Detect WiFi hotspot login page and open an embedded browser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use WiFi hotspots that have login pages quite often and always forget to
login through the browser before trying to use Mobbler.

If there is someway of detecting that the access point that has been
connected to is an un-logged in WiFi hotspot then we should open an
embedded browser so that the user can log in.

At the moment we just download the html of the login page and think it is
the reply to an authentication with Last.fm.  The authentication fails and
shows you a bit of the html.

I had this problem for a while but now I use devicescape 
http://www.devicescape.com/

I'm able to log into my work WiFi, BTOpenzone while out & about & my home wifi 
when
at home with it. all you need to do is download, sign up & set up your hotspot
accounts & set mobbler to connect to the devicescape or Easy Wi-Fi access 
point. it
will even log you automaticaly into free hotspots as & when you find them, ie
macdonnalds etc.
