Example 1: Filename: index.js
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// server.timeout APi
// 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) {
// Getting the reference of the
// underlying socket object
// by using socket API
const value = response.socket;
// Display result
// by using end() api
response.end("socket buffersize : "
+ value.bufferSize, 'utf8', () => {
console.log("Displaying the result...");
// Closing server by
// using close() api
httpServer.close(() => {
console.log("Server is closed")
})
});
});
// Listening to http Server
// by using listen() api
httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
});
// Getting default timeout value
// by using timeout api
const v = httpServer.timeout
// Display the Timeout value
console.log('Default time out value :- ' + v)
Run the index.js file using the below command:
node index.js
Console output:
Default time out value :- 0 Server is running at port 3000... Displaying the result... Displaying the result... Server is closed Server is closed
Browser Output: Paste the localhost address http://localhost:3000/ in the search bar of the browser.
socket buffersize : 0
Example 2: Filename: index.js
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// server.timeout APi
// Importing http module
const http = require('http');
// Request and response handler
const http2Handlers = (request, response) => {
// Getting the reference of the
// underlying socket object
// by using socket API
const value = response.socket;
// Display result
// by using end() api
response.end("socket local address : "
+ value.localAddress, 'utf8', () => {
console.log("Displaying the result...");
// Closing server
// by using close() api
httpServer.close(() => {
console.log("Server is closed")
})
});
};
// Listening to http Server
// by using listen() api
const httpServer = http.createServer(
http2Handlers).listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Server is running at port 3000...");
});
// Getting default timeout value
// by using timeout api
const v = httpServer.timeout
// Display the Default time
console.log('Default time out value :- ' + v)
Run the index.js file using the below command:
node index.js
Console Output:
Default time out value :- 0 Server is running at port 3000... Displaying the result... Displaying the result... Server is closed Server is closed
Browser Output: Paste the localhost address http://localhost:3000/ in the search bar of the browser.
socket local address : ::1
