As a general solution I would suggest increasing the request timeout. Could you provide me a minimal example so I can reproduce the error?

if his issue was anything like mine, just using bun.sh causes this. increasing the timeout has no effect and you end up orphaning a server process on port 9119.

this was running the example from the README:

const initCycleTLS = require('cycletls');
// Typescript: import initCycleTLS from 'cycletls';

(async () => {
  // Initiate CycleTLS
  const cycleTLS = await initCycleTLS();

  // Send request
  const response = await cycleTLS('https://ja3er.com/json', {
    body: '',
    ja3: '771,4865-4867-4866-49195-49199-52393-52392-49196-49200-49162-49161-49171-49172-51-57-47-53-10,0-23-65281-10-11-35-16-5-51-43-13-45-28-21,29-23-24-25-256-257,0',
    userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0',
    proxy: 'http://username:password@hostname.com:443', 
  }, 'get');

  console.log(response);

  // Cleanly exit CycleTLS
  cycleTLS.exit();

})();

Process then hangs there, pressing ctrl-c yields:

error: Could not connect to the CycleTLS instance within 4000ms
^C58 |     }
59 |     else {
60 |         if (child) {
61 |             // For Linux/Darwin OS
62 |             await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
63 |                 process.kill(-child.pid);
                     ^
RangeError: pid must be a positive integer

after which you gotta use other means of finding and killing that pid if just running from the terminal. lsof -i :9119 or top works alright.

Edit: changing that line to process.kill(child.pid) makes it so ctrl-c kills the process, but timeout issue persists with bun.

I have the same problem whern runing ctyle for request for a long time

[GiveDaData]

same here, I run about 900 requests/minutes. After about 10 minutes, CycleTLS seems to be non-responsive where all requests are timed out with status 408.

Sometimes it won't even give any response and just hangs at the await CycleTLS(...) even when I have "timeout" set.

I tried to use a function to timeout the promise, but when the bug happens, CycleTLS will just timeout(via my timeout function) everytime and not give any responses.

I also tried to CycleTLS.exit() and cycleTLS = await initCycleTLS(); again. still the same continues timeout.

Has anyone found a fix for this? It's a very serious bug that makes CycleTLS practically unusable

I had the same problem, which worked well at first and started to be unresponsive after about ten minutes

Have you found a solution now?
