I can see porting the javascript browser stuff at first, but it seems to
me that the protocol should be simple enough that a python script by
itself should do it. Then we could imagine volunteers doing an apt-get
install of the deb, and suddenly they're helping glue Tor users together,
even behind nat, without ever having to think about it again. Extra points
that these flash proxies would be way more stable than a typical browser
tab.
Hey speaking of which: in the Flashproxy model, the Tor bridge needs some
glue to pretend to be a webserver, since the Flash Proxy is only allowed
to talk certain protocols.
This outside-the-browser standalone Flash proxy wouldn't have such a
requirement -- does that mean it could (should) just interface with normal
Tor bridges directly?
