PORestKit Timeout Being ignored
text
Body
copied!<p>I am calling a webservice from my iOS app which can take up to four minutes to return. I am using RestKit for the call and loading of the objects. What I'm finding is that when the requests are taking a long time, I get a Timeout error after ~60 seconds. I have tried setting the timeoutInterval to absurd amounts but it still times out after ~60. </p> <pre><code>RKObjectManager* objectManager = [RKObjectManager objectManagerWithBaseURL:HOSTNAME]; objectManager.client.requestQueue.showsNetworkActivityIndicatorWhenBusy = YES; objectManager.client.disableCertificateValidation = YES; //timeout objectManager.client.timeoutInterval = 1000; </code></pre> <p>Here is the call to the service:</p> <pre><code>- (void)loadData { NSString *uid = [self retrieveFromUserDefaults:@"login_preference"]; NSString *pwd = [self retrieveFromUserDefaults:@"password_preference"]; if([uid isEqualToString:@""] || [pwd isEqualToString:@""]){ [self stopSpinner]; [self enableUserInterface:YES]; UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Missing Settings" message:@"Please enter your login information in the settings." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil]; [alert show]; return; } RKObjectManager* objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager]; NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:uid, pwd, nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"uid", @"pwd", nil]]; // Load the object model via RestKit [objectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[@"/synchData" appendQueryParams:params] delegate:self]; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>I'm doing the call to the webservice in a background thread - is there something in that design that could be causing the problem? I can't imagine what, like iOS not letting background threads run for longer than 60 seconds? I just can't figure out what is the problem. </p> <p>Is the timeout the time it takes to get a response from the server, or to get the WHOLE response from the server? I am returning a potentially very large json response - do I need to return the whole thing within the timeout limit, or do I just need to get any response from the server within the limit? </p>
