Hello,
At work, I can only connect to the internet by going through a firewall (called "Cyberoam") where I need to supply a username and password before I can connect...
How does one handle this when using the CC3000? The code examples do not show how to do this...

That depends on the protocol use by the firewall. Is this an HTML thing? You open up the firewall in your browser to enter the username and password?

Yes, when I want to access the internet at work, I need to open a "Cyberoam" firewall web page on my institute's server. There in an HTML form I type in a username and password.
I only need to do this once - then I am connected to the net till I log off Cyberoam.

I forgot to add: there is also an application that Cyberoam provides that I can use to login. So I don't _have_ to use an HTML based login...

Do they require a secure (SSL) connection for that? The CC3000 does not have SSL support.

Ok, assuming that SSL is not used, how do I connect?

Ok, I just checked with my net-admin - I do not use SSL to login...

You need to know the logon protocol. If you run the logon application you should be able to examine the HTTP traffic with something like WireShark and see what you need to send to logon.Ok, assuming that SSL is not used, how do I connect?
