OK, I think I have resolved the issue above with some research on this forum. I changed the last IF statement to the following:
Code:
...
return ((isReachable && !needsConnection) || nonWiFi) ?
(([[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:[NSURLRequest
requestWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/"]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:20.0]
delegate:self]) ? YES : NO) : NO;
...
What (I think) its doing is after it tests for reachability, it requests data from a www site using NSURLConnection, which makes the iPhone search for connections. Sorry for my non-technical explanations
EDIT: I changed the cache policy to not pull from the local cache so that it looks for the page every time. In my code, I also am not using apple.com as the request URL. I put up a simple html page on my server with the word 'true' in it and I am requesting that page for the connection testing. Keeping the request small might help the load time, even if you are doing nothing with the requested data. Even a 404 returns something.
