I just started using Postman. I had this error "Error: socket hang up" when I was executing a collection runner. I've read a few post regarding socket hang up and it mention about sending a request and there's no response from the server side and probably timeout. How do I extend the length of time of the request in Postman Collection Runner?

Sometimes, this error rises when a client waits for a response for a very long time. This can be resolved using the 202 (Accepted) Http code. This basically means that you will tell the server to start the job you want it to do, and then, every some-time-period check if it has finished the job.

If you are the one who wrote the server, this is relatively easy to implement. If not, check the documentation of the server you're using.
