Issue descriptionExample URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Enable data save function (if not already). 2. Connect to free wifi hotspot network. 3. Try to visit login page (via system popup). 4. Error message / blank page What is the expected behavior? In an wifi hotspot (captive portal) network, the browser must not use the data save server/proxy to access the login page. What went wrong? Android device connects to wifi network, tries to find out if there is a captive portal (GET /generate_204 from Google Server). The captive portal redirects the request to the login page (e.g. http://login.wifi) --> Android Popup "Login to network" appears. By trying to login, the browser (chrome) is launched and tries to load the login page (e.g. http://login.wifi) by using the data save server as proxy. This (of course) cannot work, because till now there war no login. If data save option is diabled, everthing works fine. So in my opionen the browser (chrome) must (of course) not use the data save server as proxy if the device OS (android) "knows" it has to login before getting access to the internet. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 61.0.3163.98 Channel: n/a OS Version: 7.0.0 Flash Version:

@telegant.sl -- Thanks for reporting this issue. Tried to find the captive portal after connecting a WiFi network by navigating to the URL below but page didn't load. URL: http://clients3.google.com/generate_204 Is there any other way to find the captive portal. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my late answer: As far as I see there is a captive portal detection on the device OS (Andriod or iOS). Because the device/OS reliable detects "i am behind a captive portal, i need to login", then launches browser to do so. So rather then developing an own check for captive portal detection, it is better to use the device status information (if possible) or there is a special system call when the browser is launched for login..
