I know this is a golden oldie, but I can’t find a reference… I have a script
that wants to check a file on a server, and basically to do nothing if the
program is offline.
Remind me, is there an easy way to tell from within an LC standalone if the
internet is not accessible? I don’t want my program to hang. I understand the
URLStatus will eventually tell me if access did not occur, but I don’t
understand how to limit the waiting time to something reasonable. I notice that
some browsers can actually display a message saying something like “you are not
connected to the internet” - how do they do that?
I haven't actually played with it, but it looks like tsNetSetTimeouts
might work if you set the pConnectTimeoutMS (the third param) to
something shorter than the default. Then when you try to retrieve your
file when there is no connection, you should get an error from tsNet.
