Does anyone know what to put in the nocatsplash makefile to make it redirect to a page off the internet?

it's something like outside redirect or not?

OK answered my own question...it is   --with-remote-splash


has anyone successfully used nocat with this option?

i have also been trying to get this to work. i tried both the nocatsplash 0.92 that comes with the white russian release and the 0.93pre2 ipk from sderle (nocat.net), but both don't seem to work with remote url splash. i am sure the ipk from sderle is compiled with the '--with-remote-splash' option. i've configured the appropiate options in /etc/nocat.conf, but when i run splashd it always says it got the static splash page and when testing it will serve the static splash.

the reason i want to have a remote splash is because i want the splash page to contain some haserl code and the static splash doesn't seem to work with that. i thought i'd redirect to the httpd that runs on openwrt itself and have that serve the splash page.

if someone could enlighten me, i'd appreciate it. i must be doing something wrong coz i can't find much info on this and i don't think i am the only one wanting to use this function. so it's probably not broken or i'd see more people asking questions about it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
