What is pinged?

I'm looking through the code but am a bit of a noobie. What is the host that is pinged to determine that there is internet connectivity? Where is the part of the code to look?

Hi @alexiskattan if you look into the HostPinger here: https://goo.gl/AAqqgG this is where it is used. You can actually supply your own host to ping but by default Merlin uses http://connectivitycheck.android.com/generate_204 as the endpoint which is found in Merlin here: https://goo.gl/cfts1X.

Ahh thanks.

I'm connecting a 4.4 device to WiFi, then unplugging the WiFi from the internet. When I click "Get Current Status" in the demo, I get "Connected".

Is this right? Should it say connected if it is connected to the wifi but not to the internet?
