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

This answer explains about the minimum value of timeoutInterval of an NSURLRequest object. If you need a smaller value, then you may do so with starting an NSTimer with the desired time and in the firing method of the timer, you cancel the connection of your NSURLConnection object. As in:

//....
connection = [[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self] retain];
[request release];

[connection start];

if (timer == NULL) {

    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: TimeOutSecond
                                             target: self
                                           selector: @selector(cancelURLConnection:)
                                           userInfo: nil 
                                            repeats: NO];
    [timer retain];
}


- (void)cancelURLConnection:(NSTimer *)timerP {
    [connection cancel]; //NSURLConnection object
    NSLog(@"Connection timeout.");
    [timer invalidate];
}
