My iPhone constantly misses captive portals and I have to hunt for a non-ssl website. I can't say if it's 5% or 30% of networks, but enough to be frustrating.

My iPhone constantly misses captive portals and I have to hunt for a non-ssl website. I can't say if it's 5% or 30% of networks, but enough to be frustrating. Does anyone know if it is common for apple.com to be whitelisted for iMessage or something?
- rmccue 10y agoThe captive portal browser (pop-up on macOS, slide-over on iOS) doesn't support full JavaScript or cookies (or previously didn't, maybe that has changed), so some captive portals specifically allow the captive portal test domains through. There's actually a huge list of domains that macOS/iOS try: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18891706/ios7-and-captive-portals-changes-to-apple-request-url http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18891706/ios7-and-captive...
- gumby 10y ago> The captive portal browser (pop-up on macOS, slide-over on iOS) I have never seen a captive portal interceptor on MacOS (much to my disappointment), only iOS. Is there some setting I previously screwed up?
- pfranz 10y agoI've never seen a setting for it. It's just a modal dialog with a webview. Like iOS, you have "Cancel" as an option until it connects and changes to "Done." Here's a screen shot I found: https://www.wireless.bris.ac.uk/gfx/eduroam-osx/captive_portal.png https://www.wireless.bris.ac.uk/gfx/eduroam-osx/captive_port...
- gumby 10y agoDrat, I've never seen that on OS X. Just on iOS. Because of this thread I simulated it on my network and couldn't cause it to show up.
