Most of the public and free (as in beer) Wifi spots force you to click on a freaking "Accept" button before you can use them.
In Vienna, for example, we have a free Wifi operator called "Freewave" who have quite acceptable coverage in and around restaurants, cafés, hotels, etc, etc. So I do have freewave wifi configured and "enabled" if you will in my Android phone.
Bad thing is, whenever I come close to a freewave hotspot, I have to click "accept" in order to get connectivity.
There is a freewave app for Android (and iOS), but it only helps you to locate the next hotspot, not to automatically sign in.
I used to have an app called "Wifi Browser Login" that would open a browser page, so I'd only need to accept without opening a browser first.
But this was still to cumbersome for me (talk about first world problems, eh).
What I had in mind was an app, that would detect that there was only a button to click (or sometimes a checkbox to select) and submit the HTML form. automatically
Just before I wanted to hack this myself I checked the play store and found WiFi Web Login, which does exactly this.
Even more, you can record the sequence on your first "login", and it will automatically replay it, when you connect to this wifi hotspot.
Works like a charm on freewave.
Haven't tried it with a real username/password situation yet, because I don't have any such Wifis.
There's a 3 day trial, and the "full" or perpetual version is just 1.22 EUR. So go for it.
Loving it.
