heroku timeout after 30 secs

[hansdampf01]

It seems like the script is not working for me as it takes too long.
heroku closes the connection after 30 seconds and you cant change this timeout as its strictly set by heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/request-timeout

Is there a chance to either add a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked header" or separate the script into threads and have the import run in the background and post something to the server every few seconds so the connection keeps open?

Hi there,

Are you running this script in Heroku, or are you running Nightscout in heroku and reaching the timeouts there?

This tool is more designed to run via cron, where it can be kicked off as a task to run every ~15 minutes, than a service like Heroku which is primarily for webhosting. And when this does send data to Nightscout, it's already in small increments, rather than via a single long-running connection, so I'm not sure what could be changed here to better support your use case.
