Alamofire ignores timeoutIntervalForRequest and timeoutIntervalForResource parameters

I am currently trying to decrease the default values for timeoutIntervalForRequest and timeoutIntervalForResource of NSURLSessionConfiguration for every Alamofire remote calls in my iOS app since I don't want it to wait 60 seconds and 7 days respectively.

This is my code:

Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.session.configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 30
Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.session.configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 30

let parameters = [
    "foo": [1,2,3],
    "bar": [
        "baz": "qux"
    ]
]

Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.request(.POST, "someURL", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON) {
    (response) in

    print(response.timeline)
}

This is my log:

Timeline: { "Latency": 60.977 secs, "Request Duration": 60.977 secs, "Serialization Duration": 0.000 secs, "Total Duration": 60.977 secs }

As you can see the Request Duration value is over 30 seconds.

Does this depends on the fact that I use Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.request instead of Alamofire.request?

I have opened an issue on the official Alamofire GitHub page and this was their opinion about that:

Changing the values of the configuration in a session that's already active has no effect. According to Apple's documentation on NSURLSession: Changing mutable values within the configuration object has no effect on the current session, but you can create a new session with the modified configuration object.

I suggest you create your manager instance and customize its configuration, as per our documentation.

I'm pretty sure it's because you can't change the configuration of the default Manager (or at least I don't think you can, might be a bug).

Try to instance a new one and add a customized NSURLSessionConfiguration.

ex:

var manager:Alamofire.Manager?

func initManager(timeoutInterval:Double) {
    let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()

    configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = timeoutInterval
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = timeoutInterval

    manager = Alamofire.Manager(configuration: configuration)
}

// then use manager!.request to do your request
