That is correct. Currently, there is no timeout whatsoever mechanism for external sources. If, at the first fetch, the resource is not available, your app will hang: this is though much better than hanging every time the external source is not available IMO :-)
Anyway, you may do a request for it, which would have to be planned, or try to add timeouts yourself, Regards Ard > > Hi Ard, > > What will happen if the resource is not available directly > after a restart?
