I use a "baby face" method where the goal is to be
sure they are talking to our own servers

put a file your web site:

ping.txt

put the word "true" into that file

then it is as simple as :

on testConnection
   if not ((url "http://www.himalayanacademy.com/ping.txt")= "true") then
        answer "Please log in to the internet and try again." with "OK"
  end if
end testConnection


I see a lot of "macho" solutions but I never understood, at least in our
context (wanting to be sure our users can access our servers) why  there
is any need for more than this.
