0000892: Windows Vista and 7 uses a special user agent to detect network connectivity
User Agent "Microsoft NCSI" hit our captive portal often.

NCSI stands for Network Connectivity Status Indicator

I think that we should block it (return 403) but I'm not so sure. I will need to test.
No tags attached.
