is there any way to set request/read/write timeout with ktor client for ios?

[Jonas Bark]

you'd have to write your own client implementation, you may base that on
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-client/ktor-client-ios/src/io/ktor/client/engine/ios/IosClientEngine.kt

[Jonas Bark]

haven't been able to do that successfully, because of
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/658
and https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0A974TJ9/p1539786019000100

so seems like we need to wait for ktor update :S

Why not use timeout for call by 'withTimeout(millis) { }` ?

[Jonas Bark]

will that actually cancel the URLSession? I don't see such functionality in https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/master/ktor-client/ktor-client-ios/src/io/ktor/client/engine/ios/IosClientEngine.kt

[Jonas Bark]

or in other words, I don't see timeoutInterval being set on the nativeRequest

[cy]

Cancelling a call (due to timeout) should cause it to close everything. Not sure if it works as intended on ios

[coletz]

on iOS I am actually getting a timeout after about 1/2 minutes (hadn't measured it). I know that the problem is related to the backend, but that's impossible to speed the process up since it's not controlled by me. So I need to remove the timeout at all

[coletz]

(I think the timeout is setted at 60s, that is the default value)

[Jonas Bark]

looks like the error I mentioned is resolved with beta-2

[coletz]

yes!
