Hi there
According to the following article...

AnyConnect Behavior
This section describes how the AnyConnect behaves.
- AnyConnect tries an HTTPS probe to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) defined in the XML profile.
- If there is a certificate error (not trusted/wrong FQDN), then Anyconnect tries an HTTP probe to the FQDN defined in the XML profile. If there is any other response than a HTTP 302, then it considers itself to be behind a captive portal.
-----------------------------
...AnyConnect only recognises a Captive Portal if redirected by HTTP. No word about what happens with DNS redirects.
Microsoft uses www.msftncsi.com to detect connectivity, Google does it by checking http://clients3.google.com/generate_204. All DNS checks.
So is it true, that AnyConnect Portal Detection does not work in Hotspot/Hotel Environments where just DNS redirects are used?
Thanks
