Whats the reason that if i unplug my internet cable it still returns ERROR_SUCCESS and prints out "Internet available...
Ps i should have posted it in the networking forum. Feel free to deplace it, thanks!Code:#include <cstdio> #include <windows.h> #include <wininet.h> int main() { if(InternetAttemptConnect(0) == ERROR_SUCCESS) printf("\nInternet available...\n"); else printf("Internet unavailable.\n"); return 0; }

Not sure. MSDN doesn't provide much detail about how it works. If you're using router and only disconnecting it from the line going out to the internet that might make sense, as your computer would still be able to detect it's IP address, causing InternetAttemptConnect to assume there is a connection. At any rate, there are probably other ways to do this. You could first check that you have an active IP address other than the loop-back, and if so, attempt to open a socket with the destination set to that IP address. I haven't tested it out though, but I'm pretty sure it'd work.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
Thanks Sebastiani!
Not much use for this function then.

It is weird that it takes an unused parameter, though. Is that for future compatibility, or current undocumented usage?

Same story with InternetOpen(). Cant check if its NULL.Code:hInternet = InternetOpen(NULL, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, NULL,0); if(hInternet == NULL)printf("Internet unavailable.\n");

Probably neither. The argument isn't referenced XP through 7 except to check against 0, and given that the function is mainly intended for dial-up usage (going by the remarks), probably never will be. But who knows.It is weird that it takes an unused parameter, though. Is that for future compatibility, or current undocumented usage?
InternetOpen and InternetConnect just set up state, no attempts are made until HttpSendRequest or an equivalent is called. I use InternetCheckConnection with a url and the FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION flag to check connectedness, and it seems to work correctly.Same story with InternetOpen(). Cant check if its NULL.
