network manager + automation of http-login in wifi

The post will be short but very useful.

abstract: There are a lot of wifi hot spots that ask to do some stupid thing when connecting. Enter the password in the http-form, put the checkbox “I agree with the sale of the kidney in exchange for the Internet”, etc.

This is a bit of a nuisance, especially if it is periodically thrown out of wifi. This post offers a simple solution for automating login using Network Manager hooks.

Training

We need to understand where to whom how to send, so that it works. We put firebug or any other similar plugin. Turn it on, go to the 'net' tab, turn on persistent (this is important), log in.

We get this:



Find POST (if there are several of them - by brute force and combination), select copy as curl, save somewhere for the future.

Next we find the uuid of our connection - in the file / etc / NetworkManager / system-connections / our_wifi.

We write a script (everything below is from the root) in the /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory, for example, /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/02- our_wifi -auto

#! / Bin / bash
if [$ 2 == 'up '-a $ CONNECTION_UUID =' d2b76508-139e-4073-a921-61a0a7fec9df '];
then
echo `date`` logging to our_wifi '>> / var / log / our_wifi
curl' https://hautdebitmobile.orange.fr:8443/home/logon '-H' Cookie: JSESSIONID = E559B5201AA5B75B.aws5; JSESSIONID = E559B5201AA5B75B; owalang = en '-H' DNT: 1 '-H' Host: hautdebitmobile.orange.fr:8443 '-H' Content-Type: application / x-www-form- urlencoded '--data' username = {FKZDOBR & password = ZLEHFR & isCgu = on & hidden_isCgu = & tab = 3 & code = 0 & auth = 1 & restrictedCode = & restrictedProfile = 0 & restrictedRealm = ' 2> & 1 >> / var / log / our_wifi
fi

Replace it with bold with current data.

We do chmod + x /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/02- our_wifi -auto.

Voila

PS I would be very grateful for something like that for androids.

Pps as prompted in the mail, for the Moscow metro there is such a script: gitorious.org/vmetro-auth/vmetro-auth
