Hi Sriram,

I am the Gecko dev for Captive portal on Firefox OS. The information of "network requires captive portal login" is only available after user connects to that wifi network. I've provide a GAIA prototype that can receiving the notification about the existence of captive portal and delegate to Browser app for displaying login page. You can take a look at the modification in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780793 .

Hi ,

I am the GAIA dev for Captive portal , i have a few questions on how to proceed 
,


As an initial step i would like to have wireless networks show up (on my B2G 
desktop), i would also like to know how to differentiate between normal 
wireless networks and networks that require captive portal to signin


I have looked into the exiting gaia code at apps/settings/js/wifi.js

  var req = gWifiManager.getNetworks(); // line-285

  Is there mock data that could use to get a list of the networks on the UI ? 
if so where do i get them and how do i use them ?
  i see this call in the JS , i need to know what it returns and what is the 
data that it returns and identify the networks that require opening a 
authentication window on the browser . Is there any attribute i should be 
looking for ?
Also , will the url to post authentication username/password be available in 
the same call ?(I will ask more questions on what data would be returned after 
success/failure after this)

Thanks
Sriram
