Title: iPad WiFi Bug
#4
Thanks for the quick response.

OK, iNavx is timing out after precisely 30 seconds, measured carefully. A "few minutes" was very imprecise--sorry.

The NOAA website is, at times, taking longer than 30 seconds to respond in my iPad's browser, even to display the user agreement page (which is just text). All other websites that I have tested are working fine, including other .gov domains.

Perhaps some sort of traffic shaping is at play, since I have tried 4-5 different providers. I am out of the country at the moment. No idea why cellular data works flawlessly (the opposite to what you would expect).

Firewall IP is supposed to optionally block outgoing connections. Either it is not doing so, or else iNavx is genuinely not initiating packet traffic.

Given the results of the browser test, I am doubtful that Firewall IP is working as advertised. Instead, it seems like iNavX is often timing out before the NOAA server can respond.

It seems like a longer timeout (or a user settable one) would be a good idea. Is there a place I can change the network timeout?
