WiCap-PHP is a very simple captive portal for ''OpenBSD'' (tested on 3.5 and 3.7).
Currently it is maintained by CalebPhillips, although he may get busy and
abandon it like so many other projects
. This page will earn content as it
seems prudent, good to create it at any rate.

As of June, 2005, the most recent version is ''gamma''. As of November, 2005, the most recent version is ''delta''. I am making an interim release
which contains some bug fixes and will be the last stable release before ''epsilon''.

'''Features''':

  * Written in 'C' for speed and portability
  * (Experimental) Support for statistics-collection using RRDTool
  * Inspects the ARP table to evict inactive/bad leases
  * Intended to work with a change-rooted Apache

Although, his improvements made the "beta" version much better, ''gamma'' incorporates his changes, with one exception, ''gamma'' in still only
PHP and Perl, no Python. My rationale behind this is that Python is not installed with OpenBSD 3.7 by default, and adding it takes significant space,
since my Node is using a 256 MB Compact-Flash card for storage, this savings is needed. If you have Python installed, you may want to check out his
fork.

'''Limitations''':

  * Needs to be threaded so that leases actually expire (next version)
  * Should take advantage of pf's "tables" instead of "macros" (next version)
  * Some simple accounting and statistics would be cool (version after next)

BenjaminJencks rewrote the perl part of WiCap-PHP (version beta) in python, and made some cool improvements. Get his version here:
