| How did you reach this conclusion? At least with devices running iOS, if you let the charge
drop to zero, and it loses its cached network settings,
and then when you try to reconnect to your home wifi router,
it will look for a file called library/test/success.html at www.apple.com which contains one line: Success. If that file is missing, you will not be allowed to connect
to your own home LAN, because Apple thinks you are behind a
"captive portal". I redirect *.apple.com to stop iAd, ntp
and other Apple crap even when I'm connected to the internet,
so unlike the OP, this is a problem even when www.apple.com
is not down for maintenance. One solution is to redirect www.apple.com to your own httpd
serving a local copy of /library/test/success.html. In short, you are wrong. Redirect apple.com comains to your
own httpd and read your logs. There is lots of dialing home coming from iOS and indeed some
of it will affect your ability to read content. |
