Hmmm, I didn't realize legitimate portals might take you to the public Internet. It'd be nice to not show http://www.gnome.org (the test URL we load, expecting to be hijacked) if the portal decides not to redirect you to a new URI (not sure how common that is), but I think we will have to or we can't fix this.... > I think the UI should look like a real browser except that it should > clearly indicate that it's a "Log in to wireless network" browser in > addition to showing a standard URL bar. > > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749197 Can you please CC me on that bug?

The web view is a GtkWidget: you pack it like any other GtkWidget into your hierarchy, and put your own chrome around it. In this case, a URL bar would not make any sense since we don't want the user changing the URL; we'll probably want to display an unmodifiable URL alongside a security indicator. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
