Captive portal detection & proxy

Hello,

I try to used captive portal detection with BigIP client, It works well, excepts on wifi with proxy.

Do you know if this fox can correct this problem ?

425377 BIG-IP Edge Client now correctly detects captive portal if requests go through tunnel and then through BIG-IP-defined proxy server.

Thanks for your help !

I've find this error logs on my BigIP client:

  • Reading the bug document it looks like this fix will possibly address your issue but it's hard to tell if you're encountering that exact bug without seeing the network connection settings.
