[Bug 1967947] Re: WiFi will not connect to open WiFi with complicated re-direct

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
We are simple volunteers here on the Ubuntu-docs project. We have no
clue how to help you and/or change the documentation in such a way as to
help you. We wish we could. I suggest you ask a question on
askubuntu.com or on ubuntu forums.

Title:
  WiFi will not connect to open WiFi with complicated re-direct

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am at a Marriott Hotel and cannot connect to the open WiFi on
  Ubuntu20.  The re-direct url they are using is complicated and the
  usual tricks (which one does not have to use to connect using Windows,
  Macs or Android) including http://<gateway-ip>, etc. do not work.

  The redirect looks like (note the use of JavaScript to accomplish the
  redirect also note the fact that I have typed this into a computer
  that does have an internet connection):

  <HTML>
  <HEAD><TITLE>Redirecting...</TITLE>
  <meta http-equiv="no-cache">
  <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
  </HEAD><BODY>
  <SPAN STYLE="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
  </SPAN>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  document.location.href="https://bwiam.cust.blueprintrf.com:8001/index.php?zone=guest&redirurl=https%3A%2F%2F52.1.100.109%2F;
  </SCRIPT>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>

  Even when I paste this curl-obtained content into "connect-
  marriott.html" and then open in Chrome or FireFox, I do not get an
  internet connection.  Chrome seems to make it a little farther than
  FireFox as the title bar changes to:
  "https://bwiam.cust.blueprintrf.com:8001/index.php?zone=guest&redirurl=https%3A%2F%2F52.1.100.109%2F";

  Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS

  network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.3

  Expected to happen: seamlessly taken to network usage agreement page
  on open Wi-Fi network.

  What happened instead:  Wi-Fi connected, but cannot reach the
  internet.  IPv4, IPv6 and DNS properly assigned via DCHP, just no
  passage through gateway.
