Use threads to speed up connectivity check #576

Closed orende closed 1 year ago

orende commented 1 year ago

Description

Adds a ThreadPoolExecutor to the api.can_connect function in order to send the requests to embed.gog.com and auth.gog.com from separate threads. This lowers the worst case execution time from 10 seconds to 5 seconds, which is noticeable on slow connections.
