How to modify the nodejs request default timeout time?

Question

I\'m using a Node/express server. The default timeout of express is 120,000 ms, but it is not enough for me. When my response reaches 120,000 ms, the console will log

With the latest NodeJS you can experiment with this monkey patch:

const http = require("http");
const originalOnSocket = http.ClientRequest.prototype.onSocket;
require("http").ClientRequest.prototype.onSocket = function(socket) {
    const that = this;
    socket.setTimeout(this.timeout ? this.timeout : 3000);
    socket.on('timeout', function() {
        that.abort();
    });
    originalOnSocket.call(this, socket);
};
