psp browser fails- how to do http login to use wifi?

Post by nullstring »

on my campus wifi, you need to login via http in order to be allowed access to the internet.

both the psp browser and links2 browser fails to be able to do this. I am in search of an alternative method...

I've investigated a few methods... including peejay, lua, psplinux (to run perl or other scripts), writing my own app

peejay- no network support
lua- no network support to my knowledge and probably no libraries to do this sort of thing
psplinux- no network support
my own app- seems like alot of work.

So, to get to my question, does anyone else see any better way for me to try to login. I was thinking I could use curl and the pspsdk...
but before I do this.. I want to make sure there isn't a better way.

Just figure out why the psp browser is failing.
It's probably just mishandling the HTML login page.
Find out what the proper GET/POST request is to give yourself access, then just make a small local page that sends that request to the right place, and browse to it locally.
