I'm building a node.js and express.js web app and it doesn't works as expected when a post request takes longer than 2 mins.
What happens is that after 2 mins my express route is re-called and then, after another 2 mins (4 mins in total) I get this error in the network tab for that post request:
net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
I read that express has a default timeout set to 2 mins, but that applies only to get requests...
This is my route:
const router = express.Router();
router.post('/', authenticate, async (req, res) => {
console.log('here');
setTimeout(function() {
res.status(201).json({success: true});
}, 400000);
})
It prints here to the console when I make the post request, and then it prints again here after 2 minutes.
This is my index file from server:
const app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
const compiler = webpack(webpackConfig);
app.use(webpackMiddleware(compiler, {
hot: true,
publicPath: webpackConfig.output.publicPath,
noInfo: true
}));
app.use(webpackHotMiddleware(compiler));
app.get('/*', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, './index.html'));
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Running on localhost:3000'));
app.timeout = 700000;
There are already 2 weeks since I'm facing this issue and any ideas or solutions would help me a lot. Please let me know if I need to provide more details.
