How to find captive portal page at BOSwifi (Logan Airport wifi)?
At Logan Airport in Boston USA, there's a public network called BOSwifi. On my Macbook Air laptop, it used to work, but now after the wifi connects, I can't go to any web pages - I believe it's because the captive splash page is waiting for me to click "Accept" but no browser brings it up anymore. How do I force it to show me the captive page? I don't see it in any browsers' history, and restarting, or forgetting the wifi network doesn't work. Does anyone know the splash page for BOSwifi or how to find it? My iPhone can get on, but I can't get Safari to tell me what the splash page URL was.

Edit: after looking into this further with the help of the user Spiff, the solution below could lead to security issues should a potentially malicious admin have whitelisted the site captive.apple.com in order to set tracking cookies.
A better solution would be to visit some other insecure HTTP page to attempt the redirection.
To force redirection to a captive portal - visit captive.apple.com
If you are connected successfully - you will see "Success".
Otherwise, it should load the captive portal page.
