HTTP Validator doctor check should report why a failed connection would cause issues #138354
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
- I have read the guide to filing a bug
Steps to reproduce
Behind a corporate firewall --
Run
flutter doctor -v
This will eventually timeout and report that https://cocoapods.org/ is not reachable.
But, why should it be reachable. This is not where the CocoaPods spec file exists? What is the significance of checking this URL.
Same might be said for https://cloud.google.com/
Actual results
Flutter Doctor reports
HTTP Host availability check is taking a long time...[!] HTTP Host Availability
✗ HTTP host "https://cocoapods.org/" is not reachable. Reason: An error occurred while checking the HTTP host:
Operation timed out
