The Guardian has moved to HTTPS

They usually work by MITMing your connection to whatever site you're trying to visit and serving an HTTP redirect (maybe 307?) to the captive portal page.

As a substitute for The Guardian, maybe try http://example.com?

But eventually all the sites will be HTTPS - I've no idea what non-techy users do when faced with this apparent brokenness.

I’d be surprised if example.com goes https-only. Regardless, if all sites go https only then free wifi providers will have to come up with some other way of redirecting you to their signup page.
