Hi There

We have just encountered the exact same problem with the new 60 second timeout,
introduced by an upgrade to Mac OS.  This has caused a show stopping bug in a
critical application using the Adobe AIR framework as an RIA.  As an RIA is not
a conventional web application, we feel that the arguments about long running
processes are not valid, and in fact our customer relies upon long running
tasks for everyday operation. 

At the very least, we would expect to be able to configure the timeout on
XMLHttpRequest at our whim for particular (especially synchronous) requests
where we expect long running events.   

We understand that you consider 40 minutes as too long, so do we !  However 5 -
10 minutes is not an uncommon wait time for complex database processing and
analysis. 

By the way, we tried it asynchronously and the same "feature" is still evident.
 Can we have a fix or a workaround please to avoid serious refactoring /
rewriting of our code.

Thanks a lot


Mark Robertshaw
