connected()
Description
Returns whether or not the client is connected. A client is considered connected if the connection has been closed but there is still unread data.
Syntax
client.connected()
Parameters
none
Returns
boolean – Returns true if the client is connected, false if not.
Example
/*
This sketch connects to a website through a GSM shield. Specifically,
this example downloads the URL "http://arduino.cc/" and prints it
to the Serial monitor.
