In the following code, I’m forcing an error. GOT error is printed on console so the program is going in catch block, but express never sends a response with statusCode 500.

app.get("/", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    res.setHeader("Cache-control", `public, max-age=${maxAge}`);

    await pipeline(got.stream(someUrl), res);
  } catch (error) {
    const errMsg =
      error instanceof RequestError
        ? `GOT Request Error ${error.message}`
        : "Some other Error " + (error as Error).message;

    console.error(errMsg);

    res.sendStatus(500);
  }
});

Here is a screenshot from client

Environment:

• Nodejs v22.4.1

Expected result: express should send response with statusCode 500.
