CCA login script for Linux and other Unix-based machines
09/12/05
With Resnet's requirement to log into the flawed CCA system regularly (currently weekly), I was looking for a way to automate that.
So, I looked at the login webpage, and wrote a Perl script to handle the login.
This allows users with Linux machines or other Unix-based computers (e.g., Mac OS X) to automate the login process with a cron job.
Update: the script also works when run from a remote location, as long as the IP address parameter is the IP address of your machine within Resnet.
Update 2: This file can be run directly from crond, e.g., every couple of minutes, to check if the network connection is still available. The file checks if it can ping the UCI webserver, and if not, uses the login script to log in to the CCA system. To use the file, update the IP address, UCINetID and password.

If you have a Linksys WRT54GS (GS, not G), you can use this enhanced firmware that automatically keeps you logged in. Navigate to http://192.168.1.1/CCA.asp to configure the clean access setup. Use at your own risk. If you upload a non-Linksys firmware (such as this one) to your device, you will loose your warranty. I will try to add some documentation about the firmware in the next days (source code included).
