The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

CAT does provide a location query based on IP geolocation:
https://cat.eduroam.org/user/API.php?lang=pl&action=locateUser

It is not documented (sorry)

We do not support IPv6 though, this requires a rewrite which is still
pending.
