Actually the captive DNS portion was never merged out of my own play
branch in CVS until I iron out some bugs with netfilter and conntrack.

In the newer versions (beta3 or current CVS) the message is clear that
it's from WiFiDog (alone with the color scheme et cetera :)

|
| Mina can you do something to allow direct HTTP request to the router's IP
| address ?
|
| And by the way, can someone write a nice message in french and english ?

Hmm. For some reason your http traffic was re-directed to wifidog when
you tried to access port 80 on the router (as opposed to *through* the
router).

That should not have happened.  I'll look into the rules.
