Chillispot login with Python (and curl)
As our campus is using Chillispot for local LAN management one sometimes has to fire up a browser to see why nothing is getting through. Because Webkit-based Epiphany has a bug that doesn't properly load the login page, I have to start up a second browser, fetch some random url to see whether my network session has been expired and finally log in if it's the case.
I got a bit tired of this so I made myself a Chillispot auto-login script :)
I also found a Murphy's law that might summarize what I feel:
Whenever you need a crucial file from the server, the network will be down.
