#15035: URI format for bridges --------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: eighthave | Owner: n8fr8 Type: task | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Orbot | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: uri, url, bridge | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------------+-----------------------
Comment (by eighthave): After a couple of years of working with URLs for sending info around in Zom, F-Droid, etc. I think should revisit the original ideas of these bridge URIs. To make the URI clickable in as many places as possible, it must be a http:// or https:// URI. @n8fr8 & Co did nice work for https://zom.im for a URI format. I think its a good example for what bridge URIs should be. For bridges, we could use something like https://torproject.org/#bridge=foo Maybe it still makes sense to define two URI formats: * https:// for sending via messages, etc. so they are clickable * bridge:foo for cases where the software handling them knows what it is handling, e.g. QR code read by a scanner built into a tor-enabled browser Then the concern there is the person distributing the URI needs to know which one is the most appropriate. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15035#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
