OverviewExamples
Checks whether the user is connected to the Internet.
Note: The default proxy settings that are currently configured through Internet Explorer will be used for testing the connection by default, and is the recommended method. However if you require alternate proxy settings, they can be passed through the ProxyData parameter.
Tip: If this action fails, you can retrieve specific HTTP error details using HTTP.GetHTTPErrorInfo.
(string) The full URL to use to check the Internet connection. The action will attempt to connect to this URL in order to determine if a connection is available.
Note: If the URL involves redirection, the initial connection will indicate success, and the redirected URL will not be connected to.
(number) The maximum time in seconds that the action will wait for a response after attempting to connect. The default value is 20.
Note: Timeout values are interpreted in multiple ways during client server communication. As a result the actual timeout used by the connection may differ from the value specified.
(number) The port to connect to. In most cases the default value of 80 is fine.
(table) A table containing basic HTTP authentication information that can be used to gain access to the site. (This parameter is optional. If the site does not require HTTP authentication, just leave this parameter blank.) The table is indexed by the following keys:
|
KEY |
TYPE |
DESCRIPTION |
|
UserName |
string |
The user name to be used during HTTP authentication. |
|
Password |
string |
The password to be used during HTTP authentication. |
(table) A table containing the user's proxy information. You can pass nil (the default) to use the default proxy settings that are currently configured through Internet Explorer (recommended), or pass a table of specific proxy settings. (You may need to gather this information from the user.)
The table is indexed by the following keys:
|
KEY |
TYPE |
DESCRIPTION |
|
PUserName |
string |
The proxy user name. |
|
PPassword |
string |
The proxy password. |
|
PServerAddress |

(boolean) True if the URL could be connected to, or false if it could not or an error occurs. You can use Application.GetLastError to determine whether this action failed, and why.
