And just yesterday I told someone to visit BBC when trying to connect to public wifi that requires a redirect to a login page first. Guess I'm going to have to find a new go-to http site now
- komali2 10y agoPerhaps zombocom? http://www.zombo.com/ http://www.zombo.com/
- goodplay 10y agoSpace-bar heater :) ON a more serious note, I always use http://example.com http://example.com. Being reserved and maintained by the IANA for documentation and testing, it's the most stable site I can think of.
- boulos 10y agoBe aware that plenty of ISPs sadly MITM example.com. I ran into this when our test suite that curl'ed example.com and checked its output failed when we ran our binary on a new provider.
- wanda 10y agohttp://something.com http://something.com or use what Google does when Chrome notifies you of a login gateway to public wifi: http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204 http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204

- moosingin3space 10y agoThere really should be a new, better solution to captive portals.
- deathanatos 10y agoThere is! RFC 7710[1] specifies a DHCP option/RA extension that encodes the URL of the captive portal, s.t. when, e.g. DHCP completes, the connecting machine immediately knows what the captive portal URL is, and doesn't have to get MitM'd to know it.
