"Wirewall" authentication not possible #79

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What version of the product are you using?
bunjalloo 0.7.1

Please provide any additional information below.
My wireless network requires "wirewall" authentication (this is commonly 
seen at airports and malls.)  This means that it is possible to connect to 
an access point, but impossible to ping anything outside the access point 
until the user has authenticated via a web browser.  (In this case, the 
authentication medium is a cgi script where the user must type a name and 
password, then click on a button to submit the credentials.)

With bunjalloo, I can connect to the access point and load the 
authentication page -- but when I try to submit my credentials, nothing 
happens.  I think it's because of the submission method?  Is bunjalloo able 
to process cgi requests?

Thanks,
Jay

Web browsing on the DS would be awesome, but my main interest is simply in 
authenticating to the wireless network.

If I could just submit my credentials successfully, I know I could use Nintendo 
WFC.  
It works with the official Opera browser (which I don't have.)

Maybe it uses javascript? Does firefox with the noscript plugin allow 
authentication?

Couple things:
1) The wirewall page has changed since I filed this bug report
2) I never tested bunjalloo on any other wirewalls
3) I don't have a DS anymore

Considering 1) and 2), it's possible that the issue was unique to this 
particular 
wirewall.  Since no one else has commented, and considering 3), I would say 
that 
it's reasonable to close the issue entirely.  If someone else experiences a 
similar 
issue, they will have a DS and thus can do further testing.

Thanks for the response, though.  And for the awesome browser!
