Description:

I started a daemon using ipfs daemon command. I created an express server with HTTP api endpoints to download and upload to files to IPFS. I used ipfs-http-client:49.0.2 to interact with the local ipfs gateway (localhost:5001). I get TimeoutError after 5-6 successful GET requests. The logs from the express server are following.

The error persist until I restart either the ipfs daemon or my express server.

Steps to reproduce the error:

Call ipfs.get function multiple times.

var IPFS = require('ipfs-http-client');
global.ipfs = IPFS({ host: 'localhost', port: 5001, protocol: 'http', timeout: 500 })
router.post('/file/get', function (req, res, next) {
  try {
    for await (const file of ipfs.get(req.body.cid)) {
      for await (const chunk of file.content) {
        logger.info('ipfs get file successfully')
        return res.send(chunk)
      }
    }
  }
  catch (err) {
    return next(err)
  }

@b-rohit what is the reason to limit request to timeout: 500 ? Seems you artificially caused those timeouts.
it feels low even for localhost if your machine is under additional load

Stale, assuming no longer an issue. Feel free to reopen new one, if latest versions still manifest this.

@b-rohit what was your solution for this? I'm seeing very similar behaviour, when my express server first starts files via ipfs can be retrieved almost instantly (they are pinned by the ipfs daemon I'm pointing to), then after some time the responses seem to become patchy before they eventually all fail.

Using "ipfs-http-client": "^56.0.3"
and the daemon is using ipfs/kubo 0.14.0
