WiFi : Server class
available()
Description
Gets a client that is connected to the server and has data available for reading.  The connection persists when the returned client object goes out of scope; you can close it by calling client.stop().  
available() inherits from the Stream utility class.
Syntax
server.available()
Parameters
None
Returns
a Client object; if no Client has data available for reading, this object will evaluate to false in an if-statement 
Example
  #include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
char ssid[] = "Network";          //  your network SSID (name) 
char pass[] = "myPassword";   // your network password
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
WiFiServer server(80);
void setup() {
  // initialize serial:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Attempting to connect to WPA network...");
  Serial.print("SSID: ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
  if ( status != WL_CONNECTED) { 
    Serial.println("Couldn't get a wifi connection");
    while(true);
  } 
  else {
    server.begin();
    Serial.print("Connected to wifi. My address:");
    IPAddress myAddress = WiFi.localIP();
    Serial.println(myAddress);
  }
}
void loop() {
  // listen for incoming clients
  WiFiClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    if (client.connected()) {
      Serial.println("Connected to client");
    }
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
  }
}
