Controlling window size of public Wi-Fi connection page - safari

Not sure how to reference this page, as I can't find any similar questions, but I'm building a Wi-Fi page to redirect users to once they connect to our public Wi-Fi, and I'm wondering if I can control the size of the pop-up connection page. On Windows, it's a full instance of Edge with an address bar, etc., but on Mac, it's a trimmed down, small Safari window. Is this possible?
Any help would be appreciated.

WebRTC Screen Sharing - Few windows go blank intermittently

I implemented the ShareScreen of Web RTC.
But when "Choose Share Screen" popup opens,few of the windows keep flickering and show blank content (black screen) most of the time. On selecting one of those windows and doing screen share, the peer also gets the same flickering.
Please help. I have attached the image link which shows the problem https://webrtc.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=43840000000&name=Screenshot.png&token=ABZ6GAdcyh_dpvmXdbR02t3LX72wbfE4Qg%3A1425623918522&inline=1

Please check your signalling server. This error occurs only when something wrong in your signalling server. Similar kind of error occured to me. I used nodeJS. Sometimes handshakes may be established, but data have to be transferred for sharing.
For instance check whether the request and response is prompt.
This is a known issue in Chrome on Windows:

Try to migrate to FF or to Linux...

Screen Sharing on webRTC

Is it possible to capture desktop screen sharing through webRTC.. As we know that it just captures the screen on the browser tab but is it possible to capture the whole desktop screen like navigating through files on computer or opening and viewing files like pdf etc..
Currently, only "stateless" screen capturing is available in RTCWeb implementations (both chrome & firefox). E.g.
Install chrome extension and then try this demo
Above demo will simply capture screen of "any" opened application's screen. Though, such screen capturing API fails to capture screens of full-screen game applications.
More information available here:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/desktopCapture (HTTPs+getUserMedia+postMessage)
Regarding remote desktop sharing from a web-browser, it has a pile
more security risks associated with it compared to screen sharing. The
UI/security aspects will be tough to deal with, and the feature will
be very susceptible to social engineering -- phone call: "this is
Google/Dell/Computer-Management; we've detected your machine has a
virus on it; could you browse to and we'll assist you in
removing it" -- etc. Ref
Yes, it's possible. At least using Chrome. There are several ways of doing it, but the simplest one is:
Add this constaint when you invoke getUserMedia:
constraints.video.mandatory.chromeMediaSource = 'screen'
When starting chrome, use this argument (chrome version > 35):
--enable-usermedia-screen-capturing
You can find an example of sharing screen and recording the shared screen at a remote server repository here:
https://github.com/Kurento/kurento-tutorial-js/blob/develop/kurento-recorder-screen/static/index.js
If you try to execute that example, play close attention to the security restrictions. All signalling needs to travel using TLS. Using raw HTTP will produce chrome to refuse sharing screen.
Yes it is. I recently worked on WebRTC and was able to stream desktop easily. Following links helped me implement my requirements :
Firefox Extension : http://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/
Dont forget to add your *.github.io to about:config -> getUserMedia screensharing allowed domains
Google Chrome extension : https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/samples#search
Open this in Run : Chrome.exe --enable-usermedia-screen-capturing

IE10 in Win RT can not connect server on local network

When I browse the web with IE10 in win8's Metro part there is no problem but when I try to view page that is located on server in my local network(the same subnet) it displays this message:
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://192.168.1.100 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
If following these suggestions didn't work, resetting your connection might help.
Reset connection [<-a button here]
Get more help with connection problems
Now the funny part is that there is an option in metro version of ie10 to open page on desktop (in regular IE10) and than it works with no problem.
I can't find or think of any security setting that would restrict browsing websites inside your own local network.
(this is Windows 8 32Bit Release Preview build 8400)
Any ideas?
This is related to EPM (Enhanced Protected Mode) in IE10. It's hard to summarize in an answer here, but Eric Lawrence (a PM on the IE team) has an excellent post detailing everything about EPM:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2012/03/23/understanding-ie10-enhanced-protected-mode-network-security-addons-cookies-metro-desktop.aspx
In particular, read the "Loopback-blocked" and "Private Network resources" sections.
In your case, you might try one of these approaches:
Try aliasing the dotted hostname (http://192.168.1.100) via a custom DNS entry (e.g. http://myservice)
Change the Trusted Zones settings
See if your network connection was established as sharing or non-sharing, which would trigger private vs. public mode.
Again, see Eric's post for the details of each of these.

ios: How to display "choose wireless connection" popup?

If there is no internet connection and you start for example the safari app with Ipad or Iphone, a popup appears saying: "Choose wireless network"
Is there a way to force this popup to show up in my app when I want to?
The problem is, I have a button in my app which connects the user to facebook. After pressing the button the safari browser opens and shows the facebook authorization page. If there is no internet connection this popup appears, but there is no way to turn back to the app from there. So currently I check internet connection before allowing this authorization page to appear, but I also want to show this popup.
It will show up automatically if your app tries to access internet-based resource and there's no wifi connection established but there is a wifi access point nearby.
This dialog appears automatically if you have "Application uses Wi-Fi" set to YES in your ...-Info.plist and if there is no connection.
This is not possible. The pop-up you have seen before is in Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Ask to Join Networks -> ON/OFF
Setting this to ON allows the OS to prompt the user to join a Wi-Fi network if it finds any in reach and you are not currently connected to one.
Apps cannot show this prompt, it's a system-level prompt.

iOS bring up WiFi authentication sheet

I'm having a problem with my iPad app not bringing up the WiFi authentication when it tries to access the network. When I first open the app and need to connect the panel will show, however if I lock the iPad and come back to it after the WiFi login session has timed out, the panel doesn't display.
Is this something I need to be coding for? My understanding was the panel came up automatically whenever you tried to use the network.
I don't think you can code for it. Probably the user needs to toggle the wifi connection (switch it off and on) to get iOS to reconnect.
