Nodejs and express server closes connection after 2 minutes

Question

Im using Express 4.X and node js 0.12.

One of my routes is for file uploading and processing and for some of the files the upload and process takes more than the 2 m

Answer 1

server.setTimeout() is the method that sets the HTTP connection timeout for all connections.

The 2 minutes are default.

UPDATED ANSWER

Try this:

var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');

var app = module.exports.app = express();
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.setTimeout(10*60*1000); // 10 * 60 seconds * 1000 msecs
server.listen(appConfig.port, function () {
    var logger = app.get('logger');
    logger.info('**** STARTING SERVER ****');
});

Or this:

http.request(url).setTimeout()
