Increase Dev Server Timeout?

[iq-dot]

Hi All,

I have an application that queries databases that on some instances can take more than 5 minutes. It seems the dev proxy server has a default timeout of around 2mins (I assume from express / nodejs socket default).

Is there an easy way to increase this timeout on create-react-app ?

Best,
Iqbal

Wow, that's a long HTTP request -- I'd suggest you make other changes in your application, such as returning immediately with a response acknowledging that it's queued, followed by repeated requests to check on its status.

Alternatively, a websocket might be better suited -- long running HTTP connections usually indicate a problem.

Yeah its an interface to analytical platform so some can be long (millions of records are being analysed). So some queries are quite big, perhaps I will look at websockets.

Good luck!

(also to fully answer your original question, you can't -- but I don't think exposing an option for this would help because you'd most likely run into issues when deploying in production anyway)
