Restify Version: 11.1.0 Node.js Version: v20.15.0

Expected behaviour

Badly formatted requests are rejected or gracefully handled

Actual behaviour

A badly formatted request produces an uncaught error and terminates the node process, unless you're using the deprecated handleUncaughtExceptions: true option

Repro case

const restify = require('restify')
const axios = require('axios')

const server = restify.createServer({handleUncaughtExceptions: false})
server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser())

server.get('/hello', function (req, res, next) {
  res.send(200, {hello: 'world'})
})

server.listen(9595, function () {
  console.log(`${server.name} listening at ${server.url}`)
})

// intentionally send a request with an invalid (empty) gzip body
// this shouldn't crash the server
axios({
  method: 'get',
  url: 'http://localhost:9595/hello',
  headers: {'Content-encoding': 'gzip', 'Content-type': 'application/json'},
  validateStatus: () => true
}).then(response => {
  console.log('server response', response.status, response.data)

  server.close()
})

Cause

Possibly a bug in the bodyParser plugin?

Are you willing and able to fix this?

Yes, with some guidance on the right way to address this. Should the bodyParser plugin catch errors related to bad user input?
