Re: requestWithURL hanging when network is down

Hi!

  I think it never returns. The app still runs (windows move, a 
Progress Indicator keeps spinning, etc) but it never returns from the 
requestWithURL call.

  What's strange is that I use the exact same call somewhere else (in a 
background thread) and it works... when the timeout fires, the call 
returns. But on the main thread, it seams like it never returns.

  Yours
