# @BayernWLAN login with ESP

This repository contains two example how to log in to the captive portal of `@BayernWLAN` wifi networks using an ESP.

Normally after connecting to the network you would click the connect button in the captive portal of your browser to get access to the internet.

Of course this is difficult to do with the ESP since you have neither a web browser with a graphical interface, nor a mouse to click any buttons.

Instead, we can emulate the click on the button by sending a specific `HTTP GET` request to the access point.

There is [one example][micropython-example] for use with MicroPython and a [second example][arduino-example] for the Arduino IDE Boards Manager.
The arduino code uses the libraries `HTTPClient.h` and `WiFi.h` which should be built-in.
