hi guys, I'm trying to implement a retry on http request timeout on my IOS apps, i've set the timeout interval as the code below



the problem is, i tested the interval by connecting my iPhone to a 3g hotspot, then turning off the 3g and initiate the curl request and here's the result that i logged



as you can see from the log time, the interval between retries is 4-5 secs apart and not 10 secs.. although this is acceptable for me, i'd like to know, why and where is the 4-5 sec limit set, i've googled around and couldn't find an answer to this. is it default to the NSURLRequest class? do apple enforce 4-5 sec retries on no internet? why is it like that? help guys, any answer is appreciated.
