* This is a NodeJS script that crudely simulates a captive portal. It is
* intended for use by QA and engineering while working on the captive portal
* feature in Firefox.
*
* It maintains the authentication state (logged in or logged out). The root
* URL ("/") displays either a link to log out (if the state is logged in) or
* to log in (if the state is logged out). A canonical URL ("/test") is
* provided: when this URL is requested, if the state is logged in, a "success"
* response is sent. If the state is logged out, a redirect is sent (back to
* "/"). This script can be used to test Firefox's captive portal detection
* features by setting the captivedetect.canonicalURL pref in about:config to
