How do I set a request timeout and cache policy in AFNetworking 2.0?

Question

I\'m following the given example code

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:@\"http://example.com/resour

The best is to create a subclass

(you can also the same way add cache policy)

TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer.h

#import "AFURLRequestSerialization.h"

@interface TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer : AFHTTPRequestSerializer

@property (nonatomic, assign) NSTimeInterval timeout;

- (id)initWithTimeout:(NSTimeInterval)timeout;

@end

TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer.m

#import "TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer.h"

@implementation TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer

- (id)initWithTimeout:(NSTimeInterval)timeout {

    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        self.timeout = timeout;
    }
    return self;

}

- (NSMutableURLRequest *)requestWithMethod:(NSString *)method
                                 URLString:(NSString *)URLString
                                parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters
                                     error:(NSError *__autoreleasing *)error
{
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [super requestWithMethod:method URLString:URLString parameters:parameters error:error];

    if (self.timeout > 0) {
        [request setTimeoutInterval:self.timeout];
    }
    return request;
}

@end

Use

self.requestOperationManager.requestSerializer = [[TimeoutAFHTTPRequestSerializer alloc] initWithTimeout:30];
