Konqueror can also have plugins. There are several in kdeaddons.

However, remember a serious side-effect possible: if the page is requested 
twice but did not trigger the "portal page", you may end up posting some 
web information twice. That may very well be unacceptable.

On the other hand, you can easily circumvent this with a cron job and 
wget, lynx, curl or even telnet/nc.

BTW, hijacking HTTPS could cause serious problems. ISPs should be made 
aware of that.
