Description

Steps to reproduce the issue, if applicable. Include the actual command and output and/or stack trace.

Not sure sorry as there is a lot of traffic on the server, just appears to all be normal GET requests.

What did you expect to happen? The server to not crash. Ideally the error would be returned as a 503.

_http_outgoing.js:485
    throw new ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT('set');
    ^

Tell us about your environment Windows Server 2016 Node.js v12.14.1 Latest Version (Embedded/Global CLI Version from NPM)

Other information (related issues, suggestions for a fix, etc): As far as I am aware the only thing that really needs to be done is catching the error and returning 503.
