timeout interval option for http request

[tchukuchuk]

Hi

I need for a project to have a timeout greater then 1min (default timeout for NSMutableURLRequest).

Regards,

Julien

Have you tried using the existing timeout functionality? Elevate knows what request it's waiting on, and aborts it automatically.

[tchukuchuk]

Yes, but after some tests it doesn't work.

[mattgreen]

That makes sense; you want the request to go longer than one minute, rather than having the task's timeout take a certain amount of time, right?

[tchukuchuk]

Yes. I have to manage with huge JSON data and it can take a lot of time to be generated...

[mattgreen]

OK, that's perfectly reasonable. I hope your server is using async I/O though :).

I'd be glad to merge this if you changed the option name to request_timeout to differentiate it from the regular timeout option.

I'm interested by async i/o if you have some documentation :)
