I have an access point hosting a login page (which doesn't have actual internet access) and I'm using dnsmasq to answer all DNS requests with the IP address of this page. If an Android device connects, I want it to know that it's connected to a captive portal and show the "Sign-in to wifi network" prompt but this doesn't happen (the device just silently connects to the AP), although Wireshark shows that the HTTP GET requests for /generate_204
are properly responded with HTTP/1.1 200 OK
.
Any suggestions why this could be happening? Could there be something other than the response for /generate_204
that Android checks? I'm guessing that the detection fails if the device finds out that there's no internet access.
