GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 753362
Enhanced parsing of HTTP portal responses
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:21:01 UTC
Many portals put additional login information into the HTTP response of their capture page, which could be used by the shell to automatically log into the portal or to present a better username/password login window instead of a web browser. Unfortunately a mistaken git -dfx clean blew away the examples I had, but one notable one was the Westford Residence Inn which simply appends XML at the bottom of the HTTP response in keeping with the WISPR specifications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WISPr http://www.coova.org/node/4346 http://hotspot-connect.sourceforge.net/ https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/Dn408679.aspx Maybe some of this would help streamline the login process, but of course you can always fall back to just showing the mini-browser if the response cannot be parsed.
How would the data be passed from NM to the portal helper?
Dan, do you have the information requested in comment 1?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
