Re: the 'disturbing' Google chatter/endpoint, a 204 HTTP status reponse is also the expected code for a pre-flight OPTIONS request to support CORS.

The disturbing part is the domain name not the status code.

Naturally. I'm just saying that I would have thought it had something to do with that first, before the captive portal clue.

I assume React Native doesn't require CORS, like the web version does?
