Ping Webservice (to validate active connection) #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Most WIFI spots are unsecured but require you login (or pay be Credit Card)
before they let you access the internet. You only ever find out by
connecting to the network and trying to get somewhere on the net.

Would be great if the application could "ping" at the http layer to
validate an active connection - maybe an echo webservice or a static site
(to validate the response). it can then say if the wifi network is truly open

Anyway, keep up the good work.
