ping is ICMP packets, usually blocked by many contextes (qemu user, VPNs, company networks). Also, maybe servers would have a wrong date and fail the https handshake. This is not what we aim to test here. Relying on simple HTTP is more reliable. Co-authored-by: ljf (zamentur) <zamentur@users.noreply.github.com>
