#89937 Hi,

I like to run some esp8288 with some custemizing or controles in AP mode.
To make it easyer to use I like to use the captive portal function to make the access easyer for the user.
So the after connecting the captive portal will pop up e.g. on Iphone and it shows only one link like "open on Browser".

I already learnd that the portal app is only let you use a link to e.g. safari if the server sends a webpage like:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>
but I was not able to find a way how this is possible.

Does somebody already managed that on a ESP8266. I already tryed to analyse pages from T-Online or vodafone where this is possible, but without an succsess.

#90076 There is no "captive portal" in the ESP NON-OS SDK, nor in one of the compilation tools.

So I think you are referring to arduino or something similar. That is NOT what were discussing here.

Moved topic to general.

#90092 Captive Portal is part of the of the ESP8266 in the Arduino IDE
Examples -> DNSServer->Captive Portal.
the Captive Portal is workin fine for me.
On IOS and andriod the Captive Portal is alwasy open in a kind of mini Browser where not all functions are active.
What I like to achive is to create a link inside my Captive Portal that is opend up in the normal browser.

Captive portal is part of the Arduino IDE for ESP8266. It's the other way around. So please go and ask in the Arduino section. There is little ESP8266 specific here.
