About Captive-portals	English (USA)
Captive Portals are a perennial source of annoyance on the Internet. Current practice around them is fairly ad hoc; therefore, a first step at improving the situation would be to document current practice, with an eye towards encouraging alignment in behaviour. Beyond that, there are a number of interesting problems to solve. See https://github.com/httpwg/wiki/wiki/Captive-Portals for more information.
