I'm not sure if it's still in use but iPhones used to hit http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html to test connectivity.
I used to use it to test connectivity on my own apps because Apple is probably better at making sure a url reachable than I am.
- woodruffw 4y agoI believe they hit http://captive.apple.com http://captive.apple.com now (and that's what I use).
- bombcar 4y agoThey use more than that, I've seen it on the wire (to prevent DNS caching I believe). http://neverssl.com http://neverssl.com also works And https://1.1.1.1 https://1.1.1.1 breaks people's brains if they know enough
- petesergeant 4y agoI prefer https://1.1.257 https://1.1.257
- askvictor 4y agoEven more fun: https://16843009 https://16843009
- loevborg 4y agoI like http://uz http://uz
- erlendellingsen 4y agoWhenever I access a public Wi-Fi with login / captive portal, and the portal doesn’t show up immediately, I enter captive.apple.com in Safari to trigger it! Works every time (iPhone)
- wiseleo 4y agoI use example.com :) Less typing.
- rzzzt 4y agohttp://example.com http://example.com is also good.
- loginatnine 4y agoFor french speaking gals/guys, there's http://perdu.com http://perdu.com too (lost.com basically)
- t0bia_s 4y agoSame for Android which always call to Google everytime device connect to WiFi. At least you can change captive portal via ADB, I'm not sure if iOS let you do that too.
