NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora-0.9.10.0-4.git20140704.fc21.x86_64

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-fedora.conf 
[connectivity]
uri=http://fedoraproject.org/static/hotspot.txt
response=OK
interval=300

HTTPS should be used instead, as even if the content of the file is uninteresting (ha!) there is metadata about the user's system in the request, such as the user-agent.

Comment 2 Dan Winship 2014-09-08 13:54:15 UTC 
The request NM sends does not have a User-Agent. It's just:

  GET /static/hotspot.txt
  Host: fedoraproject.org
Comment 3 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 17:15:26 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.
