Internet-Connection-Test

-This was just a test app.

The section of the app in which I was researching for was the following lines.

std::string urlx = "http://192.168.0.10:21845";
bool bConnect = InternetCheckConnectionA(urlx.c_str(), FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0);
if (bConnect) { msgOut = "True"; }

Which evolved into the following.

#pragma region "Test conectivity"
	bool WeHaveInternetConnection(std::string host, std::string port) {
		std::string urlx = "http://"; 
		urlx += host;
		urlx += ":";
		urlx += port;

		DWORD dwStart = GetTickCount();
		bool bConnect = InternetCheckConnectionA(urlx.c_str(), FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0);
		DWORD dwEnd = GetTickCount();
		dwPingTime = (dwEnd - dwStart);
		return bConnect;
	}
#pragma endregion

If you opted to use the BasicBench.h heres the following

#pragma region "Test conectivity"
	bool WeHaveInternetConnection(std::string host, std::string port) {
		BasicBench timetest;

		std::string urlx = "http://"; 
		urlx += host;
		urlx += ":";
		urlx += port;

		bool bConnect = InternetCheckConnectionA(urlx.c_str(), FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0);

		return bConnect; //once this function ends the BasicBench will print out to console the time in ms it took to complete.
	}
#pragma endregion
