 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

Trouble is a long answer, Content-Length: 426151, Content-Encoding: gzip. Uncompressed json length is 7024908.
This is my Vite proxy config:

proxy: {
    '/rest': {
        target: 'http://127.0.0.1:5959',
        proxyTimeout: 6000 * 60 * 1000,
        onProxyReq: (proxyReq, req) => req.setTimeout(6000 * 60 * 1000),
        keepalive: true
    }
}

Wireshark follow-http:

I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67462137/why-does-this-http-response-stream-yield-a-parsing-error
I guess Vite should handle this situation?

Vite 2 gives proxy error too, but it works and does not crash.
