via dual exports

+# HTTP Trailers Support Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the implementation plan for adding HTTP trailers support to @fastify/reply-from. HTTP trailers allow metadata to be sent after the response body, useful for checksums, timing data, and other information only available after processing.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Existing Architecture
+- **No trailer support**: The current codebase has no trailer handling functionality
+- **Header-only forwarding**: Only regular HTTP headers are forwarded via `copyHeaders()` and `rewriteHeaders()`
+- **Three HTTP clients**: HTTP/1.1 (`http`/`https`), HTTP/2 (`http2`), and undici - each with different trailer APIs
+- **Stream-based responses**: Responses are forwarded as streams via `res.stream`
+
+### Key Integration Points
+1. **lib/request.js**: HTTP client abstraction layer needs trailer collection
+2. **index.js**: Main plugin needs trailer forwarding and API hooks
+3. **lib/utils.js**: Utility functions for trailer manipulation
+4. **lib/errors.js**: Error handling for trailer-related failures
+
+## Implementation Architecture
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure
+
+#### 1.1 Trailer Collection in HTTP Clients (`lib/request.js`)
+
+**HTTP/1.1 Implementation**:
+```javascript
+function handleHttp1Req(opts, done) {
+  const req = requests[opts.url.protocol].request(/* ... */);
+  
+  req.on('response', res => {
+    let trailers = {};
+    
+    // Collect trailers when they arrive
+    res.on('end', () => {
+      trailers = res.trailers || {};
+    });
+    
+    done(null, { 
+      statusCode: res.statusCode, 
+      headers: res.headers, 
+      stream: res,
+      getTrailers: () => trailers  // Async accessor
+    });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**HTTP/2 Implementation**:
+```javascript
+function handleHttp2Req(opts, done) {
+  const req = http2Client.request(/* ... */);
+  let trailers = {};
+  
+  req.on('trailers', (headers) => {
+    trailers = headers;
+  });
+  
+  req.on('response', headers => {
+    done(null, { 
+      statusCode: headers[':status'], 
+      headers, 
+      stream: req,
+      getTrailers: () => trailers
+    });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**Undici Implementation**:
+```javascript
+function handleUndici(opts, done) {
+  pool.request(req, function (err, res) {
+    if (err) return done(err);
+    
+    done(null, { 
+      statusCode: res.statusCode, 
+      headers: res.headers, 
+      stream: res.body,
+      getTrailers: () => res.trailers || {}  // Built-in support
+    });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.2 Trailer Utilities (`lib/utils.js`)
+
+**New utility functions**:
+```javascript
+// Filter forbidden trailer fields per RFC 7230
+function filterForbiddenTrailers(trailers) {
+  const forbidden = new Set([
+    'transfer-encoding', 'content-length', 'host',
+    'cache-control', 'max-forwards', 'te', 'authorization',
+    'set-cookie', 'content-encoding', 'content-type', 'content-range'
+  ]);
+  
+  const filtered = {};
+  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(trailers)) {
+    if (!forbidden.has(key.toLowerCase()) && !key.startsWith(':')) {
+      filtered[key] = value;
+    }
+  }
+  return filtered;
+}
+
+// Copy trailers to Fastify reply
+function copyTrailers(trailers, reply) {
+  const filtered = filterForbiddenTrailers(trailers);
+  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(filtered)) {
+    reply.trailer(key, async () => value);
+  }
+}
+
+// Check if client supports trailers
+function clientSupportsTrailers(request) {
+  const te = request.headers.te || '';
+  return te.includes('trailers');
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Plugin Integration
+
+#### 2.1 Plugin Options Extension
+
+**New configuration options**:
+```javascript
+const defaultOptions = {
+  // Existing options...
+  
+  // Trailer-specific options
+  forwardTrailers: true,           // Enable/disable trailer forwarding
+  stripForbiddenTrailers: true,    // Remove forbidden trailer fields
+  requireTrailerSupport: false,    // Only forward if client advertises support
+  maxTrailerSize: 8192,           // Limit trailer header size
+  trailersTimeout: 5000           // Timeout for trailer collection
+};
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Request/Response Hook Extensions
+
+**New hook options**:
+```javascript
+reply.from(source, {
+  // Existing options...
