It seems there is no way to customize a MKNetworkOperation request timeout. As far as I can see, it is hard coded to 30s but in some cases it is not sufficient. I understand your comment below, and you're probably right, but sometimes your client web service has some wakeup time that will require more than 30 second for the first replies. According to me this timeout should be easily customizable without the need to set the "Request-Timeout" header explicitly.

// if your server takes longer than 30 seconds to provide real data,
// you should hire a better server developer.
// on iOS (or any mobile device), 30 seconds is already considered high.
