Hello,
I'm using Eric Czarny's XML-RPC framework for my iPhone app. There is an XMLRPCRequest class which contains an NSMutableURLRequest object. I wanted to set it's timeout to say 10 or 20 seconds, however regardless of that I always measure a timeout of about 75 seconds. Now according to this post, the standard timeout for POST requests is 240 seconds and this overrides any timeout you specify in your code. Where do the 75 seconds come from? Another user from an Apple Dev forum measured 75 seconds too.