+  
+  // Trailer hooks
+  rewriteTrailers: (trailers, request) => {
+    // Transform upstream trailers before forwarding
+    return { ...trailers, 'x-proxy-timing': Date.now() };
+  },
+  
+  onTrailers: (request, reply, trailers) => {
+    // Custom trailer handling
+    console.log('Received trailers:', trailers);
+  },
+  
+  addTrailers: {
+    'x-proxy-id': 'fastify-reply-from',
+    'x-response-time': async (reply, payload) => {
+      return `${Date.now() - reply.startTime}ms`;
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Main Plugin Logic Update (`index.js`)
+
+**Enhanced response handling**:
+```javascript
+requestImpl({ method, url, qs, headers: requestHeaders, body }, (err, res) => {
+  if (err) {
+    // Existing error handling...
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  // Existing header and status code handling...
+  
+  if (onResponse) {
+    onResponse(this.request, this, res.stream);
+  } else {
+    this.send(res.stream);
+  }
+  
+  // NEW: Handle trailers after response is sent
+  if (opts.forwardTrailers !== false && res.getTrailers && clientSupportsTrailers(this.request)) {
+    handleTrailerForwarding(this, res, opts);
+  }
+});
+
+function handleTrailerForwarding(reply, res, opts) {
+  // Set up trailer collection with timeout
+  const trailerTimeout = setTimeout(() => {
+    reply.request.log.warn('Trailer collection timeout');
+  }, opts.trailersTimeout || 5000);
+  
+  // Wait for response stream to end, then collect trailers
+  res.stream.on('end', () => {
+    clearTimeout(trailerTimeout);
+    
+    try {
+      const trailers = res.getTrailers();
+      if (Object.keys(trailers).length > 0) {
+        const rewriteTrailers = opts.rewriteTrailers || ((t) => t);
+        const processedTrailers = rewriteTrailers(trailers, reply.request);
+        
+        if (opts.onTrailers) {
+          opts.onTrailers(reply.request, reply, processedTrailers);
+        } else {
+          copyTrailers(processedTrailers, reply);
+        }
+      }
+      
+      // Add custom trailers if specified
+      if (opts.addTrailers) {
+        addCustomTrailers(reply, opts.addTrailers);
+      }
+      
+    } catch (error) {
+      reply.request.log.error(error, 'Error processing trailers');
+    }
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Testing Strategy
+
+#### 3.1 Unit Tests
+
+**Test files to create**:
+- `test/trailers-http1.test.js` - HTTP/1.1 trailer forwarding
+- `test/trailers-http2.test.js` - HTTP/2 trailer forwarding  
+- `test/trailers-undici.test.js` - Undici trailer forwarding
+- `test/trailers-hooks.test.js` - Custom trailer hooks
+- `test/trailers-errors.test.js` - Error handling scenarios
+
+**Test scenarios**:
+```javascript
+// Basic trailer forwarding
+tap.test('forwards upstream trailers to client', async (t) => {
+  const upstream = createUpstreamWithTrailers();
+  const proxy = createProxy({ forwardTrailers: true });
+  
+  const response = await proxy.inject('/test');
+  t.equal(response.trailers['x-custom'], 'value');
+});
+
+// Forbidden trailer filtering
+tap.test('strips forbidden trailer fields', async (t) => {
+  const upstream = createUpstreamWithForbiddenTrailers();
+  const proxy = createProxy({ stripForbiddenTrailers: true });
+  
+  const response = await proxy.inject('/test');
+  t.notOk(response.trailers['content-length']);
+  t.ok(response.trailers['x-allowed']);
+});
+
+// Client capability detection
+tap.test('only sends trailers when client supports them', async (t) => {
+  const upstream = createUpstreamWithTrailers();
+  const proxy = createProxy({ requireTrailerSupport: true });
+  
+  // Without TE: trailers header
+  let response = await proxy.inject('/test');
+  t.notOk(response.trailers);
+  
+  // With TE: trailers header
+  response = await proxy.inject({
+    url: '/test',
+    headers: { 'TE': 'trailers' }
+  });
+  t.ok(response.trailers);
+});
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Integration Tests
+
+**Real-world scenarios**:
+- Content integrity verification with MD5 trailers
+- Performance timing data collection
+- Custom metadata forwarding
+- Error handling with malformed trailers
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation
+
+#### 4.1 README Updates
+
+**New sections to add**:
+
+```markdown
+### Trailer Support
+
+@fastify/reply-from supports HTTP trailers for forwarding metadata that's only available after processing the response body.
