i mean literally http web cookies from the portal page. if you ignore the network login app (as was the case before it worked reliably), it shows up in your normal browser. This does remember cookies, so you don't get asked if you want to accept cookies every time you go there.
What the portal does when it's presented with the cookie it gave you on your last visit is, i think, a matter for the portal. My guess is that it's probably *it* that would auto-connect you under whatever circumstances it sees fit. Otherwise you just get the normal "Click to connect" button. I think *all* this needs is the support for, and storage of, HTTP cookies from the portal, in whatever's providing the browser window component of the Network Login app. My talk of auto-login stuff was just confusing the matter, ignore it. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818517 Title: "Network Login" browser does not remember cookies Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is with respect to the gnome-shell-portal-helper, part of the gnome-shell package, which opens its own browser window to prompt for a wifi hotspot login. It all works fine except one little papercut: Could it remember cookies? So when I go back to the same hotspot most days I don't have to click OK to accept cookies every time before I can actually click to go online. It's possible I suppose they don't all use cookies. The hotspot in question is a BT wifi hotspot, so probably quite common in GB anyway. Desired behaviour, hate to say, is like Windows: It actually remembered my choice from before and just logged me in right away.
