Captive Portal?

I'm developing a WebServer for Espruino and would like to know if it's possible to set a Captive Portal.
I tryed listen on port 53 with http and net modules, and of course it turns out nothing since DNS runs over UDP.

There is any chance I can accomplish that in some other way?

Thx.

There is some code in progress to add UDP, so in the future yes.

By default when the ESP8266 is running STA (station mode), a DNS server is started, so I believe this would also need to be stopped - an option would need to be added

I'm brand new to Espruino/ESP8266 and I have a little IoT project in mind, and I've been googling mDNS and/or captive portal, and I ran across this - not sure if it's helpful in any way https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
