Hi, I'm wondering if I can use squid to emulate the setup many hotels/wifi
hotspots have where a user must go through an acceptance page before their
computer is allowed to access the Internet. That acceptance page can either
be a simple 'yes' button or the user must fill in a code of some sort.
I've been searching the web for several hours and I have only found one
reference to such a configuration; a brief exchange on this list in 2000
where the person asked if it could be done and someone else said it was not
possible.
Since that was seven years ago, I was wondering if a solution had been found
either using squid only or squid as part of a larger system of devices. Is
there a link to somewhere I've missed? I didn't see anything from a quick
scan of the documentation either....
We're having issues with a remote site doing things they shouldn't....
Thanks.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Check recent Squid source (anything in the 2.6 branch) for the session
helper.
