I have removed the ping to 8.8.8.8 and replaced it with a network call to check for posthog availability.


Summary by cubic

Replaced the 8.8.8.8 ICMP ping with an HTTP check to https://posthog.com in is_online. This removes unnecessary network pings and checks the availability of the service we depend on.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a workspace dependency resolution for reqwest and changes the network connectivity check to accept a provided reqwest::Client and perform an HTTP GET to https://posthog.com/, returning true only for 2xx responses. Analytics now calls the updated signature with its client.

Calling unwrap() will panic if the Client build fails (e.g., invalid TLS config). A networking utility should not bring down the application on recoverable errors; bubble the error or return false instead.

🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
crates/network/src/lib.rs (4)

13-16: Consider HEAD instead of GET to minimize bandwidth and latency.

HEAD avoids downloading the response body; good fit for reachability checks.

-    match client.get(url).send().await {
+    match client.head(url).send().await {
         Ok(resp) if resp.status().is_success() => true,
         _ => false,
     }

4-17: Name/semantics mismatch: is_online now tests PostHog reachability, not general connectivity.

Confirm all call sites expect “PostHog is reachable” rather than “the device has internet.” If not, either rename (e.g., is_posthog_available) or add a short doc comment to clarify intent.

If you want, I can scan call sites and prepare a rename PR or add a concise doc comment that explains “Why” we tie the check to PostHog.


11-11: Promote URL to a module-level constant for reuse and clarity.

Minor nit to centralize the endpoint.

-    let url = "https://posthog.com/";
+    let url = POSTHOG_URL;

And add this at the top of the file:

const POSTHOG_URL: &str = "https://posthog.com/";

4-17: Optional: reuse a single reqwest Client to avoid rebuilding per call.

If is_online is called frequently, reuse a static client to leverage connection pooling and reduce DNS/TLS overhead.

Example (adds once_cell):

Cargo.toml:

  • once_cell.workspace = true (or a direct dependency)

Code:

use once_cell::sync::Lazy;
static CLIENT: Lazy<Client> = Lazy::new(|| {
    Client::builder()
        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(8))
        .build()
        .expect("reqwest client")
});

pub async fn is_online() -> bool {
    let url = POSTHOG_URL;
    match CLIENT.head(url).send().await {
        Ok(resp) if resp.status().is_success() => true,
        _ => false,
    }
}

7-8: Remove unused pinger and confirm TLS support for workspace reqwest

The pinger crate can be safely dropped—no references were found across the workspace. reqwest is correctly overridden by your root [workspace.dependencies] at version 0.12, but no TLS features are explicitly configured. Please verify that the default feature set meets your requirements, or adjust one of the following:

  • Enable the appropriate TLS backend under [workspace.dependencies] in the root Cargo.toml, for example:
    reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["rustls-tls"] }
  • Or declare reqwest as a direct dependency in crates/network/Cargo.toml with the needed features:
    [dependencies]
    reqwest = { workspace = true, features = ["rustls-tls"] }

1-2: LGTM on minimal, used imports.

Imports are tight and all used. No nits here.


5-8: Avoid panic on client construction (unwrap) — return false on failure.

A failed Client::build() will currently panic; prefer a safe early return to keep this library function non-fatal.

-    let client = Client::builder()
-        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(8))
-        .build()

23-24: Good change: reuse the existing reqwest client in the online check

Passing &self.client into hypr_network::is_online avoids building a fresh Client and reuses the connection pool. This aligns with prior feedback about client reuse.

crates/network/src/lib.rs (1)

1-8: HTTP-based availability check with injected client — LGTM

Switching from ICMP ping to an HTTP check and accepting a &reqwest::Client addresses previous concerns about client reuse and potential panics from client creation.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)

24-24: Skip the online check in debug builds to avoid unnecessary network I/O

You don’t send analytics in debug builds; avoid the preflight network call in that case.

Apply this diff:

-        if !hypr_network::is_online(&self.client).await {
+        if !cfg!(debug_assertions) && !hypr_network::is_online(&self.client).await {
             return Ok(());
         }

2-6: Target the ingestion host and bound latency with a short per-request timeout

If the intent is to check PostHog availability (not generic internet), prefer probing the same host used for event ingestion and ensure the call won’t hang indefinitely.

Two small tweaks:

  • Use the ingestion host (consistent with the sending endpoint in analytics).
  • Add a short per-request timeout to bound the wait.

Apply these diffs:

-    let url = "https://posthog.com/";
+    // Prefer checking the ingestion host to reflect the dependency we actually use.
+    let url = "https://us.i.posthog.com/";
-    match client.get(url).send().await {
+    match client
+        .get(url)
+        .timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(3))
+        .send()
+        .await
+    {
         Ok(resp) if resp.status().is_success() => true,
         _ => false,
     }

Note: If the goal is pure connectivity (reachability of the host), counting any HTTP response (even non-2xx) as “online” might reduce false negatives; if the goal is service health, a specific health endpoint (e.g., /health) that returns 2xx would be preferable. Confirm the intended semantics and adjust accordingly.

Would you like me to probe whether an explicit health endpoint on the ingestion host returns 2xx and is stable across environments?

23-24: No remaining is_online() calls without a client parameter
I ran a global search for bare is_online() invocations (rg -nP --type=rust '\bis_online\s*\(\s*\)') and found zero matches. All call sites now include the required &self.client argument.
