I'm trying to figure out a way to force out captive portal of iOS and open
safari instead, after I save my WiFi settings. I've managed to alter the
standard lib a little so it gets the IP of the AP and server.send before
closing the STA. Problem is, if captive portal does not detect a success
response from internet it does not allow me to open a link or move
automatically to Safari browser.

the idea behind this is to get automatically redirected to the boards IP
address after the AP connects

ok so how can i do the connection with the wifimanager, then i have a
confirmation page that shows the ip address for them is there a way to then
open a browser from there? i can long press and it opens the window is
there a way to do that automatically?

the .local is not reliable enough so i need to use the ip to acces the
board. how else could i do this ?
