Re: Check for internet connection

If the internet connection is closed, then the following exception is
generated from within GetResponse(), before I can check
HttpWebResponse.StatusCode:
System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: The remote
name could not be resolved.

I would like determine if an internet connection is available before
calling GetResponse() and potentially generating an exception, e.g. for
dial up users.
