I’m struggling setting wifi for my new Raspberry Pi3 running Raspbian Stretch headless. I need to setup wlan0 to connect to a free hotspot that requires a specific login/passwd http POST sequence that can be done via wget.

The sample setup I’ve found was based on a NetworkManager/dispatcher.d shell script – but this does not seem recommended (supported?) on Raspbian/Stretch.

I’ve found another reference with pre-up, post-up & post-down statements in the interfaces file – which I understand should now stay almost empty…

Any advice on how to invoke a login script when the interface goes up? Or more generally, how to configure Wifi on public hotspot that require specific login sequence.

Thanks for any help/advice

I am using puppeteer for this purpose. It is based on nodesjs and provides a javascript interface to control Chromium. It also supports a headless operation.

If you install puppeteer it will automatically install chromium. Unfortunately it will install an x86 version which will not run on raspberry.

So you have to do some additional steps which can be retrieved from
