BT WiFi Maintain Connectivity Script

README.md

BT WiFi Maintain Connectivity Script

Usage

btauth --user USER_OR_EMAIL --pass PASSWORD # To Authenticate with the BT WiFi
btmaintain --user USER_OR_EMAIL --pass PASSWORD # To maintain a connection and re-authenticate automatically
nohup btmaintain --user USER_OR_EMAIL --pass PASSWORD 2>&1 >/dev/null & # Same as above but ran in background

This will check whether you lost connectivity by pinging google.com every 1 second. If you are not it will check whether the SSL certificate of google.com had been replaced with a BT WiFi certificate and re-authenticate you via btauth.

Installation

Download or copy both scripts to /usr/local/bin and give them execute permissions:

mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
curl -sSL https://goo.gl/2gto0U > /usr/local/bin/btauth
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/btauth
curl -sSL https://goo.gl/07sNF1 > /usr/local/bin/btmaintain
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/btmaintain

The only thing clever about my script was the way it checked whether your session has expired. Other than that it's just making an HTTP request. Anyway. Have a nice evening and good luck.

You were right, the form had changed and by inspecting the webpage it could be seen that the login url was different for BT WIFI. BT broadband logins still use 'https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/tbbLogon' however there was a new URL: 'https://www.btwifi.com:8443/ante' for the BT Wifi logins. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.
