popup of http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else is getting this page popping up constantly on their mbp or apple devices.

the page shows:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>

From what I have read about this url, it's a page that gets requested to confirm if the wifi is connecting via a captive portal. I believe this page contents are incorrectly html encoded, resulting in my computer thinking that it's behind a captive portal, and then serving the page results as if it was supposed to be a login/agreement of TOS.

Is there a way to turn this off completely? it's rather annoying.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Exact same problem here, on my late 2011 iMac running Mavericks. it didn't do this earlier today, but I turned it off and back on, and now here it is. It happens even before I get a chance to launch anything. And it happens about every 5 minutes. I only have one Wifi network in my list, and I have no cordless phones in the vicinity. I don't even have phone service here.
