In my case I have deleted the line
127.0.0.1 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

and all the new connections saved as automatic are not reverted to manual...

I must say sometimes I don't understand a thing of the Nokia N9 :-)

Thanks to everybody!

That is because the service is back online!

This let icd2 time out and close the WLAN connection!

It seems the secure version acts better but would fail as we do not have the right certs on device (and I guess icd2 does not use it at all):

Code:

~ $ wget --server-response --spider --header='X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test: true' --no-check-certificate https://connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

Has there been any progress with getting connectivity-test.ext hosted on maemo.org infra?

Nope. And I did not force it as I did not see the need to double a working service. Will try to push it a bit ...

Anyone else having trouble with the MS hosted connectivity-test service?
@ginggs, can you confirm my findings?

Yeah, I don't think we can relying on anything Microsoft-hosted.

Yes, it seems take a long time to respond, but if/when it does, it is the correct response.

I'm not using my N9 much these days, but I had to go back to a private server on my Symbian device due to it failing again.

So is there a working solution ATM?
I've tried the openrepos.net package as well as the method mentioned in post #68. None work for me.

Not trying to be pushy, just curious

Thank you all for your efforts!

What do your internet connection settings look like in the GConf repository?

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

Mine all look similar to the following, except for the 'type=GPRS' connection:

Code:

  /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>:
   http_check_status = no_login
   proxytype = NONE
   wlan_hidden = false
   wlan_security = WPA_PSK
   EAP_wpa_preshared_passphrase = <password>
   type = WLAN_INFRA
   autoconnect = true
   name = <connection name>
   wlan_ssid = <SSID in ASCII>
   EAP_wpa_preshared_key = <PSK in ASCII>
   ipv4_type = AUTO

Now I deleted and recreated all my network connections after connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com was working again.
I'm interested to see if a connection created while connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com was down, or connecting to a wifi hotspot with a landing page, is any different. In particular the keys I've highlighted in bold.
I suspect that once a connection is created and it has passed the connectivity test, these values are set and the connectivity is not tested for this connection again. If this is true, it should be possible to set these values for a connection created after connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com disappears forever.

A newly created wifi connection with connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com simulated to be down (pointing to 127.0.0.1) looks like this:

Code:

 /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>:
   http_check_status = unknown
   autoconnect = false

After changing the setting to 'use automatically', looks like this:

Code:

 /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>:
   http_check_status = unknown
   autoconnect = true

However, if connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com is still not available when the connection is established, it will revert to:

Code:

 /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<unique identifier>:
   http_check_status = unknown
   autoconnect = false

I suspect that if we can make http_check_status = no_login, we will not require connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com.
