Should be trivial. Bitesize in case someone wants to implement it; it
might even already be in git master...

Title:
No way to make NetworkManager poll its connectivity URI on-demand
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
NetworkManager can poll a URI to confirm that it can really see the
internet (rather than a captive portal such as a hotel login page).
This is useful. However, it does not seem to be possible to tell NM
"poll your URI now, please"; you have to wait for the poll interval to
time-out first. If I know that it's worth checking now (for example,
that I've popped up a browser to allow signing in and that signing in
is complete) then it would be useful to be able to poke NM to say
"poll now (that is: pretend that the poll interval has just timed
out)".
