HTTP.TestConnection and HTTPS

[Drag]

Hi IR Forum, a simple question,
I'm wrong using this code assuming that Google is based on HTTPS?

connected = HTTP.TestConnection("http://www.google.com", 20, 80, nil, nil);

Have you some more reliable and simple way?
TNX!

IsConnected = HTTP.TestConnection("http://www.google.com", 20, 80, nil, nil); 
if (IsConnected == true) then 
Dialog.Message("Notice", "Internet connection was detected");
else
Dialog.Message("Notice", "No Internet connection was detected.");
end

Hi herrin, I already use that code.
My question is regarding HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS.

Does HTTP.TestConnection the job anyway or is there a dedicated HTTPS function?
I'm using Google and it is HTTPS.

-port 443 instead of 80
-to test HTTPS upload a small file on the site and use HTTP.DownloadSecure to retrieve it. (suggestion of ulrich)


yes it work

Thanks, I will try!

The sample project above still uses the built-in HTTP.TestConnection(). A more reliable way to check if there is a working internet connection is using Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI). Below is a sample script to redefine HTTP.TestConnection() using this feature. As vBulletin blocks mentions of the command line interpreter in the body of posts, the Lua script is inserted here as an image and attached as a zipped source.



Add the definition of the custom HTTP.TestConnection() to the globals of your project, and no other modifications to the script is required. If the function returns true, you have working DNS and internet connectivity.

Thank you Ulrich for this pro solution, I placed the script on Global and
The following on Page1 OnShow

if HTTP.TestConnection() == true then
   Page.Jump("Page2");
else
   Page.Jump("Page3");
end

It works very fine and very quick.

Only a question:
Will that file, that url, be deleted in the future?
