If a wifi hotspot tries to redirect you to a login page, this can automatically fill it out.

wifi-watcher

This simple node app will frequently request a small web resource (on S3) to see if your HTTP requests are being redirected by a wifi hotspot.

If you get redirected, the app can try to detect which hotspot you're on and log in with the specified credentials.

To get it running:

1. Clone or otherwise download this repository:

    git clone git://github.com/brianshaler/wifi-watcher.git && cd wifi-watcher
    OR
    wget https://github.com/brianshaler/wifi-watcher/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip && cd wifi-watcher-master
   

2. Install npm (Node.js Package Manager) if you don't have it yet:

    sudo apt-get install npm
   

3. Install this app's dependencies:

    npm install
   

4. Then, run the app:

    node app.js
   

You can edit app.js to add rules for new wifi hotspots. Right now, it's set up to detect and log in on the wifi at Cartel Coffee in Tempe
