Is http://www.archlinux.org/check_network_status.txt down?

NetworkManger checks http://www.archlinux.org/check_network_status.txt to see if the computer is connected to the Internet.

This url is specified by default in:

/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf

It doesn't seem to be working for me.

Running

nmcli networking connectivity

returns limited, even if I am connected to the Internet.

I have a script that depends on the networking status. I will change the url, but thought this issue was worth raising here first.

Is it worth filing a bug report?

File a bug report - my guess is that page never got transferred to the new servers.

Check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=229189
It is fixed with curl package that is currently in testing.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's problem. A bug report does indeed need filing.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

And you're absolutely wrong, I hope you're not the one responsible for someone filing this duplicate: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55205

http://... serves that network connectivity file, but your browser redirects it via HSTS even though it isn't served over HTTPS. Nevertheless, it is absolutely trivial to see that it is indeed available via curl or from networkmanager, as evidenced by the fact that it freaking works with the curl in testing.

(Do you really think that had that url not worked at all, that anyone, ever, would have it working in any sense whatsoever in order to report that "yes, thank you the new curl in testing worked for me"?)

Re: Is http://www.archlinux.org/check_network_status.txt down?

Is this related to the repeated connectivity time out messages in journal (using NetworkManager)?

Aug 23 15:18:23 arch-ebunker NetworkManager[545]: <info>  [1503526703.3058] connectivity: (enp4s0) timed out

like clockwork every 5 minutes or intervals divisible by 5 minutes. Rolling back NetworkManager doesn't change it. Disabling nm-dispatcher service doesn't either (but does stop the dbus nm-dispatcher errors that coincide with the time out errors). It's present in the lts kernel also. Started after last syu (kernel, systemd, and NetworkManager) - or do I need to look elsewhere? The network is working (file sharing) but Firefox, Chromium, and Chrome are all delaying on resolving host 5 - 15 seconds when opening new tabs. Modem, router, switches and cables are all good, two Windows machines, and two Android devices and one other device on same lan are experiencing no issues.

Considering that the central theme of this thread is this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55195

Either upgrade to curl 7.55.1-2 in the testing repositories and verify that it fixes your issue, or verify that it *doesn't* fix your issue and open a new thread about your new issue.

Either upgrade to curl 7.55.1-2 in the testing repositories and verify that it fixes your issue, or verify that it *doesn't* fix your issue and open a new thread about your new issue.

I tried two things:
1. tested a different url in 20-connectivity.conf, re-enabled, started nm-dispatcher, restarted NetworkManager, results = no more timeout messages nor nm-dispatcher complaints (connectivity was always full though unlike OP), but internet still 8- 15s to resolve host when opening web browser or opening new links etc.
2. reset 20-connectivity.conf to original and installed curl 7.55.1-2 from testing repository, rebooted and results = same as test #1, so will look into the resolve host surfing delays later...
thanks!
