The only real solution to this would seem to be some sort of standardisation about how captive portals should work, but the providers of these services don't seem like the sort who would jump on to that sort of thing quickly.

I'm actually kind of surprised that this hasn't happened yet, with the security concerns around how capacitive portals work.

I'm not super familiar with how the Wi-Fi connection process works, but I would expect that a URL for a capacitive portal could be provided during the connection handshake

Well, it would be standardized (which removes guessing), but it would have all the same security issues once the attacker gets in and injects some wireless frames, no?
