Not really. Android uses connectivitycheck.gstatic.com since 6.0 or something (not www :)). For example, see: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/b7c2487c8b5fbd154643b8ddade8d88507cae137 But more to the point, https was added at some point and turned on by default: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/c5be12e7ac43cbe8c68219fa702c6fb7f06183c3 - same server though. -- Debian Developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev | Ubuntu Core Developer | When replying, only quote what is necessary, and write each reply directly below the part(s) it pertains to ('inline').
