When iOS cannot fetch the fixed content of www.thinkdifferent.*, a UIWebView pops and displays that content, assuming it's a captive portal needing attention.

Instead, there should be some non-routable, local-only special IPv4/IPv6 address that all captive portals are required to present.

No more DNS spoofing, no more page rewriting which breaks the web.
