What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Node application pod should be running without any crashing.

What do you see instead?

You probably have a http.Server instance where the headersTimeout or requestTimeout property isn't a number.

Node shouldn't be crashing, of course, but normally you pass those options to the constructor or http.createServer method that validates them. Tampering with them post facto can result in unpredictable behavior.

Yes, have a header timeout but configuration is missing in one environment. it used to work in v16.x Node JS version by taking default values i think. I think, pod should not crash due to this.
