[MeeGo-dev] Captive portals detection
Hi, Does anyone know how to detect a guest network as a captive portal. I mean can i detect a network as a CAPTIVE PORTAL through connman interfaces? So that i can fire a browser for html login authentication. I found a link http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578#c0 but i need more detailed information on it. Thanks in Advance Puneet Bisht ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev

So that the browser will first hit the login page. So try may be a couple of completely different known host name searches which should yield different IP address answers, if they give same answer, you're in login mode. -- Amit Bapat System Software Marketing Intel Corporation ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev

In case you are on captive portal, the service will be in READY state with LoginRequired=true. Only when in ONLINE state you don't have a captive portal. As of now meego is using connman 0.54, but for this use upgraded version of connman. Puneet Bisht ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
