IncomingMessage.prototype.complete - http - Node documentation
property IncomingMessage.prototype.complete

Usage in Deno

import { IncomingMessage } from "node:http";

The message.complete property will be true if a complete HTTP message has been received and successfully parsed.

This property is particularly useful as a means of determining if a client or server fully transmitted a message before a connection was terminated:

const req = http.request({
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 8080,
  method: 'POST',
}, (res) => {
  res.resume();
  res.on('end', () => {
    if (!res.complete)
      console.error(
        'The connection was terminated while the message was still being sent');
  });
});
