CFNetDiagnostic bug with dial-up connection?
We are using CFNetDiagnosticCopyNetworkStatusPassively to check for network
availability in update checkers for our apps, before downloading the update
info or the update itself. However a user reported a problem with a dial-up
connection: it always seems to give the message " This computer's Internet
connection appears to be offline.", while the dial-up connection is OK. BTW,
this is the message returned in CFNetDiagnosticCopyNetworkStatusPassively
for status kCFNetDiagnosticConnectionDown. Strangely, the Network
Diagnostics app report no problem.
So this seems to be a problem, because the
CFNetDiagnosticCopyNetworkStatusPassively function and Network
Diagnostics.app are giving conflicting status.
Would anyone on this list know more about this problem?
Thank,
Christiaan
