Of course, such functionality would be kinda cool. I could imagine it like this: a) user connects to open network with web interface for username and password; b) NetworkManager detects it, and offers to enter username and password and remembers it using gnome-keyring; c) Next time it logins automatically; It would request to use libsoup propably for entering user data in actual page. Also detection of such page could require some smart hacks, but I think it is doable.
