   My hatred for captive portals is bottomless.

     ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

     The name that keeps coming up for this is ArubaOS. I'm guessing their HTML is just shit.

     @splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network If they worked most of the time it wouldn't bother me. But these establishments (hotels, airport terminals, etc.) provide WiFi connections that don't work because their captive portal setups are broken. They probably spend tons of money having some professionals install and configure their building-wide managed WiFi mesh network but thereafter never think to have anyone maintain it or periodically check up on it---somewhere down the line, things break, and they remain broken indefinitely.
     
     If you're going to provide or implement something, do it right and make sure it works. If you're not willing to do that, don't even offer it in the first place. I'd rather there not even be a public WiFi network to begin vs. one that you spend time trying to connect to, only to be slapped with 403 errors, some timeout message, "we're unable to process your request", ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, etc..
