Title:
Detect captive WiFi hotspots
Status in Canonical System Image:
Confirmed
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Right now it is very annoying that when you connect to a captive wifi
portal, the device does not detect that. All other devices open the
log in page automatically, except ubuntu devices. One needs to
manually open the browser, type a url and get redirected before being
able to log in and start e.g. telegram messaging over the wifi
connection.
My proposed solution to solve this:
When a WiFi connection is established, indicator-network should do a http GET
call to ubuntu.com. If the reply turns out to be a redirect, it should open the
browser with the redirect url.
