Site hangs got

[vladtreny]

Describe the bug

• Node.js version: 15
• OS & version: Ubuntu 20 / Windows

Just run this code and you will never get a response. Timeout doesn't help.

const response = await got("http://www.1a2f.com");
console.log(response.body);

If you enable handler, you will see

{ percent: 0, transferred: 0, total: undefined }
{ percent: 1, transferred: 0, total: 0 }
{ percent: 0, transferred: 0, total: 1927 }
{ percent: 1, transferred: 4605, total: 4605 }

Actual behavior

stucks at const response = await got("http://www.1a2f.com");
P.S. Timeout doesn't help.
...

Expected behavior

get console.log(response.body);
...

Code to reproduce

const response = await got("http://www.1a2f.com");
console.log(response.body);

Hello, it doesn't help. It is just a buggy site I encountered in a search engine (one per 500k).
It returns 503 error and hangs got somewhere.

I have a solution for this. But I think, in general, it would be good if timeout work in this case. So I reported this issue :)

Indeed this is a bug. I need to check if this is fixed in Got 12.

Another example http://aadeshjain.com/

It returns 503 error the same way.

It took me a lot of time to find out what is wrong in my setup, hope will help other people :)

It doesn't hang. The retry-after header is set to 86400, which is 1 day. So Got is going to make a new retry after 1 day. You need to set a timeout in order to prevent this.
