[c-nsp] Cisco ScanSafe, aka Cisco Cloud Web Security

Helllo Pui,

Thanks for the pointers but I think you misunderstood my question. I know
how to set up a captive portal for WiFi access.

What I wanted to know is how are users logging into captive portals when
the browser has a proxy set and it tries to send all requests to the proxy
server which until they authenticate to the captive portal they cannot
reach ?
