(a bit older release)

Actual code base: https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/file/tip/net/http/files.lua#l83
local etag = ('"%02x-%x-%x-%x"'):format(attr.dev or 0, attr.ino or 0, attr.size or 0, attr.modification or 0);

On FreeBSD stat.dev is uint64_t and looks like it is converted to int32_t somewhere in lua or prosody and result is negative.

Quick fix:
local etag = ('"%02x-%x-%x-%x"'):format(math.abs(attr.dev or 0), attr.ino or 0, attr.size or 0, attr.modification or 0);

produces ETag: "78ff00ff-12f9c-2b4548-5e6103f3"

Comment 3 Thomas Morper 2020-04-09 14:01:44 UTC
I'd recommend against including this patch in the port.

This is not a bug in Prosody per se but rather in luafilesystem which is conceptionally broken on 64-bit platforms. The stat call in lfs will return uint64 for things like device, inode, mtime, etc. But Lua (at least <=5.2) is unable to handle these correctly as it stores all numeric types as signed floats.

This really needs to be fixed upstream, either in Prosody by using a different approach to generate the etag, or in luafilesystem which should not return (negative) floats for uint64 values.
Comment 4 Ivan Rozhuk 2020-04-09 22:03:38 UTC
I will happy if some one make more proper fix for this issue.
But now no other fixes available here.

@Thomas What are the actions necessary to progress/resolve this issue
Comment 6 Thomas Morper 2020-04-11 02:16:26 UTC
@Kubilay This bug is not unique to FreeBSD but affects other 64-bit platforms as well. It's been reported upstream to the Prosody developers by the submitter and we'll wait for their reply.

The proposed patch will prevent the exception in the reported case but doesn't consider the other failure modes (huge inode numbers, file date in the future) and the etag's general unpredictability due to the underlying issue.

A new patch will be welcome but it should be greenlighted by upstream.
