OK, I think I have a workaround although I’m not sure whether it is a good 
solution or not.

If I include the line...

tsNetLibUrlReuseConnection false

...in my preopenstack handler then the delay/hang seems to disappear – i.e. I 
get an almost immediate response if the url isn’t available. I’m not at all 
sure what this achieves but it seems that a new connection that can’t connect 
doesn’t experience the same problem as an existing connection that was 
previously successful.

Anyway, panic averted for now but any insights into the best way to deal with 
this stuff would be appreciated.

    OK – I have a bit of a serious issue on iOS where if I lose wifi 
connectivity the first attempt to get data from a url causes problems.
    
    I’m attempting to upload a file to Dropbox (that stuff all works fine) and 
I do an initial test to see whether the device is online (by trying to access a 
url). If it is I proceed with the upload, if not I just save a local copy of 
the file. Anyway, the first time I do the test the request seems to take 
forever (minutes?) – which I don’t have (I need the request to be completed 
within a few seconds). The second time around is ok though.
    
    Any ideas on how I prevent this initial ‘hang’. Is it possible to set a 
shorter timeout or something?
