About the scripting: The login attempt still fails when I enable JavaScript in NetSurf with the same behavior. However, with JavaScript enabled, I see errors from running the script in the console.

Either the web interface uses some incompatible scripting or NetSurf is missing support for some things.

Too bad! It would have been nice to use NetSurf as a light, locally installed browser for admin tasks. I love that I can build it from source in a reasonable time even on weak hardware and that it has such a small set of dependencies.

best regards
