Hi

My antivirus blocks ping requests when I'm not in a trusted zone, and I can't disable it (Pretty stupid eset folks), there's any other alternative to check if a website is online?

 

Thanks in advance

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.
C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Don't know if is possible to make something like this using autoit code

Just a curiosity, how long does it take to use the two methods in comparison to each other? Also, how short of a time span are you attempting to reach if you're only checking to see if a site is up or not? I can't imagine that either method is going to severely impact the script if you're checking for something like that. After all a ping takes time to complete too.

Microsoft has a tcp ping tool too https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/jj729731.aspx

this uses icmp https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hb7xxkfx%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

@Brew my worst enemy is timeouts, functions usually don't have them :s

I think 1390ms of difference is something :)

Like I said, even 1.4 seconds isn't a long time to wait if you're not doing anything else with the script at the time. The time difference would only be a problem if 1.4 seconds makes any difference at all to your running script. Seeing as how I have no idea why you need to find out if a site is up or not it's impossible for me to know if that would make any kind of difference to your script.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I made a script that extracts those hosters links, usually takes 200-400ms to do it in one link, but since I changed some firewall rules on my eset I can't revert back ICMP blocking in non trusted zones, so I needed an alternative to icmp :)

EDIT: TCPNameToIP has timeout issues and noanasd.com (made up name)

Opt("TCPTimeout",200) ;200ms timeout
TCPStartup()
ConsoleWrite(TCPing("noanasd.com")&@LF)
TCPShutdown()
Exit

returns 0.0798532747264897  :think:
