Load local file if no internet connection; function calls itself again and again

Question

This is my code, explanation is below:

func webViewDidStartLoad(homewebview: UIWebView) {

    if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork() == true {
        print("Internet connection: OK")

    } else {
        print("Internet connection: FAILED")

        let path: String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("file", ofType: "html")!
        let url: NSURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(path)
        let request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
        homewebview.loadRequest(request)
    }
}

When clicking a hyperlink webViewDidStartLoad will called.

When there's an internet connection it prints Internet connection: OK.

When there's no internet connection it should print Internet connection: FAILED and open file.html.

But when opening the local file it calls the whole function again, and again and again…like a never ending loop.

I want to check for internet connection when clicking a (hyper)link in the WebView. If there's no internet connection a local file should load in this WebView, without calling the function again.

How can I fix it? Does anybody have an idea?

Just rise a flag when you are loading a local page to skip the recursive routine.

var loadingLoacalPage = false
//..//
func webViewDidStartLoad(homewebview: UIWebView) {
        if Reachability.isConnectedToNetwork() == true {
            print("Internet connection: OK")

        } else {
            print("Internet connection: FAILED")

            let alert = UIAlertView(title: "No internet connection", message: "Check internet connection.", delegate: nil, cancelButtonTitle: "Okay")
            alert.show()

            if(!loadingLoacalPage){

            let path: String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("file", ofType: "html")!
            let url: NSURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(path)
            let request: NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
            homewebview.loadRequest(request)

            loadingLoacalPage = true

        }
    }
}
