> I find it useful to have that http site when trying to use some hotel wifi where you need to connect through a splash page I’m in that situation frequently as well. While desktop Firefox deals with captive Wi-Fi portals, on mobile trying to open a personal site of mine over HTTP and letting the request get redirected seems to be the only way I can manage to unlock access to Wi-Fi in some airports. Even though that site gets little to no traffic except for myself or occasional crawler, the situation bothers me. The reason HTTPS breaks poorly implemented captive portals is directly related to why we’d want HTTPS in the first place. Unreliable or absent HTTPS means a user visiting your site is susceptible to request & response manipulation and injections of undesirable content, from trackers to malware, by an ISP or another intermediary.
