Which plugin does this impact:

• Connectivity

Version Number of Plugin: 2.1.2
Device Tested On:
Simulator Tested On:

Expected Behavior

It would be nice to do more than manually check if a remote host is reachable. The plugin should have a mechanism to require a remote host is reachable and in the event that the host is not reachable a ConnectivityChanged event or possibly a new event should be triggered. This would be helpful particularly for Enterprise Applications which may require connectivity to a private Api and the device may experience loss of connectivity to that host while still being connected to the internet.

Actual Behavior

This is a pretty cool idea, however I am not sure if there are actual APIs to monitor this. You would have to try to leave a constant socket open to the end point and pass data back and forth. If you have any ideas let me know, but I don't think it is possible across all platforms.
