Hello All,

 

I have a netduino 1 plus and I just started working on a project which requires me to run a web server on the netduino. Currently I am using the web server code from here: http://forums.netdui...ted-web-server/ which works great btw! Great job! Ok back to my question, im looking to add splash page functionality to the web server, does anyone have any idea on how to achieve this?

 

Thanks ahead of time!

Can you define a 'splash page'? Something like an AJAX window that takes focus from the page? Or simply a static HTML page that loads once on first view? This will probably require a cookie to track return visits.

Im looking for something like what hotels have, when the user connects to wifi it forces them to a page where they have to enter a password to continue to surf the web.

So you are looking to build an authentication page, not a splash page.  In otherwords you want people to have to login to the netduino?

I'm not sure, but I don't think that you have to specify this feature in your netduino code.

The more I think this has to do with your network and the used routers / switches. I'm pretty sure you have to configure them, so they send you to a specific page to authenticate... I'm not that sure.

Have you already googled?

The Wifi hotspot software I've worked with use 2 network cards and turns the PC into a 'router' or proxy, so I would say you need additional hardware other than the netduino to make this happen.
