I m assuming you re using express  given the logs you have in your question   The key is to set the timeout property on server  the following sets the timeout to one second  use whatever value you want    var server   app listen app get  port    function       debug  Express server listening on port     server address   port       server timeout   1000    If you re not using express and are only working with vanilla node  the principle is the same   The following will not return data   var http   require  http    var server   http createServer function  req  res      setTimeout function         res writeHead 200    Content-Type    text plain         res end  Hello World n         200      listen 1337   127 0 0 1     server timeout   20  console log  Server running at http   127 0 0 1 1337
