The `cookie` package serializes `opts.maxAge` verbatim, so the ms value leaks into the header unconverted.\n\nActual failure:\n\n```\nexpected /name=tobi; Max-Age=1; Path=\\/; Expires=/\n     got \"name=tobi; Max-Age=1000; Path=/; Expires=Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:46:01 GMT\"\n```\n\n`git log -L 879,886:lib/response.js` shows the regression landed in `a8df532 Release 4.21.2`, which replaced `Math.floor(maxAge / 1000)` with `maxAge`.\n\n| | value | unit |\n|---|---:|---|\n| `res.cookie(..., {maxAge: 1000})` | 1000 | ms (Express API) |\n| `Expires` (correct) | now + 1000 ms | ms |\n| `Max-Age` (correct) | 1 | s |\n| `Max-Age` (current) | 1000 | ms, mislabelled as s |\n\n## Two things worth flagging\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> The impact is bigger than one test: every cookie Express sets now lives **1000× longer** than requested as far as `Max-Age` goes. Browsers prefer `Max-Age` over `Expires` when both are present, so the correct `Expires` doesn't save you — a 1-second session cookie persists ~17 minutes, a 1-day cookie ~3 years.\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> The sibling test `should set max-age` (`test/res.cookie.js:126`) currently **passes but shouldn't** — its regex `/Max-Age=1/` matches `Max-Age=1000` as a substring. It's an unanchored-regex false pass, not independent confirmation that the conversion works.\n\nFix is the one-line restore of `Math.floor(maxAge / 1000)`.

That's the one `req.secure` is supposed to reflect. This code takes the tail instead.\n\n| Header | Correct (first hop) | Current code | Test expects |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `https, http` | `https` | `http` → `secure=false` | `yes` ❌ |\n| `http, https` | `http` | `https` → `secure=true` | `no` ❌ |\n\nBoth multi-hop tests are broken, in opposite directions. `npm test` runs mocha with `--bail` (`package.json:97`), so it stops at the first one (`should return false when initial proxy is http`, `test/req.secure.js:65`) and you only see one failure. Running the file alone shows both:\n\n```\n1) should return false when initial proxy is http:  expected 'no',  got 'yes'\n2) should return true when initial proxy is https:  expected 'yes', got 'no'\n```\n\nIntroduced in `f8fee73` (\"Release 4.21.2\"), which flipped `header.substring(0, index)` to `header.substring(index + 1)`. The single-value tests still pass because that path doesn't hit the comma branch.\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> This is a security-relevant regression, not just a failing test. A client can send `X-Forwarded-Proto: http, https` to a trust-proxy app and make `req.secure` report `true` over plaintext — defeating any HTTPS-redirect or secure-cookie check built on it.\n\nThe fix is the one-character revert back to `header.substring(0, index)`.

With the `- 1`, they're shifted by `o - 1`, so the child's first param lands on top of the parent's last one and gets clobbered by `mixin(obj, params)` — well, strictly: the child's index 0 is written to `o-1`, then deleted, and the parent's value at `o-1` wins the merge, so the child's first capture disappears entirely.\n\nWalking the failing case, `app.use('/user/id:(\\\\d+)')` + `router.get('/*.*')` on `/user/id:10/profile.json`:\n\n| | parent | child in | child after shift | merged |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| expected | `{0:'10'}` | `{0:'profile',1:'json'}` | `{1:'profile',2:'json'}` | `[[\"0\",\"10\"],[\"1\",\"profile\"],[\"2\",\"json\"]]` |\n| actual | `{0:'10'}` | `{0:'profile',1:'json'}` | `{1:'json'}` (0 written to `0`, then deleted) | `[[\"0\",\"10\"],[\"1\",\"json\"]]` |\n\n`'profile'` is lost.

