requestWithURL hanging when network is down

Hi!

  I'm testing requestWithURL with the following call:

  [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:MY_URL]
               cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData
            timeoutInterval:30.0]

  The problem is that, if I turn off my ADSL modem, the program stays
in this call forever. It does not respect the 30 seconds timeout. Is
this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

  Yours
