What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I'm experiencing Bad Request responses when uploading large zip archives on slow internet connection (My colleagues have slower internet connection + archive size varies so I throttle requests in chrome).

Basically I just createWriteStream and pipe payload to writer in handler.

My route:

const route = {
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/import/archive',
  handler: Handler.importArchive,
  options: {
    payload: {
      allow: [ 'application/zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed' ],
      maxBytes: Bytes('15gb'),
      output: 'stream',
      parse: false
      timeout: false
    },
    timeout: {
      server: false,
      socket: false
    }
  }

But timeouts does not work and it always crashes after ~5 mins

I think issue is somewhere in

hapi/lib/core.js

Line 543 in 71ffe08

 const listener = this.settings.listener ?? (this.settings.tls ? Https.createServer(this.settings.tls) : Http.createServer()); 

where listener has default requestTimeout = 300000 - it is 5mins reported by browser ^^

What was the result you got?

  },
  channel: 'internal'
}

from

server.events.on('log', ...)

And

Error: Bad Request

    statusCode: 400,
    payload: { statusCode: 400, error: 'Bad Request', message: 'Bad Request' },
    headers: { connection: 'close' }
  }
}

from

server.ext('onPreResponse', (request, h) => {
    console.log(request.response);
    return h.continue;
  })

What result did you expect?

Successfully import archives

Is it possible to solve it? I need to increase timeout only for 1-2 routes so I wondered it could be solved with options.timeout.server/socket or options.payload.timeout.

Thanks

Could this be possibly caused by the missing comma after the parse option?

[Radoslav Irha]

Hi @michaellasky ^^ is just an example with missing comma. I use eslint in code and i double checked the comma is there.

Hi,

I got the same issue and it seems related to #4447
Setting server.listener.requestTimeout = 0 has solved the issue in my case :)

Best,
Adrien
