Check if internet connection availabile in swift [duplicate]

Answer 1

Using Babatunde's code sample but here is an updated version for Swift 2.0 and error handling: EDIT: Also changed the URL for Google as HTTPS for iOS 9. EDIT2: Original article: http://www.brianjcoleman.com/tutorial-check-for-internet-connection-in-swift/

import Foundation
import SystemConfiguration

public class Reachability {

    // Check if internet connection is available

    class func isConnectedToNetwork() -> Bool {

        var status:Bool = false

        let url = NSURL(string: "https://google.com")
        let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!)
        request.HTTPMethod = "HEAD"
        request.cachePolicy = NSURLRequestCachePolicy.ReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData
        request.timeoutInterval = 10.0

        var response:NSURLResponse?

        do {
            let _ = try NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response) as NSData?
        }
        catch let error as NSError {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }

        if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse {
            if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 {
                status = true
            }
        }
        return status
   }
}
