py, is_url_connectable check for port , but just localhost url

[netzulo]

Meta - is_url_connectable check for port , but just localhost url

OS: any SO
Selenium Version: Python 3.12.0
Browser: any browser
Browser Version: doesn't apply

Expected Behavior -

Can check from utils package if an url is connectable to specific host (hostname or ip) with method is_url_connectable(port) adding new parameter host ?

or

¿Maybe rename method to is_port_connectable ?

Actual Behavior

Can't check from utils package if an url is connectable to specific host (hostname or ip) with method is_url_connectable(port)

Steps to reproduce -

I have 2 selenium GRIDs working, one at localhost and one at remote IP , why can't use this function to check boths grids, local and remote.

1. Go to original file here and check before to start testcase:

   selenium/py/selenium/webdriver/common/utils.py

   Lines 116 to 136 in d1f4f50

   	def is_url_connectable(port):
   	"""
   	Tries to connect to the HTTP server at /status path
   	and specified port to see if it responds successfully.
   	:Args:
   	- port - The port to connect.
   	"""
   	try:
   	from urllib import request as url_request
   	except ImportError:
   	import urllib2 as url_request
   	try:
   	res = url_request.urlopen("http://127.0.0.1:%s/status" % port)
   	if res.getcode() == 200:
   	return True
   	else:
   	return False
   	except Exception:
   	return False

2. Execute this testcase

>>> from selenium.webdriver.common.utils import is_url_connectable
>>> is_url_connectable("4444")
False
>>> is_url_connectable("http://ntz-qa.tk:11000")
False
>>> is_url_connectable(11000)
True

Notes:

• Tried to use find_connectable_ip but isn't working as expected too, so can't use to resolve my problem

>>> from selenium.webdriver.common.utils import find_connectable_ip
>>> find_connectable_ip("http://qalab.tk:11000")
>>> find_connectable_ip("http://qalab.tk")
>>> find_connectable_ip("http://qalab.tk", port=11000)
>>> # was expecting return ip here :(
