Bug Description
GNOME had introduced automatic login prompt for Wi-Fi captive portals (Wi-Fi access points which require Web-based login, such as those found in public places) quite a while ago. However, this functionality is still unavailable in Ubuntu GNOME. I don't know if I'm missing a package or a configuration option, but it's not available in default Ubuntu GNOME installations up to and including Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 (Zesty) Alpha 2. Enabling this function by default would be very helpful.

I'm interested in getting this implemented by default for Ubuntu GNOME but I need to try to figure out if there are reasons why it wasn't enabled earlier.
