Jan 14, 2017 at 0:25 comment added Luis Mendo @Floris Nice to see you also here! Unfortunately ftp doesn's seem to work for that site
Jan 13, 2017 at 20:02 comment added Floris would this work with ftp instead of http - save another byte?

Jan 13, 2017 at 14:44 comment added Luis Mendo @StewieGriffin Thanks! Yes, I think urlread('http://g.gl') is valid (and is the same as my code does), as STDERR is ignored by default, and an empty STDOUT is falsy in MATLAB
Jan 13, 2017 at 14:41 comment added Stewie Griffin Would you consider urlread('http://g.gl') to be an OK answer by itself? It will error and leave the workspace empty if the connection is down. It will display an error message, but technically that's to STDERR...? I thought it was a bit of a stretch, so I did it this way. But skipping try seems to give the same result as your code, or? You leave the stack empty too don't you? Nice answer by the way... :)
