Hello, I know that this is still a devel release, but it's worth noting that it would appear that it's the standard way of detecting captive portals.
It would appear that chromium and windows both user similar detection systems for captive portals. I can see this being quite a useful feature for people use use wifi at universities, on trains, coffee shops, etc... but I guess it would be good to let people run/configure their own endpoint somehow for those who want it? (unless it should be a post-connection hook? although I’m not sure that this would always work - for example "you have exceeded your allowed time" messages or such). http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/network-portal-detection http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/16/windows-7-network-awareness/ Regards, Joseph
