jQuery ajax (jsonp) ignores a timeout and doesn"t fire the error event

Hey fellow jQuery lovers,

To add some basic error handling, I wanted to rewrite a piece of code that used jQuery's $.getJSON to pull in some photo's from Flickr. The reason for doing this is that $.getJSON doesn't provide error handling or work with timeouts.

NSURLConnection timeout?

I'm using this NSURLConnection with delegates.

nsconnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request

    delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
