[Chilli] Hotspot Login on Mobile Phones

[Devinder Singh]

Hi Jos,

I had commented out the Java Script comment in coova.html  but the
hotspotlogin.cgi login page does not seems to be displayed on my Nokia
N95 mobile phone. what is see is the redirection logo when i launch my
phone browser and then i see a page error.

I get this error message :

Wireless Service Login Failed Login Must Be Performed through Hotspot daemon.

Btw i have also removed SSL on the hotspotlogin.cgi file to bypass SSL
and use http instead

Please could you let me know how can i allow users to login from their
mobile phones. I managed to get it to run on Windows Pocket PC.

Thanks

Devinder
