// This implementation does not return the actual connection type but merely
// determines if the user is "online" (in which case it returns
// CONNECTION_UNKNOWN) or "offline" (and then it returns CONNECTION_NONE).
// This is challenging since the only thing we can test with certainty is
// whether a *particular* host is reachable.
//
// While we can't conclusively determine when a user is "online", we can at
// least reliably recognize some of the situtations when they are clearly
// "offline". For example, if the user's laptop is not plugged into an ethernet
// network and is not connected to any wireless networks, it must be offline.
//
// There are a number of different ways to implement this on Windows, each with
// their pros and cons. Here is a comparison of various techniques considered:
//
// (1) Use InternetGetConnectedState (wininet.dll). This function is really easy
// to use (literally a one-liner), and runs quickly. The drawback is it adds a
// dependency on the wininet DLL.
//
// (2) Enumerate all of the network interfaces using GetAdaptersAddresses
// (iphlpapi.dll), and assume we are "online" if there is at least one interface
// that is connected, and that interface is not a loopback or tunnel.
//
// Safari on Windows has a fairly simple implementation that does this:
// http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/platform/network/win/NetworkStateNotifierWin.cpp.
//
// Mozilla similarly uses this approach:
// http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.9.2/source/netwerk/system/win32/nsNotifyAddrListener.cpp
//
// The biggest drawback to this approach is it is quite complicated.
// WebKit's implementation for example doesn't seem to test for ICS gateways
// (internet connection sharing), whereas Mozilla's implementation has extra
// code to guess that.
//
// (3) The method used in this file comes from google talk, and is similar to
// method (2). The main difference is it enumerates the winsock namespace
// providers rather than the actual adapters.
//
// I ran some benchmarks comparing the performance of each on my Windows 7
// workstation. Here is what I found:
//   * Approach (1) was pretty much zero-cost after the initial call.
//   * Approach (2) took an average of 3.25 milliseconds to enumerate the
//     adapters.
//   * Approach (3) took an average of 0.8 ms to enumerate the providers.
//
// In terms of correctness, all three approaches were comparable for the simple
// experiments I ran... However none of them correctly returned "offline" when
// executing 'ipconfig /release'.
