Checklist

• I have used Fallback Mode + Capture HTML, OR sanitized my files to remove PII
• I have searched my capture file for my WiFi SSID and password to verify they're not present
• I understand this may take time as it requires developing a custom parser
• I'm willing to test the parser once it's developed

Hi Richard, thanks for the submission.

The integration capture only got the login page - form-based auth blocked the status pages. This is a known limitation I'm working to fix in v3.12 (feature/v3.12.0) with a new auth system that will parse login forms automatically.

You're on Vodafone Germany with a Compal modem - same as #80 (CH7466CE). These likely share auth patterns, so one implementation should cover both.

Just to note, this is a solo project - I've shared more context in Discussion #88. Adding to the backlog; once auth work is ready, I'll circle back.

Here is a new capture file, made with HACC Version 3.12:

Thanks for the v3.12 capture!

Unfortunately, the auto-auth system didn't recognize the Compal login form - the capture still shows fallback mode with 0 channels. The Compal/Vodafone login pattern isn't one we've implemented yet.

To build the auth adapter, I need to see the actual login flow. Could you run a HAR capture?

pip install "har-capture[full]"
har-capture get 192.168.100.1

This opens a browser. Log in normally, navigate to the status/connection pages (anywhere that shows channel info), then close the browser. Attach the resulting .sanitized.har.gz file here.

See har-capture documentation for more options.

is this file better?

Hi @RichardBeisser, sorry for the long silence on this one.

Your February HAR confirmed the login flow but didn't include the channel data requests. The status page fires those over XHR after load, and the capture tool back then was closing too early to catch them. I had no good fix and the thread stalled.

har-capture 0.9 added a step that waits for those requests to finish before closing. If you have time, could you try a fresh capture?

pip install -U "har-capture[full]"
har-capture get http://192.168.100.1 --patterns network-device

Log in as before, click through to the channel status page, then close the browser. Attach the new .sanitized.har.gz here.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi @RichardBeisser — sorry for the slow turnaround on this one. When you have a chance, the har-capture run from my last comment is what I need to continue. Grab 0.10.0 if you haven't already:

pip install "har-capture[full]==0.10.0"

If you've moved on from the modem or the integration, just let me know and I'll close this out.
