** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 914507 Feature Request: special Browser window for logging in to WiFi Hotspots -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571522 Title: Detect captive WiFi hotspots Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Right now it is very annoying that when you connect to a captive wifi portal, the device does not detect that. All other devices open the log in page automatically, except ubuntu devices. One needs to manually open the browser, type a url and get redirected before being able to log in and start e.g. telegram messaging over the wifi connection. My proposed solution to solve this: When a WiFi connection is established, indicator-network should do a http GET call to ubuntu.com. If the reply turns out to be a redirect, it should open the browser with the redirect url.
