Description

I noticed that in 2.0REL captiveportal.inc adds an ipfw rule to forward all un-authenticated clients' TCP connections to lighttpd listening on 127.0.0.1,8000

captiveportal.inc line 571 (in git it's currently line 613)

add 65531 set 1 fwd 127.0.0.1,8000 tcp from any to any in

Perhaps there would be a benefit to only forward tcp connections that are destined to port 80 ? e.g.

add 65531 set 1 fwd 127.0.0.1,8000 tcp from any to any 80 in

It might serve to lessen the load on lighttpd in the case of large hotspots ...
