[Bug 1039042] Re: Detect captive portals when connecting to WiFi [$25]

[Cassidy James]

Of note: this is also considered a walled garden in addition to captive
portal. In case that helps anyone. Also, here is the code Android uses
to do its detection:

http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.1_r1/android/net/wifi/WifiWatchdogStateMachine.java#WifiWatchdogStateMachine.isWalledGardenConnection%28%29

This works because a captive portal will not return a 204 if it is
rerouting traffic.
