Long duration requests leave server hung

[Nemo157]

rlidwka/render-readme#4 allows DoSing a sinopia server by simply attempting to expand a single readme. There should be some sort of timeout when doing synchronous processing of a request (if possible in node 😟, really not sure if it is). Maybe potentially processing intensive operations such as rendering the readmes should be moved to a subprocess to allow doing them asynchronously?

Fixed in [email protected]. It was caused by highlightAuto, and I turned off the entire thing.

Thanks for reporting!

I think all those processing-intensive operations are bugs which need to be fixed. So I doubt moving it to subprocesses is really necessary. You can launch multiple sinopia copies with something like pm2 though.
