How to determine Internet Connection in Cocoa?

I need to determine if Internet Connection is available or not. I don't care how it is connected (WI-FI, Lan,etc..) . I need to determine, is Internet Con开发者_C百科nection available at all .

P.S. I found a way to check WI-FI connection. But I don't care how it is connected (I need to check all the ways that can be connected to Internet).

Something like (isConnected)

This code works for both iOS and OSX platforms, I hope.

#include <SystemConfiguration/SystemConfiguration.h>
static BOOL isInternetConnection()
{
    BOOL returnValue = NO;

#ifdef TARGET_OS_MAC

    struct sockaddr zeroAddress;
    bzero(&zeroAddress, sizeof(zeroAddress));
    zeroAddress.sa_len = sizeof(zeroAddress);
    zeroAddress.sa_family = AF_INET;

    SCNetworkReachabilityRef reachabilityRef = SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(NULL, (const struct sockaddr*)&zeroAddress);


#elif TARGET_OS_IPHONE

    struct sockaddr_in address;
    size_t address_len = sizeof(address);
    memset(&address, 0, address_len);
    address.sin_len = address_len;
    address.sin_family = AF_INET;

    SCNetworkReachabilityRef reachabilityRef = SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress(NULL, (const struct sockaddr*)&address);

#endif

    if (reachabilityRef != NULL)
    {
        SCNetworkReachabilityFlags flags = 0;

        if(SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(reachabilityRef, &flags))
        {
            BOOL isReachable = ((flags & kSCNetworkFlagsReachable) != 0);
            BOOL connectionRequired = ((flags & kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired) != 0);
            returnValue = (isReachable && !connectionRequired) ? YES : NO;
        }

        CFRelease(reachabilityRef);
    }

    return returnValue;

}

Take a look at the SCNetworkReachability reference. This is a C API, so it's not as easy to use as a single method call, but it does a great job of notifying your app when a particular address becomes reachable or unreachable over the network.

The broad outline is you'll create an object with SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithAddress or SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithName, and then add it to the run loop with SCNetworkReachabilityScheduleWithRunLoop. When the reachability is determined and when it changes, the callback function you supply will be called. You can use that to update the state of your application.

Apple supplies an example app that shows how to use this (although it's designed for iOS, not Mac OS X)

One way to do it is :

// Check whether the user has internet
- (bool)hasInternet {
    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://www.google.com"];
    NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:5.0];
    BOOL connectedToInternet = NO;
    if ([NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil]) {
        connectedToInternet = YES;
    }
    //if (connectedToInternet)
        //NSLog(@"We Have Internet!");
    [request release];
    [url release];
    return connectedToInternet;
}
