NSURLRequest Timeout IOS

Question

I need to set timeout 15sec or 30 sec with UIRequest, but it always takes default one. Is there any way to set minimum timeout to connection.

Answer 1

There seems to be a problem with setting the timeout interval property at construction time:

NSMutableURLRequest* request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:240.0];

Instead set it AFTER construction:

request.timeoutInterval = 70;

Also note that there seem to be some limitations to how low you can set the interval. Read this post for more information: https://devforums.apple.com/message/108087#108087
