**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 18 02:59:58 2013 Mar 18 06:47:55 anyone looking into the captive portal notifications issue? Mar 18 06:48:36 seems some hp redirects are confusing the pre which thinks palm.com is a captive portal Mar 18 15:15:50 Robius, you have to be more specific Mar 18 18:12:57 ka6sox: what else would you like? Mar 18 18:24:24 sometime in Feb this year, webos devices started getting a captive portal notification just sitting on wifi w/ no portal Mar 18 18:25:26 it seems to be a remnant of webos trying to connect to its cloud for backups and whatnot, and one of the domains has changed or redirects so that the device thinks its a captive portal, when it isn't Mar 18 18:35:08 there is a patch to stop the notification, but not to fix the root cause of the issue Mar 18 18:40:35 I've noticed that on both wifi and wan Mar 18 18:42:00 my conjecture was that it tries to load something it knows is not a redirect (palm.com) and if there is one, displays what shows up Mar 18 18:44:36 now that you mention it, the notification message mentions wan Mar 18 18:45:18 but I've never been able to reproduce it reliably Mar 18 18:45:48 and it's infrequent enough that I didn't really feel like leaving tcpdump running on both interfaces until it happens Mar 18 18:46:03 but it does get pretty annoying sometimes Mar 18 18:53:24 Robius: can you link me to the patch? Mar 18 18:53:38 or rather, do you have a link handy? Mar 18 18:53:57 there is a list of sites webos checks in with in PmNetConfigManager Mar 18 18:54:17 it could be a round robin kind of thing failing on one Mar 18 18:54:20 patch is in preware Mar 18 18:54:43 thread http://forums.webosnation.com/webos-patches/277304-patch-request-disable-captive-portal-detected-wifi-webos-2-1-a.html Mar 18 18:56:10 ahh, k. so that just disables the notifications Mar 18 18:57:11 yep, GMMan did some tests with curl http://forums.webosnation.com/palm-pre-2/321635-captive-portal-suddenly-popping-up-everywhere-3.html#post3377693 Mar 18 18:57:47 gotta find the detection code and see where it fails, triggering the alert Mar 18 18:58:21 I believe the associated log is /var/log/carrierhotspot.log Mar 18 18:59:44 this also drains battery Mar 18 19:00:13 found my pre dead several times, way too quickly when it wasnt on the stone Mar 18 19:23:19 looking at some text strings from PmNetConfigManager, it looks like it might iterate through the mTestSiteList, if it completes 2+ of the requests, looks for html titles? perhaps just for reporting, but perhaps looking for redirects? Mar 18 19:25:21 right now it looks like of the 6 on the webos 2.1.0 list (google, developer.palm, hp.com, bing.com, palm.com, compaq.com)... google, hp, bing have no redirect, but developer.palm, palm and compaq redirect. I wonder if any of those changed recently? Mar 18 20:00:20 dwc-: compaq surely isnt needed Mar 18 20:00:32 paml sure changed Mar 18 22:00:32 but changed recently? like somewhere in feb? not sure Mar 18 22:04:30 changes in the palm.com domain services and cloud services in general. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 19 02:59:58 2013
