Thank you, to all for the help with this, especially murat n konar. Who
provided a working version which enabled me to spot my errors.
As so often is the case, it was a simple misunderstanding of just what
this tool is for.
I was testing for "
http://www.ilike.co.nz/faq/"; when I should have been
looking for "www.ilike.co.nz". Just too focused on my goal.
Garbage in ...
So it would seem that if you want to know that a domain is accessible
then SCNetworkReachable is the way to go. Given that I know that the
domain is there the test is a bit redundant. (I still may have this
wrong) If you want to check for a particular page or folder at that
domain, I suspect that would require a live/forced connection.
This begs the question what exactly am I looking for again, "Does my
user have a functional internet connection, through which they can
browse or send e-mail, to a particular domain, if required?", I think
SCNetworkReachable reflects that, or I'll just have to force them
on-line and if that fails then ask them.
Thanks again, I think that's about as close as I can get. Hope this
helps those who follow.
Regards
Kevin Bracey
