I have looked through the NSURLConnection class reference, the NSURLRequest class reference, the URL Loading System guide, queried Google, searched mailing list archives, and even looked through NSURLConnection.h, but can not find documentation about what happens when an NSURLConnection times out. I presume that -- for the asynchronous case -- the invoker's - connection:didFailWithError: selector will be messaged. Is this so? Where is that defined?

I think so, but I don't remember for sure. Why not try it? Set a timeout of 0.1 sec and send a request to a slow server.

(shhepishly): good suggestion. Have done so: yes, an error is the result with code 1001, which is defined in NSURLError.h as NSURLErrorTimedOut

But I haven't been able to find any documentation of what the possible errors are, and what the data would be for those reported failures.

NSURLError.h.

Sure enough -- there they are.

But in practice you can sometimes get errors from other domains too, especially if SSL is involved.

Well, logging will again be my friend :-)

The URL Loading System guide has an example that uses the key "NSErrorFailingURLStringKey" to access a value from the error object's userInfo dictionary. Where might other such keys be defined?

Tip: To see where a symbol is defined, hold down Command and double- click it. If you'd done that with that key, it would have taken you to NSURLError.h and answered part of your question.

Ah, I hadn't tried copying that symbol from the docs to Xcode in order to search for its definition -- that's a good idea that I will hold for the future.

Also, thanks for the Command-double-click tip -- I had been doing Option-click and then selecting "Jump to definition" from the contextual menu.
