I do not remember any portal using 511 status. At least the ones we
tested have not used it. However we have seen hotspots that are using
200 success status code and still just give you a portal page.

Trying to rely on the HTTP status is pretty much a bad idea. You need
something a bit more trust worthy. The ConnMan support for WISPr
actually uses special vendor HTTP headers to confirm the connection.
