Public bug reported: I am at a Marriott Hotel and cannot connect to the open WiFi on Ubuntu20. The re-direct url they are using is complicated and the usual tricks (which one does not have to use to connect using Windows, Macs or Android) including http://<gateway-ip>, etc. do not work.
The redirect looks like (note the use of JavaScript to accomplish the redirect also note the fact that I have typed this into a computer that does have an internet connection): <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Redirecting...</TITLE> <meta http-equiv="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT"> </HEAD><BODY> <SPAN STYLE="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> </SPAN> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> document.location.href="https://bwiam.cust.blueprintrf.com:8001/index.php?zone=guest&redirurl=https%3A%2F%2F52.1.100.109%2F; </SCRIPT> </BODY> </HTML> Even when I paste this curl-obtained content into "connect- marriott.html" and then open in Chrome or FireFox, I do not get an internet connection. Chrome seems to make it a little farther than FireFox as the title bar changes to: "https://bwiam.cust.blueprintrf.com:8001/index.php?zone=guest&redirurl=https%3A%2F%2F52.1.100.109%2F"; Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.3 Expected to happen: seamlessly taken to network usage agreement page on open Wi-Fi network. What happened instead: Wi-Fi connected, but cannot reach the internet. IPv4, IPv6 and DNS properly assigned via DCHP, just no passage through gateway. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1967947 Title: WiFi will not connect to open WiFi with complicated re-direct To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1967947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