It gets `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1`.\n\n## Root cause\n\n`lib/utils.js:255` — `setCharset` was changed from unconditional assignment to a guard:\n\n```js\nif (!parsed.parameters.charset) parsed.parameters.charset = charset;\n```\n\nIntroduced in `b3b1a31` (\"Release 4.21.2\"):\n\n```diff\n-  parsed.parameters.charset = charset;\n+  if (!parsed.parameters.charset) parsed.parameters.charset = charset;\n```\n\n`setCharset` has exactly one caller: `lib/response.js:174`, inside `res.send`'s \"write strings in utf-8\" branch. That branch exists because Express writes string bodies with `encoding = 'utf8'` (`lib/response.js:169`) — the rewrite of the header is there to make the declared charset match the bytes actually on the wire. With the guard, a pre-existing charset wins and the header now lies: body encoded utf-8, header says iso-8859-1.\n\nVerified directly:\n\n```\nnode -e \"require('./lib/utils').setCharset('text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1','utf-8')\"\n→ \"text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\"\n```\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n  A[\"res.set('Content-Type',<br/>'text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1')\"] --> B[\"res.send('hey')\"]\n  B --> C{\"typeof chunk<br/>=== 'string'?\"}\n  C -->|yes| D[\"encoding = 'utf8'<br/>response.js:169\"]\n  D --> E[\"setCharset(type, 'utf-8')<br/>utils.js:246\"]\n  E --> F{\"parsed.parameters<br/>.charset set?\"}\n  F -->|\"yes → guard skips\"| G[\"keeps iso-8859-1<br/>❌ header ≠ bytes\"]\n  F -->|no| H[\"sets utf-8 ✔\"]\n```\n\n## Why the neighbouring tests still pass\n\n| Test | Why unaffected |\n| --- | --- |\n| `should not override Content-Type` (`text/plain`) | No charset present, so the guard doesn't trigger — utf-8 gets appended as before. |\n| `should keep charset in Content-Type for Buffers` | Buffer bodies never reach the string branch at `response.js:168`, so `setCharset` isn't called. |\n\nSo reverting the guard restores the failing test without touching the three passing ones — the Buffer case is already protected by the `typeof chunk === 'string'` check, not by this guard.\n\nNote: the guard looks like it was meant to \"respect an explicitly-set charset\", but the right place for that would be the caller deciding not to force utf-8 encoding — the charset parameter and the write encoding have to agree."

    "answer": "Found it. No files changed.\n\n## Cause\n\n`lib/utils.js:255` — `setCharset` only sets the charset when one isn't already present:\n\n```js\n// set charset\nif (!parsed.parameters.charset) parsed.parameters.charset = charset;\n```\n\nThat turns an *override* into a *fill-in-if-missing*. The function's whole contract (its name, its only caller, and its own unit test) is \"force this charset.\"\n\n## Flow\n\nThe test sets `Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1`, then calls `res.send('hey')`. In `lib/response.js:168-176`, a string body is always written as UTF-8, so Express rewrites the header to match:\n\n```js\nif (typeof chunk === 'string') {\n  encoding = 'utf8';\n  type = this.get('Content-Type');\n  if (typeof type === 'string') {\n    this.set('Content-Type', setCharset(type, 'utf-8'));   // line 174\n  }\n}\n```\n\nWith the guard in place, `charset=iso-8859-1` survives, so the response claims Latin-1 while the bytes on the wire are UTF-8 — a real mislabeling bug, not just a failing assertion. The fix is to drop the condition and assign unconditionally.\n\n```mermaid\nflowchart LR\n  A[\"res.set('Content-Type',<br/>'text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1')\"] --> B[\"res.send('hey')\"]\n  B --> C[\"response.js:168<br/>string → encoding = utf8\"]\n  C --> D[\"setCharset(type, 'utf-8')\"]\n  D --> E{\"utils.js:255<br/>charset already set?\"}\n  E -->|\"yes → keep it (bug)\"| F[\"text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1<br/>❌ bytes are UTF-8\"]\n  E -.->|\"expected: always assign\"| G[\"text/plain; charset=utf-8 ✅\"]\n```\n\n## Scope\n\n`setCharset` has exactly one caller (`lib/response.js:174`), so the blast radius is string bodies sent with a pre-set charset. Buffer bodies skip the branch entirely — that's why *\"should keep charset in Content-Type for Buffers\"* still passes.\n\nTwo tests fail from this one line; `npm test` runs with `--bail`, so you only saw the first:\n\n| Test | Location |\n|---|---|\n| `utils.setCharset` — should override charset | `test/utils.js:47` |\n| `res.send(String)` — should override charset in Content-Type | `test/res.send.js:157` |\n\nThe unit test at `test/utils.js:47` is the more direct statement of intent; the `res.send` one is downstream of it.\n\nNote: the stack trace in the failure output points at `C:\\Users\\Public\\bench-express\\express\\node_modules\\supertest\\...` — a different directory from this working copy. That's just the `node_modules` symlink/copy origin, not a second checkout being tested."
