Bug ID: 365417
Summary: Portal login handler request
Product: plasma-nm
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: lu...@kde.org

I hope I am posting this in an appropriate spot. I apologize if not.
One thing that we need is a portal login handler for networks that require you
to sign in or agree to terms & agreements to access a wireless (or wired)
network. The GNOME desktop and macOS currently have this feature where if a
captive portal login is detected, it will display the information for you to
interact with so that you can continue to access the network.
My current solution for this problem has been to use my MacBook to display a
captive portal URL, type that into my web browser's URL bar and then I can get
network access. I think this feature should be considered to be added and
backported to older versions of plasma5 as logging into public networks can
more often than not be impossible to access with KDE
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a browser to pull up captive portal
Actual Results:
Can't get captive portal login to access public network
Expected Results:
I think it would be nice to have a pop up window like GNOME and macOS do so
that you can accept the login requirements to connect to a public network
