I'd be a little wary of that "< 400" result though. You may (or may not)
want to follow redirects, and if you get a 418 you may want a cuppa <g>.
and due to the extra hops involved, I probably wouldn't try for
"https://www.google.com";. DNS resolution will add tens to over a hundred
milliseconds to a web command, so if you're going to go that route
instead of opening a socket I'd go straight to "http://8.8.8.8:53";.
curl -v --trace-time 8.8.8.8:53
20 milliseconds
curl -v --trace-time www.google.com
50 milliseconds
But otherwise, yes... there is no way of checking for the internet
without connecting to the internet.
