Iphone – Timeout a ASIHTTP request

asihttprequestiphone

I'm using the ASIHTTPRequest library to request some data from a server in my iPhone app. But i cannot figure out how to create a timeout so that if the server goes down or the iPhone doesnt have internet connection the app doesnt crash.

Thanks in advance

EDIT>>>

tt.Kilew your code doesnt work… I posted a bit of sample code 

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"A URL WITH A FORM"];
ASIFormDataRequest *requestPOST = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[requestPOST setPostValue:un forKey:@"username"];
[requestPOST setPostValue:pw forKey:@"password"];           
[requestPOST setPostValue:@"Login" forKey:@"submit"];
[requestPOST start];

[requestPOST setTimeOutSeconds:10];

NSLog(@"Fail: %@", [requestPOST failWithError:ASIRequestTimedOutError]);

Best Answer

[request setTimeOutSeconds:10];

Update with more code: 

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"A URL WITH A FORM"];
ASIFormDataRequest *requestPOST = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[requestPOST setPostValue:un forKey:@"username"];
[requestPOST setPostValue:pw forKey:@"password"];           
[requestPOST setPostValue:@"Login" forKey:@"submit"];
[requestPOST setTimeOutSeconds:10];
[requestPOST setDelegate:self]
[requestPOST startAsynchronous];

Failed handler:

- (void)requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request {
    NSError *error = [request error];
    if ([error isKindOfClass:[ASIRequestTimedOutError class]]) {
        // Actions specific to timeout
    }
}

Success handler:

- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
   // Use when fetching text data
   NSString *responseString = [request responseString];

   // Use when fetching binary data
   NSData *responseData = [request responseData];

   // Do something with the response.
}
