# UP7Connect
On the [Paris Diderot](http://www.univ-paris-diderot.fr/english/) campus,
there’s a a private WiFi hotspot. To get connected to the Internet, you must
connect your computer to the WiFi hotspot, then open a random page in a
browser, get redirected, accept the HTTPS warning, then enter your login &
password, submit a form, and you’re connected. *That’s pretty annoying*.
So, in March 2012, I wrote a Ruby script that automatically connects me to
the WiFi. I put it there because it could be useful for other students.
Note: this is one of the very first Ruby scripts I’ve ever written, so expect
ugly code :)
## Usage
```sh
ruby src/up7connect.rb
```
The first time it asks you for your login/password. It works on Ubuntu and
should work on macOS and other UNIX-like OSes.
