If a request is made for http://xyz, the page for xyz should be returned
and not a different page. Every computer on the Internet can reasonably
count on this happening, except for wifi users.

A half-way point between keeping and removing the splash page is what
wifidog is already doing: show the splash page once, then consider the
user authorized. A browser-less mobile device can be expected to make a
second attempt and that second attempt will go through.
