I have created a Javascript based REST API page (private chrome extension) which integrates with the Oracle tool and fetches response. It works fine if the response is received within around 3-5 mins however, if it takes additional time it gives ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE error.

I have tried xhr.timeout but still it gives the same ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE error. How can we ask the Javascript to wait for more time?

Thanks..

If you are making ajax call to server and want to increase waiting time of response then you need to set "timeout" interval at server side.

In nodejs I am giving the way that you can apply at server side to increase timeout period.

in app.js file(express framework)

write down following code

 app.use(function(req, res, next) {
 //Set time out for request to 24hour
 req.connection.setTimeout(24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
 next();
 });

you need to do this at server side

  • I cant edit the timeout at server side, what can be done at the client side.. Also, the header response I get from server is "keep-alive: timeout=5, max=100". Does it mean it keeps the response alive till 5 mins? I am using simple xmlhttprequest not using any javascript library.. – Abhijeet Panchgam Aug 22 '17 at 12:08
  • thanks for the update so I infer that client cannot control the timeout. Also, the issue which I am facing is related to timeout? or its some other? since the error response is not helpful to understand whats the issue – Abhijeet Panchgam Aug 22 '17 at 15:06
