[bug] Notify user about mixed content exception

[nemesifier]

If the application is served on HTTPs, but the captive portal login / logout endpoints are served via HTTP, the browser throws a security exception which is not shown to the user and the loading overlay is displayed indefinitely.

It would be a lot better to show the message of the exception in a browser alert and clear the loading overlay.

Hello @nemesisdesign sir,
I have noticed that this issue has not been closed for a long time and that no one is working on it. I am interested in working on this issue, could you guide me in solving this one out?

[nemesifier]

@ujjwalkirti go ahead, just send a patch.

[ujjwalkirti]

Okay, sir.

Hello @nemesisdesign , can you help me reproduce this error?

I have setup the project and am able to create new user, login and logout as well.

[nemesifier]

@ujjwalkirti you need to serve the application from HTTPs and have it post the captive portal login to HTTP to replicate this.

Hello sir, I am not able to fully understand what do you mean when you say to serve the application from HTTPS.
I started the client and server using yarn start, and then went to url and changed http to https, but then the page won't load and the following error comes up.

Please help me so that I can move forward.

@ujjwalkirti You have to start the dev server on https. You can follow how to start https based dev server from here https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserver-https

After that use captive portal URLs in the config as http (already there in the config). You will see the error in console as specified in the issue description.
