hostap and http proxy functionality...

[Projekt Manager]

Hi,

I can see 2 possibilities, but there can be more.

1. Implement a firewall (Netfilter iptables recommended) that allows
access only to your "server" where the client software is hosted, so
that people can reach it on the public Internet.  We implemented
something similar, albiet with logic involved that notes that a certain
user is not authenticated and lets auth credentials be sent to a central
server.  Something like a captive portal.  Check out http://nocat.net,
but there are others.

2. How about using the HostAP linux box itself for hosting the client
for download.  Ex: Run apache on it and offer the client as a http(s)
download.

Best regards
