The loadImage() method can fail with Request timed out error on older hardware

[Cryotalis]

Issue

• If this is an issue with installation, I have read the troubleshooting guide.

Issue does not occur on my desktop PC, but on my weaker and older laptop (where I'm hosting my app), the loadImage() method can fail with a Request timed out error (at simple-get/index.js:75:8). I can resolve this issue myself by going into node modules and setting a 10 second timeout in either the simple-get module itself or the node-canvas module where simple-get is being called (canvas > lib > image.js), but obviously this isn't ideal because my modification can get overwritten when I update my dependencies. The loadImage() method has an options parameter, but I don't think this options parameter has anything to do with the options you can set for simple-get. If there is a way to set a timeout without locally editing simple-get or node-canvas, please enlighten me. I was able to get around this issue by rewriting my code to load the images in a slightly different way, but I'd appreciate being able to set a timeout.

Environment

• Version of node-canvas: 2.11.2
• Environment: node 21.4.0 on Ubuntu Server
