Denver WiFi isn’t so great after all
A few months ago I was excited to learn that Denver Airport’s WiFi was free.
On my second visit to this service, they appear to break the Web by encapsulating websites within a Sub-frame so they can display persistent text ads from Google.
This framing not only obfuscates the actual location of a web page (It seems stuck on the initial request location and never varies from that page address), but it destroys almost every webpage dashboard layout I attempted to view.
Denver WiFi forced frame breaks Yallery
Even the Yallery pop-up window was corrupted. This negated the only solution we could find that would allow people with 1024×768 sized displays, but on browsers crowded with toolbars and sidebars to display Yallery.
Cookie? What Cookie?
This “man in the middle” encapsulation also kills IP-based identification as a result of proxying the request and removing all state.
Blah.
