Hi All,
I noticed a couple of posts related to the new iPhone v3 OS. None seemed
to be directly related to preventing safari doing "wifi login mode" on a
captive portal - so a new thread.
1) 'Google' says install the Boingo App. I haven't tried this (and it's not
feasible to get all the users to do this IMHO).
2) This works for me:
* Ensure www.apple.com DNS resolves to your captive portal web server.
* Have the web server serve the following HTML from this url:
http://captiveportal.com/library/test/success.html
-
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Success</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Success
</BODY>
</HTML>
-
i.e. so when the iPhone tests for internet connectivity by asking for:
http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html
it will ''work'' on your captive portal (so login mode is not triggered).
e.g: <http://www.wireless.bris.ac.uk/library/test/success.html>
Regards,
James
