Description
Node version 8.11.3. 64-bit Windows 8.1
As I understood from docs, timeout property in https.request options sets socket connection timeout.
I set it to minimum - 1 millisecond and it should definitely trigger 'timeout' event.
const options = {
host: 'yobit.net',
path: '/api/3/depth/ltc_btc',
timeout: 1
}
const req = https.request(options, res => {
});
req.on('timeout', () => {
console.error('request timeout');
})
req.end();
I expect 'reqest timeout' console message but it doen't appear.
However, when I create my custom https Agent with overriden createConnection method that sets initial socket timeout to 1 millisecond there:
MyAgent.prototype.createConnection = function() {
const socket = https.Agent.prototype.createConnection.apply(this, arguments);
socket.setTimeout(1);
return socket;
}
and run the first code with agent parameter set to my custom agent, now it fires 'timeout' event.
