I am getting a timeout error even if there is no network connection. I am using Alamofire to send requests. I have seen there are ways to check network connection such as at How to use SCNetworkReachability in Swift but from what I read it is better to send the request rather than checking for a network connection before each one. My question is why is it throwing a timeout error even if there is no network connection? Is there a way to check between the two or should I just check network reachability if there is a timeout.
import Foundation
import Alamofire
var config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
var manager: SessionManager? = nil
var configured: Bool = false
let formatter = DateFormatter()
let postURL = URL(string: "http://httpbin.org/post")!
func postStatus(deviceID: String, status: Bool, latitude: Double, longitude: Double){
print("\nPosting")
if(!configured){
print("Configuring")
config.timeoutIntervalForResource = 4
config.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 4
manager = Alamofire.SessionManager(configuration: config)
configured = true
}else{
print("Configured\n")
}
let postData: [String: Any] = ["deviceID": deviceID, "status": 0, "lat": String(latitude), "long": String(longitude), "timestamp": getCurrentTime()]
manager?.request(postURL, method: HTTPMethod.post, parameters: postData, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { response in
guard response.result.error == nil else{
let error = response.result.error!
if let err = error as? URLError {
switch err.code {
case .notConnectedToInternet:
print("No Internet Connection")
case .timedOut:
print("Request Time Out")
case .networkConnectionLost:
print("Connection Lost")
default:
print("Default Error")
print(err)
}
}
return
}
guard let json = response.result.value as? [String: Any] else{
print("Didn't get a response")
print("Error: \(response.result.error ?? "Json Default Error" as! Error)")
return
}
print("Response From Server: \(json)")
})
}
