Configuring chained requests via express middlewares

[retrocausal]

What would you like to discuss?

I have a project where I am using express to proxy requests to a backend from the browser

I found an issue that might be related, But was not too sure.

the express configuration is pretty straightforward , and looks like so:

router.use(`route`, middleware1, middleware2);

middlewares use got via a wrapper object . This is by design, so every route handler need not import got and configure options

the wrapper does nothing but provide an execute method, that looks like so:

execute (){
   this.options.method = this.method
   this.options.headers = this.request.headers
   this.options.responseType = this.downstreamContentType
  /* attach body only if method is POST / PUT*/
   try {
          const awaited = await got(this.source, this.options);
    }catch(e){}

}

the problem is, once middleware1 finishes and next() is called within the stack, middleware 2
changes the url/source ,method , adds an Authorization token received by middleware1
and creates a new wrapper - then calls wrapper.execute

this call simply times out. or, gives me an ECONNRESET message in the catch block.

1. I have tried requesting the same resource via postman and curl after adding the same Authorization token, and it works fine.
2. I have tried making the above two requests as chained fetch calls, from the browser and it still works.

The issue only happens when I use a multiple middleware stack on a route in express with got
Or, even when i dont use chained middlewares, and try to execute two got requests in a single middleware. the second request still fails.

I am using got v10+
I have not configured a timeout or a retry in got's options, almost everything apart from whats needed is left to its default value

Could you set up a RunKit example? Or create an example repository? I can't recreate the issue by myself.

@retrocausal Friendly ping.

@szmarczak Sorry, I havent been able to create an example repository. I meant to reply earlier, and could not do so.

Should I close this and check later once I have an example repo?

[szmarczak]

Please try 11.0.0-beta.1 out and let me know if it's fixed or not.

Friendly ping.

Closing due to a lack of response.
