Hi Norbert,I don't think so as that seems like a test one would use from outside the program to see if the server (my program) was available. I'm looking for a way for the server, my Seaside program, to see if IT has access to the internet and therefor the outside world has access to it.
Hi All,Maybe a little more of the big picture will help. I am making an IoT device, that will hopefully run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The user needs to somehow connect it to the internet. Probably to their local WiFi. Mine will control my sprinkler system and probably my garage door. The Seaside part is how the settings are changed. The setting control which pins/relays control the zones of the sprinkler system and the garage door. I will connect into the device as one would connect to any web site (with IP address and post) with a web browser.Because everyone's local WiFi has its own IP address and password, the user needs to supply that kind of info. I will be in files in the DOS formatted /boot/... folder. If that information isn't correct the Seaside part can't function as desired. I would like to know if things are setup correctly and if not do something that I haven't quite decided yet.

There will be no keyboard or monitor, the only access is via a web browser or the DOS formatted /boot folder. I would like a simple test to see if the system is connected to the internet. I'm not sure what I will do if not connected, probably log something. All ideas welcome. Thanks.Lou
