openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] mitmproxy causes gateway LLM timeouts [1 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

The fix involves configuring mitmproxy to increase the timeout for LLM requests and ensuring the OpenClaw gateway properly handles the proxy settings.

Steps to Fix

• Increase the timeout in mitmproxy by adding the following option when starting mitmproxy:

  --set timeout=300  # sets the timeout to 5 minutes

• Update the OpenClaw gateway to handle proxy settings more robustly. This can be achieved by adding a retry mechanism for LLM requests. Example code snippet:

  const axios = require('axios');
  
  // Set up axios with retry mechanism
  const axiosClient = axios.create({
    // Existing config...
    timeout: 300000, // 5 minutes
    retry: 3, // number of retries
    retryDelay: 1000 // delay between retries in milliseconds
  });
  
  // Use axiosClient for LLM requests
  axiosClient.get(llmUrl)
    .then(response => {
      // Handle response
    })
    .catch(error => {
      // Handle error
    });

• Ensure the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable is correctly set to the path of the mitmproxy CA certificate.

Verification

To verify the fix, restart mitmproxy with the increased timeout and run the OpenClaw gateway with the updated proxy settings. Attempt to use an LLM through the gateway and check if the "LLM timeout" error is resolved.

Extra Tips

• Regularly review and update the mitmproxy configuration to ensure it aligns with the requirements of the OpenClaw gateway and LLM requests.
• Consider implementing a more robust error handling mechanism in the OpenClaw gateway to handle potential issues with the proxy settings.
