BTW, If your request doesn't require some resources your program doesn't
posess (like uploading some user-specified file), you could just retry the
very request which needs the Internet connection you are waiting for.

I.e. instead of constantly sending HEAD's just try to send your GET/POST and
don't tell the user anything (well, maybe some little unobtrusive status
message), if curl_easy_perform returns CURLE_CONNECTION_FAILED or related,
and disturb the user only on grave matters.

Something like that:

while ((rc = curl_easy_perform(curl)) != CURLE_OK)
{
    switch (rc)
    {
        case CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT:
        case CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST:
        case CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY:
            break;
        default:
            fprintf(stderr, "Request failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(rc));
            exit(1);
    }
}

fprintf(stderr, "Done\n");

Sincerely,
Nick
