Internet connection ok?

[Alberto]

Hi,
How to test if the internet connection is ok?
Thanks

Hmmm, what do you mean with "ok"?

Speed, stability or the simple fact that a connection is open?

I doubt that there is a simple solution for the first two options, but the third can be tested easily, I guess.

How about requesting the HEADER from a site you know, that should be available? Like Google.

If you get a response, it would tell you that you are online. You could even parse the Date and Time to be really sure.

But do not ask how to ..... ;
