Feature request: More web pages like hotspot

As we know Hotspot can handle many login pages. It is very very useful for us. I want to do same on Web proxy. I`m using web proxy for content filtering with error page and for redirect to payment reminder page using proxy error page. If possible I want to use more pages for different payment reminders and different filtering clients. Using external pages, not good idea. I think principle of Web proxy and Hotspot is similar. Sorry if I am wrong.

Redirect users in webproxy to yourrouterip/yourhotspotdirectory/proxydir1 or proxydir2... Etc. It works x) but you neet to have the 80 port opened!

Place the html page in a folder (e.g. debtor) and upload the folder into the hotspot folder in your router. Then deny in web proxy and redirect to 192.168.123.250/debtor/error.html. 192.168.123.250 must be the IP Address of the hotspot interface on the router.

Yes. Activation of hotspot server hijacks port 80 from the default home page and makes the hotspot folder available as root directory on port 80.

Eh, I hate inserting a cross reference, but look at

Though in my opinion:

I heartily disagree. When you can use an external server, you should. Not only will that device be better at being a web server (routers make very poor web servers, and - in my opinion - also very poor proxies), but it will also support more features.
