I'm not aware of any published standard for "captive portals". Or any
IPV4 "host authentication" mechanism, However "transparent proxying"
is rather difficult without breaking RFC791 sometimes additionally
performing a "Man in the Middle" attack.

Is Apple really to blame if they make changes which result in what is
basically a "hack" failing?
