Research direction

Reproduce the example curl request from the issue using the supplied Dockerfile, then inspect the triggerExport stack location in node_modules/highcharts-export-server/lib/export.js:157. Compare the request data and dependency/runtime versions around the failing call; done means the example export completes without the RangeError.

Hello people,

I'm currently try to setup the server with Docker.

Error Message when try the example test curl request: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"infile":{"title": {"text": "Chart"}, "xAxis": {"categories": ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar"]}, "series": [{"data": [29.9, 71.5, 106.4]}]}}' 127.0.0.1:7801:

I'm already tried different Node versions and HighChart versions but always I've got the toPrecision error but I can't find anything in this direction. I've also tried google-chrome-stable.

Has somebody an idea?
