getCurrrentConnectionType for Windows may not be accurate for some locked down corporate networks

Bug Report

Problem

I am not sure if you want to consider this a bug, as perhaps my use case is a bit out of the ordinary, but thought would just bring to light.

For now, I have called the Windows API directly to get around this.

Running on a more "locked down" corporate network, getCurrrentConnectionType() would return NONE for windows when trying to get to a local server (ie server on the same network)

Seems only to be Windows, the problem occurs, Have not tried iOS yet, but Android appear ok.

What is expected to happen?

Would like this to report the connected network

What does actually happen?

getCurrrentConnectionType returns NONE

Information

In my case, the call to profile.getNetworkConnectivityLevel(); was returning NetworkConnectivityLevel.LocalAccess, but if I did a http call anyway, it worked fine

Command or Code

Environment, Platform, Device

A locked down corporate network that probably did not allow outside network access, but in this case the server is located on the local network
