Need timeoutInterval setter of GTLService about google-api-objectivec-client

[GoogleCodeExporter]

And because of this forced minimum 240-second timeout problem on 
iOS(https://devforums.apple.com/message/108087#108087, 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736967/nsmutableurlrequest-not-obeying-my-ti
meoutinterval), can we implement our own timeout with NSTimer and 
NSURLConnection's cancel method?

Thanks.

You can set a timer and call cancelTicket: to implement your own timeout.

Yes. But one more thing we offer in the framework, one less thing thousands of 
devs need to do.

I don't think most apps should be setting a timeout at all. Users should be the 
ones to cancel requests. If the user isn't waiting on the fetch, there's no 
need for it to timeout.

If I setup my own timeout with NSTimer and cancelTicket:, I have to duplicate 
timeout handling code in two places: one in the query's completionHandler, one 
in my timeout callback.

If GTLService setups the timeout, it should naturally return the timeout as an 
error in the query's completionHandler, just as the real NSURLConnection 
timeout, then I only need to simply handle that in the completionHandler.

Unless additional developers indicate a need for this functionality, I do not 
expect it to be incorporated into the library.
