[Wifidog] New features

Yes I ran a similar test overnight.

Logged in through wifidog, then closed all apps that generate traffic on
my machine.  I left tcpdump running.

Every 1 minute there's an ICMP ping (and reply from my pc) followed by
an arp who-is and arp is-at.  Worked for 6 hours straight.  In the
morning I was still logged-in.

I also tested my commit which I should mention here.  WiFiDog now
detects when it hasn't been able to talk to the auth server in a while,
and if it concludes that it is offline, captured users are shown an
apology telling them to try later instead of re-directing them to the
auth server.

That features seems to be partially working, partially not.

1. It works for newly captured, unauthenticated users
2. It doesn't work for already-authenticated users

That's probably because the decision is made in the 404 handler which
authenticated users don't go through.  I'll find a way to fix that,

|
| Seems to work for me!

| |
| | I hadn't tested much. I'll try to fix it, should not be too hard.

| | Something isn't quite right with that commit.
| |
| | When I go to a site, let's say "www.linux.org" and I'm
| unauthenticated,
| | the router redirects me to:
| |
| | https://auth.ilesansfil.org/login/?
| | gw_address=2.168.202.173&gw_port=2060&gw_id=default&url=http%3A//
| | www.linux.com/
| |
| | Notice the gw_address is messed up. In my case it should be
| | "192.168.202.1", not "2.168.202.173"
| |
| | Therefore after I authenticate and the auth server tries to
| redirect me
| | back to wifidog, it doesn't work since
| | http://2.168.202.173:2060/wifidog/auth?foo=bar....  goes nowhere
| |
| | The weird thing is, the IP address that got leased to me (the
| client)  is
| | "192.168.202.173", which is too similar to "2.168.202.173" to discount
| | the coincidence.
| |
| | I'll try to go through the code to find what's wrong, although I've
|  just
| | locked myself out of my remote box where the openwrt buildroot
| | environment was setup, so I won't be able to test it till tomorrow.
| |
| | Also note I just committed some stuff to CVS a while ago, so cvs
| update
| | before trying to fix anything.

| | | Changelog says it all:
| | |
| | | 2005-02-03 Philippe April <isf_lists at philippeapril.com>
| | |     * Ping the users everytime we check their counters, that way we
| | keep them alive
| | |     * Optional ExternalInterface
| | |     * Optional GatewayAddress (we discover it. finally.)
| | |     * We check for the traffic from the clients to the firewall, to
| | catch the traffic the icmp ping is generating
| | |     * Fixed bug where we were doing the opposite of what desired
| when
| | checking if authentication server was alive
| | |     * Bumped to alpha7
| | |
| | | I tested at home, but it needs more testing. If someone else can
| test
| | too, that'd be good.
| | |
| | | Cheers!
