Yes I was surprised to learn last year that wifidog works that way. One reason wifidog was looked at was stability problems with nocat, so they all have their flaws. I'm suggesting the concept not the software. Authorizing the user after first display of the splash page seems to be a low-overhead way to implement browserless wifi device access, whatever software package is used.
