OWLoadTimeout

[craigin]

How do I apply the new hidden default 'OWLoadTimeout' for OminiWeb 5.5? In the terminal, I tried this:

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 "OWLoadTimeout" -int 60

but I don't think it worked.

Thanks.

The timeout is not a max time to load but a check performed after some amount of inactivity. In our tests, setting it to 10 caused Apple's load process to error out after about 27 seconds for a page where the server could be contacted but the script returning the page waited 90 sec before sending its reply. We know that something is happening because setting the timeout to 2min did allow the 90sec delay page to load.

We don't know Apple's exact mechanism here--we just set the timeout value on the NSURLRequest.
