** Description changed:

  Right now it is very annoying that when you connect to a captive wifi
  portal, the device does not detect that. All other devices open the log
- in page automatically, except ubuntu phones/tablets. One needs to
- manually open the browser, type a url and get redirected before being
- able to log in and start e.g. telegram messaging over the wifi
- connection.

  My proposed solution to solve this:
  When a WiFi connection is established, indicator-network should do a http GET 
call to ubuntu.com. If the reply turns out to be a redirect, it should open the 
browser with the redirect url.
