Hello everyone!
I have made a deep search on RevTalk solutions for checking the
Internet availability before executing an application requiring it.
There is often a rather long delay for returning the result when the
computer is not connected, unless the test is made ith IP addresses
instead of domain names. Thus, I tried a way using IP from well-known
websites such as Google, Yahoo, Apple, CNN, UN. The result is sent in
4-6 seconds. The best method, as I could test, is to use get url.
But I'm wondering if these IP are constant in time... The solution, to
me, is to use a series of 5 sites. If 1 is OK, then link exists...
What do you think about this solution?
get url "http://157.166.226.27";
if it is empty then
put false into varConnected
else
put true into varConnected
end if
