Hello this issue more about clarification, i have regular proxy to redirect requests to avoid CORS however also we need to be connected to customer VPN, and sometimes we have proxy worked and sometimes we have next

[HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request /login from localhost:4200 to <TARGET> (ETIMEDOUT) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)

but without proxy TARGET endpoint works well always so we’ve decided that it can be problem with proxying some, could you please clarify about it?

Might i need to add some configuration?

Thank you

I get the error ([HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request /api/v1/xxx from localhost:3000 to http://xxx.com (ECONNRESET) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)) when I post a body. Solved it by remove the express body-parser middleware before HPM. Mybe help for someone.

In my case I add a header in the client(proxy), then solves it

may this will help you

module.exports = function(app) {
    app.use(proxy('/api', {
        target: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/',
        headers: {
            "Connection": "keep-alive"
        },
    }));
};
