Disable Request TImeout in Koa

Question

I am getting a connection reset error. I am fairly certain this is coming from a long running REST request, that is timing out.

 { [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET' }

Is there a way to disable request timeouts in Koa, so that I can test this hypothesis?

I am running node version 5.x, koa 0.10, centOs 6

It seems your request take longer than default Koa timeout. Default Koa timeout is 2 minutes

I had similar problem one request take more time than 2 minutes. I was inspirate by zeronone commend in this post, and finally this line helped to me

ctx.request.socket.setTimeout(5 * 60 * 1000); 

so whole code in router could look like

router.post('/long-request', async (ctx) => {
    // set timeout to 5 minutes
    ctx.request.socket.setTimeout(5 * 60 * 1000); 

    // do some stuf what take long time
    // but less than 5 minutes
});

I really don't recommend do request what take longer than 1 minute, ideally run the heavy stuff on separate process and by other request just check if is the work done.

So that could be good just for testing purposes
