[Touch-packages] [Bug 1561657] Re: not all captive portals work
I don’t travel that much, but the few occasions I tested it in the past it worked as intended (last time was several months ago though, the platform has evolved a lot since then, and it’s not impossible that this particular functionality has regressed). In my experience, captive portals will redirect you to their login page if you browse to a plain HTTP URL. Browsing to an HTTPS URL won’t do the redirection. And usually pages like e.g. google.com get you HTTPS by default. So you might want to try a page for which you’re sure there won’t be encryption (try e.g. http://example.org), just in case that’s where the issue lies. Marking incomplete for now, more information to help the understand the issue better is welcome. ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561657 Title: not all captive portals work Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It has happened to me that many captive portals don't work with my phone; as in it doesn't even offer me the chance to enter the login details.

@julia I think we will need more details on this, it may be more on the wifi AP setup side where the issues lie fwiw I have accessed all such portals the past few months without problems, in my experience you need to open a new tab and enter a new address request to trigger the proper behavior. ** Also affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561657 Title: not all captive portals work Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It has happened to me that many captive portals don't work with my phone; as in it doesn't even offer me the chance to enter the login details.
