Implement RFC 7710 - Captive Portal URI DHCP option #274

Feature request #215

gufmar commented 8 years ago

Just to link (and read) the RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7710

It would be ok to have such an option. The question is if the 2+1 main mobile OS will support it

wlanmac commented 8 years ago

91 for reference.

Yes, RFC 7710 does not address notification. While it is useful for indicating configuration, it will likely only be useful in combination with a notification mechanism like https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-wkumari-capport-icmp-unreach-01.txt

Some dhcp server for linux that support this feature?

Spomky commented 8 years ago

@pinkra DNSMasq seems to support it (see https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1987199 - in French)

jobezic commented 8 years ago

Uhm.. it seems it doesn't have a full support... is it useful to have this feature in some case?

Spomky commented 8 years ago

This is a quite new RFC (was published by the end of the previous year). Servers and also clients have not yet implemented this feature and its use is somehow experimental.

If you think this is not a yet ready to be implemented in that project, then you could merge it into a next revision.
