Close event doesnt fire

[SupertigerDev]

server.post("/upload", (req, res) => {
  res.on("close", () => {
    console.log("closed"); // never fires
  });

  setInterval(() => {
    console.log(req.end); // always false
  }, 1000);
});

Property 'end' does not exist on type 'Request, and res.on("close") never fire if you don't send the response

Maybe, you want this?

const express = require("express");

const app = express();

app.set("catch async errors", true);

app.get("/upload", (req, res) => {
  res.on("close", () => {
    console.log("closed"); // never fires
  });

  const t = setInterval(() => {
    console.log('req.end', req.end);
    console.log('res.writableEnded', res.writableEnded);
  }, 1000);
  t.unref()

  res.send("ok");
});

app.listen(13333, () => {
  console.log("Server is running at http://localhost:13333");
});

Express

closed
req.end undefined
res.writableEnded true

Ultimate Express

closed
req.end undefined
res.writableEnded true

Ah I see. But it seems like the close event is different to express as it fires when I manually end the request in postman
