Superagent hangs if the server is unresponsive and the only way around is setting a timeout.
This might go over many developers heads as a default timeout of 60 seconds is to be expected.
Documentation states it's expected behavior, but this is buried and is unnoticed until you actually use a timeout or have a request get freezing your app if using await.
EDIT: It seems that axios has the same behavior, so it could just be me in this case.
Node.js version: 12.22.0
OS version: Ubuntu 20.04
Description:
See above
Actual behavior
request.get('tiktok.com'); will never complete
Expected behavior
should throw a timeout error after 60 seconds if no timeout was set
Code to reproduce
request.get('tiktok.com');
Checklist
