Research direction

Start with lib/server.js and the changes discussed in pull request 337, then reproduce the PNG download failure on Node.js 20 using the reported highcharts v2 setup. Compare behavior after a clean npm install; done means the export server can save Highcharts charts as PNG files on Node.js 20.

Description

pending reply

After upgrading from node version 14.x.x to version 20, we are encountering issues with saving highcharts as PNG files. Previously, everything was functioning properly with node 14 and highcharts v2. I have already attempted several solutions, including running npm install after removing the node_modules folder, as well as updating the lib/server.js file according to this pull request. Unfortunately, these approaches have not resolved the issue. Any further suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
