Ick. This sort of layer-mixing is the sort that forces people to use a certain protocol for no actual reason. (Cf. the "feed" schema, which similarly forces HTTP with a certain interpretation, last I recall.) Tor doesn't just work with HTTP, and URIs don't only refer to HTTP resources, even if HTTP is one of the most popular protocols in use today and possibly the only one many non-technical people would recognize. Is there a reason not to use something like tor+http and tor+https for the schema, thus opening up the space for (as a facetious example) tor+nntp or analogous usages later? ---> Drake Wilson *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
