I'll have to remember that for next time I get "wireless on the train doesn't work, I get some security error" via SMS.
Last time I pointed them at one of my sub-domains that still serves plain HTTP to bring up the captive portal (which wasn't trying to charge, or apparently even advertise, the network just insisted you hit it at least once to be told "Hello!" and presumably have your MAC added to the whitelist for a time).
The name "neverssl" might confuse non-techies though. Maybe I'll register something like iswirelessbroken.com for doing the same thing.
