WiFi access with captive portal #29

Open washed opened 8 months ago

If we want to be able to connect the box hotel or other public WiFis, we will need some way for it to sign in using a captive portal. Unfortunately, this procedure is not very standardized, so my current idea to use some sort bounce around hacky way to transfer session cookies or similar from your logged in phone to the box.

There is some previous work on this topic, but it typically requires a serial connection to your pi or a secondary network connection.

This might be too hard to do properly.

That's actually a good workaround, but I wouldn't call it a solution :)
