What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I'm experiencing Bad Request responses when uploading large zip archives on slow internet connection (My colleagues have slower internet connection + archive size varies so I throttle requests in chrome).

Basically I just createWriteStream and pipe payload to writer in handler.

My route:

const route = {
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/import/archive',
  handler: Handler.importArchive,
  options: {
    payload: {
      allow: [ 'application/zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed' ],
      maxBytes: Bytes('15gb'),
      output: 'stream',
      parse: false
      timeout: false
    },
    timeout: {
      server: false,
      socket: false
    }
  }

But timeouts does not work and it always crashes after ~5 mins

I think issue is somewhere in

where listener has default requestTimeout = 300000 - it is 5mins reported by browser ^^

from

And

    statusCode: 400,
    payload: { statusCode: 400, error: 'Bad Request', message: 'Bad Request' },
    headers: { connection: 'close' }
  }
}

from

server.ext('onPreResponse', (request, h) => {
    console.log(request.response);
    return h.continue;
  })

What result did you expect?

Successfully import archives

Is it possible to solve it? I need to increase timeout only for 1-2 routes so I wondered it could be solved with options.timeout.server/socket or options.payload.timeout.

Thanks
