At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.
Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using
Code:
And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.
Literally, the process is
Code:
Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.
Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.
My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;
1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and
2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?
i just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....
I am getting the following in my Apache error file.
[Code]...
However, as soon as I did that and restarted Apache, Firefox displayed a page stating: Content Encoding Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. I have the following settings in my php.ini.
Code: zlib.output_compression = Off
how a date setting can change the compression setting?
I've installed CentOS 5.3+ xampp 1.7.2 (apache,proftpd and php5) +postgresql 8.4. And some strange errors appear from time to time, but can't reproduce it by wish. For example client opens a webpage on CentOS, the page can be open many times, but in some moment browser gives error as for non-existing page and when I check lampp's logs, there is only a record in error_log "[notice] child pid NNNN exit signal Segmentation fault (11)".
Or another example: client opens ssh-connection and ftp-connection. When ftp-connection got timed out and server closes it, ssh-connection unexpectedly gets closed the same moment without any errors in logs. And again it happens not everytime, but cannot be related to physical network because the same server on the same network with Fedora never had such errors. Possibly xampp-1.7.2 is not too compatible with CentOS 5.3? How to get more info from system in this case?
Ok so i have the tor browser bundle but when clicking start-tor-browser. I get : "Do you want to run "start-tor-browser", or display its content" ,"start-tor-browser" is an executable text file." So i click run but Vidalia doesn't start and nothing happens.
I'm using fedora 14. And I have installed apache, PHP and MySQL. I tried testing PHP with phpinfo(). But when I view it view my browser (localhost/test.php) it just shows the code itself instead of displaying the phpinfo page. This is the content of my test.php page.
I have been windows using for over years and now after seeing Linux in couple of colleagues desk, I liked and have installed Linux in my home desktop (Fedora 14). After installing Fedora 14, I tried upgrading my browser Firefox from 3.6.17 (which came by default) to Firefox 4.0. I googled and got the procedure for upgrading tirefox. from this link [URL]. I followed the exact steps and while I tried to install I get the following error. I tried enough to get rid of this problem but all attempts in vain.
The Error that I get is: [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install firefox4 Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora-firefox4. Please verify its path and try again

As you've probably found out if you searched for this on Google, the new FAFSA page [URL] does not allow any Linux browser access to financial aid forms. The solution I found is to install User Agent Switcher for Firefox [URL] and restart the browser. Right click a toolbar, like the navigation toolbar near the back button, and click 'Customize'. Find the User Agent Switcher icon and drag it to the toolbar. Now you can change the browser's identity by clicking the little globe on the toolbar and select, for example, Internet Explorer 8. You should now be able to get beyond the first page of the new FAFSA website.
Struggling to find right place to post, or for FAQs, or anything, because reading web browser is such a strain: can use Firefox v. happily in MS Windows, but, new to Linux and Fedora (14), I can't physically SEE where to start modifying appearance of either desktop or browser, which seem minute. I'm sure there's a really simple route if someone can just start me off.
Code: ~ $ /usr/java/jre1.6.0_25/bin/java -showversion Error occurred during initialization of VMjava/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
That's the error I get. When trying to run a java app with the firefox plugin, the browser simply crashes if it's the 64bit java or tells me it's not installed if it's the 32bit version.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. I think it has something to do with leftover gunk from a previous version I misinstalled(Is that even a word?) Anyway, the only thing that google could come up with was a solution for windows which laid blame on Bill Gates for having a bunch of pf (java prefetch) files stuffed into c:windows for no apparent reason. The solution was to delete them, but I can't seem to find the java prefetch folder in linux. The method I used is downloading the rpm from java.com the rpm2tgz then installpkg then cp libnpjp2.so to firefox plugins folder.
I have Chrome as my default browser, I also have FF 5 installed. If I click an html link form my desktop, or a separate program opens a web page, they always open in FF. I have seen this in older versions of Ubuntu also, 32 & 64 bit. What is the issue?
I am using Ubuntu 9.04. In Google Chrome (7.0.517.41 beta), Firefox (3.6.11) and Opera (10.63), links are not highlighting properly after clicking them. Either there is no difference, or they are so similar in colour as to be almost indistinguishable (dark blue and slightly darker blue).
(ubuntu 9.10 on Dell XPS m1530) Yesterday i shut down my (working) nicotine+ 1.2.12 and today it came up with a gray screen. When running it from the command prompt it gives following output.

When I click on an http link in Thunderbird, nothing at all happens. There's no error message on the console, there's no new browser starting, and there's no new tab opening with the browser already running.
I've tried: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser, choosing firefox.I've also tried: adding a new string value to Thunderbird's warranty-voiding config: network.protocol-handler.app.http, with a value of /usr/bin/firefox. This was recommended in various threads.But no luck.There's an entry for https - firefox on the Attachment tab of the preferences, and https links are indeed opening in Firefox. But not http.KDE 4.4.2 itself has default mail client and browser set to Thunderbird 3.0.4 and Firefox 3.6.3 (both from the repositories, no website downloads).
I'm trying to make some pages. For this I try to host them locally. However, when I have an error in my PHP code, the server shows an internal error 500 page and doesn't show on what line and what compile error it encountered. There is no such information in the error log either. What should I do about it, it's not really nice to comment all the lines and then try to uncomment them one by one. I've been googling for a while, but didn't find anything.. I forgot to mention, I;m using Fedora :P, the apache that came with it and mysql and php from the repository...
I've been having a common problem that most users get when trying to view .php files on a web browsers. I feel like I've tried everything including clearing the cache. This is the read what when typing this commands.

How can I configure apache2 to show the error message in the browser? Just for the purposes of debugging, I do not want to have to open the server error log every time.
I can't log to any page using Lynx browser, what I see is "403 Forbidden" message everywhere. I think it has sth to do with User-Agent field, I tried both "Lynx..." and "L_y_n_x...", but also "Opera", "Mozilla" etc., but that doesn't help. It could also be related to cookies, but I accept all cookies the browser asks me.
Fedora 14 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 I have a few webcams I want to serve to web browsers. I downloaded webcam-server, compiled and installed it. Running webcam_server with the -a (test) option, it appears to be doing something. But when I try viewing it with the included Java applet, I get a core dump from the webcam_server process and error messages from the viewing applet. I also cannot successfully view anything with a browser as described in the documentation.

I would like to open pdf files in a web browser window. I have installed mozplugger and xpdf, but it does not work , I have only blank, white screen. I installed Adobe PDF viewer, and it worked good, but I don't want to use bloated PDF viewer.
I have created a php page with only PHP Code: <? php echo "OK"; ?> in the code. When I go to that page in a browser, I get a blank page. Is that normal, or am I suppose to see the word "OK" displayed in a browser? When I became curious, I open up Wireshark to capture the packets, I see that my server is giving out a "HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error".
