Some hotels require that the user signs on to the network before they can access anything on the internet<br />
<br />
Our company uses a proxy server, which means that users that wish to get on the internet at a hotel, have to first connect to our VPN. They are unable to do this most of the time since they have not yet signed on. <br />
<br />
Currently our solution requires that the user accesses a fake address ie (&quot;199.199.199.199&quot;) which we configure in the network settings to bypass the proxy server. When the address is called upon the hotel signon screen appears since the hotel sees the computer trying to access the internet. They can then signon and continue to log onto VPN. We want to automate this process. Is there anyway to script a program that will check to see if a signon page is required?

Script or code to check if hotel uses a signon page

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
