Switch to or allow HTTPS for checking the internet is on.

• PlatformIO Core.

In platformio/platformio-core/http.py _internet_on method, HTTP port 80 is used to check if the internet is on:

platformio-core/platformio/http.py

Line 201 in 4230b22

s = socket.create_connection((host, 80))

I'm working with PlatformIO on networks where unencrypted traffic is heavily restricted. Even outbound traffic like web requests. So, HTTPS is very much preferred to HTTP.

Would it be possible to switch to using HTTPS hosts to check the internet is working? Or add one HTTPS host to the rotation?

Thanks for the report. Please re-test with pio upgrade --dev. Does it work now?
