Do you know if I can simply test if there is a WIFI local connection ? For example if the url 192.168.0.100 is reachable. I tried with the Reachability without success. It tells me that it is connected, but it is not true.
I would like first to test if there is a local WIFI connection, and then when I am sure there is a connection, launch that Web Service :
- (void)callWebService:(NSString *)url withBytes:(NSString *) bytes //GET
{
NSMutableURLRequest* request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
NSString *url_string = [bytes stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:[NSCharacterSet URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet]];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[url stringByAppendingString: url_string]]];
[request setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData];
[request setTimeoutInterval:timeOut];
NSURLConnection *connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self]; //try NSURLSession
[connection start];
}
Thanks in advance.
NSURLConection have many delegate methods. try one of the following:
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
[self.download_connection cancel]; // optional depend on what you want to achieve.
self.download_connection = nil; // optional
DDLogVerbose(@"Connection Failed with error: %@", [error description]);
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *) response;
NSInteger state = [httpResponse statusCode];
if (state >= 400 && state < 600)
{
// something wrong happen.
[self.download_connection cancel]; // optional
self.download_connection = nil; // optional
}
}
To test for internet connection you must employ Apple's Reachability. Check for reachability with the ReachableViaWiFi
enumeration.
Then you will need to do a ping of your server. In your didReceiveResponse
method you need to search for a successful reach of your server.
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *) response;
NSInteger status = [httpResponse statusCode];
if (status >= 200 && status <300)
{
// You are able to reach the server. Do something.
}
}

"I tried with the Reachability without success"
Did you happen to forget to notify reachability to startNotifier
?
Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostname:@"www.google.com"];
reachability.reachableBlock = ^(Reachability *reachability) {
NSLog(@"Network is reachable.");
};
reachability.unreachableBlock = ^(Reachability *reachability) {
NSLog(@"Network is unreachable.");
};
// Start Monitoring
[reachability startNotifier];
