Summary0000815: iPhone 3.0 / iPod touch Captive Portal Network Support User Agents
DescriptionNoticed a lot of Users Agents of the type

CaptiveNetworkSupport-94.1 wispr
CaptiveNetworkSupport/1.0 wispr
etc.

A little googling releaved:
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/31/66812-iphone-3-0-wireless-captive-portal-support.html [^]

We should look if we want to ban these User Agent strings at the httpd level, use them to detect iPhones / iPods or leverage their goal.

To know this we'll have to investigate at what this does exactly.

Those ipods things are certainly not behaving in a friendly manner on our captive portal.

In some cases, a few hundred hits by this CaptiveNetworkSupport useragent on our captive portal over a 3 minute period. This, combined with the slowness of our user web pages, creates a situation where the server is unusually loaded.

Increasing priority.

Implemented the basic redirection piece. Feel free to file another ticket if you want support for more of the spec.
