Both iOS and android devices will detect for captive portals by simply checking for a standard URI resource (eg: http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html) and if that resource is blocked then you're offline, if that resource gets 302 or 307 redirected then it assumes there is a captive portal in place and they will open a browser. If that resource is found then they assume you are online and no browser is auto opened.
Android will open the standard browser on the phone or tablet to allow the user to authenticate. iOS devices will however open a pseudo browser which is a limited application which doesn't allow things like video playback popups etc.
Does this above stated behavior happens only in case of OPEN SSID?? Or it's independent of Wi-Fi SSID security configuration???
