Check for active inet-connection trough proxy WITH Timeout?

[neo van matix]

Hi,

i like to check our internet-connection. We've a proxy.

Now, my problem: I'm requesting the Size of the google-logo (inetgetsize()). That works... my problem: If there's no active internet connection, the script stocks for... 15-30 seconds.

It would be nice, if i could setup a timeout for inetget or inetgetsize,... but i cant :/

maybe, someone knows a solution?

Look at Ping()

To add a timeout just first ping the destination (google.com) with a timeout of say 250.

If this timeouts then don't do the inetgetsize().

ping google with 250 millisecond timeout
If no error then
    Inetgetsize()
Else
    No internet connection
Endif
