The common trick is to use HTCPCP or such and having a endpoint which answers in a "known" way other than 200 OK to verify _real_ network access, and not just some wifi paywall impersonating everything. If eg. GET http://the-server/are-you-a-teepot answers 418 I'm a teapot your pretty shure you have _real_ network access. You can play other tricks with x509 certs but there are corporate envs playing tricks with such to. (Not that there probably are that many subsurface users in such envs...) //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
