Indeed. This should really be the responsibility of the Wifi stack, which imposes the restriction and sits on a lower level than the HTTP stack. My gopher connections never work when I am behind a captive portal!

There is the standard 8952. But it nowhere implemented yet. it uses https, dhcp and ra to give the client the captive portal information.

It is though. I've implemented a captive portal that uses this successfully for sending modern mobile OS like Android and iOs through captive portal. Marcos works fine too, also newer windows.

Many of those networks block most ports except http, https basically.