+
+#### Basic Usage
+
+```javascript
+// Enable trailer forwarding
+proxy.register(require('@fastify/reply-from'), {
+  base: 'http://localhost:3001/',
+  forwardTrailers: true
+});
+
+proxy.get('/', (request, reply) => {
+  reply.from('/');
+});
+```
+
+#### Advanced Configuration
+
+```javascript
+proxy.get('/', (request, reply) => {
+  reply.from('/', {
+    rewriteTrailers: (trailers, request) => {
+      // Add proxy timing information
+      return {
+        ...trailers,
+        'x-proxy-time': Date.now() - request.startTime
+      };
+    },
+    
+    addTrailers: {
+      'x-proxy-version': '1.0.0'
+    }
+  });
+});
+```
+
+#### Options
+
+- `forwardTrailers` (boolean): Enable trailer forwarding (default: true)
+- `stripForbiddenTrailers` (boolean): Remove RFC-forbidden trailer fields (default: true)
+- `requireTrailerSupport` (boolean): Only send trailers if client advertises support (default: false)
+- `trailersTimeout` (number): Timeout in ms for trailer collection (default: 5000)
+```
+
+#### 4.2 Type Definitions (`types/index.d.ts`)
+
+**TypeScript interface updates**:
+```typescript
+interface FastifyReplyFromOptions {
+  // Existing options...
+  
+  forwardTrailers?: boolean;
+  stripForbiddenTrailers?: boolean;
+  requireTrailerSupport?: boolean;
+  trailersTimeout?: number;
+}
+
+interface ReplyFromOptions {
+  // Existing options...
+  
+  rewriteTrailers?: (trailers: Record<string, string>, request: FastifyRequest) => Record<string, string>;
+  onTrailers?: (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply, trailers: Record<string, string>) => void;
+  addTrailers?: Record<string, string | ((reply: FastifyReply, payload?: any) => Promise<string>)>;
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Timeline
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (Week 1-2)
+- [ ] Implement trailer collection in HTTP clients
+- [ ] Add trailer utility functions
+- [ ] Create basic plugin option parsing
+
+### Phase 2: Integration (Week 3-4)
+- [ ] Implement main trailer forwarding logic
+- [ ] Add configuration options and hooks
+- [ ] Integrate with existing request/response pipeline
+
+### Phase 3: Testing (Week 5-6)
+- [ ] Write comprehensive unit tests
+- [ ] Add integration tests for all HTTP clients
+- [ ] Performance testing with trailer overhead
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation (Week 7)
+- [ ] Update README with trailer documentation
+- [ ] Add TypeScript definitions
+- [ ] Create usage examples and migration guide
+
+## Compatibility Considerations
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- **None expected**: All trailer functionality is opt-in via configuration
+- **Default behavior**: Trailers disabled by default for backward compatibility
+
+### HTTP Client Support
+- **HTTP/1.1**: Full support with chunked encoding requirement
+- **HTTP/2**: Native trailer support, no additional requirements
+- **Undici**: Built-in trailer collection, most reliable implementation
+
+### Browser Compatibility
+- **Modern browsers**: Good trailer support
+- **Legacy clients**: May ignore trailers (graceful degradation)
+- **CDN/Proxy issues**: Some intermediaries strip trailers
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Trailer Filtering
+- **Forbidden headers**: Automatically strip security-sensitive trailer fields
+- **Size limits**: Implement maximum trailer size to prevent memory exhaustion
+- **Timeout protection**: Prevent hanging connections waiting for trailers
+
+### Client Validation
+- **TE header checking**: Only send trailers when client advertises support
+- **Malformed trailer handling**: Graceful error recovery for invalid trailer data
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Memory Usage
+- **Trailer buffering**: Minimal overhead for collecting trailer data
+- **Stream handling**: No impact on response body streaming performance
+
+### Latency
+- **Additional roundtrip**: Trailers sent after response body completion
+- **Timeout overhead**: Configurable timeout for trailer collection (default: 5s)
+
+### Benchmarking Plan
+- Compare response times with/without trailer forwarding
+- Memory usage analysis with large trailer sets
+- Throughput impact assessment
+
+This implementation plan provides a comprehensive roadmap for adding HTTP trailers support to @fastify/reply-from while maintaining backward compatibility and following established patterns in the codebase.
