There's no standard protocol in widespread use. Typically operating systems attempt to fetch a known resource when connecting to a new Wi-Fi network, and if it redirects, then they treat the destination as the captive portal sign-in page and display it with special chrome / modally. The URL each platform attempts to load varies by vendor and version.
