If TLS  would somehow allow you to redirect...

No but it would be nice to have a solution that redirects the user
instead
of "this page can't load" creating confusion.

A well-known non-SSL (non-HSTS) URL that users could use for this purpose
would
serve the same purpose without producing the security problems mentioned.


A well known SSL certificate that if it appears during negotiation means
the application should "check for captive portal."
