Node.js http.ServerResponse.setTimeout() Method
The httpServerResponse.setTimeout is an inbuilt application programming interface of class ServerResponse within the HTTP module which is used to set the Socket’s timeout value to msecs (Milliseconds).
Syntax:
const response.setTimeout(msecs[, callback])
Parameters: This method takes the first parameter as socket time-out value in a millisecond, and the second parameter is a callback function which is optional.
Return Value: This method returns nothing but a call-back function for further operation.
Example 1: Filename-index.js
Javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // response.setTimeout() method // Importing http module const http = require( 'http' ); // Setting up PORT const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000; // Creating http Server const httpServer = http.createServer( function (request, response) { // Setting the socket time out value // by using setTimeout method response.setTimeout(6000, () => { console.log( "socket is destroyed due to timeout" ) }) }); // Listening to http Server httpServer.listen(PORT, () => { console.log( "Server is running at port 3000..." ); }); |
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
Server is running at port 3000... socket is destroyed due to timeout
Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Example 2: Filename-index.js
Javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the // response.setTimeout() Method // Importing http module const http = require( 'http' ); // Request and response handler const httpHandlers = (request, response) => { // Setting the socket time out value // by using setTimeout method response.setTimeout(5000, () => { console.log( "socket is destroyed due to timeout" ) }) } // Creating http Server const httpServer = http.createServer( httpHandlers).listen(3000, () => { console.log( "Server is running at port 3000..." ); }); |
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
Server is running at port 3000... socket is destroyed due to timeout
Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
