I agree it sounds good for bridge bundles to include obfsproxy by default.
The flash proxy server is
[[https://gitweb.torproject.org/flashproxy.git/tree/HEAD:/websocket-
transport websocket-server]]. It doesn't make sense to put that in a
bridge bundle because we don't need lots of websocket bridges at different
addresses they way we do with obfsproxy. (The browser proxies take care of
the "different addresses" part.) The websocket bridges won't even be used
unless the facilitator knows about them.
(Aside: The websocket transport could be used apart from flash proxies as
a super-cheapo obfuscator. The WebSocket framing would offset the bytes
and maybe fool some pattern filters, also you could use the base64
WebSocket encoding. We're not shipping a websocket-client that works
without flash proxies, though.)
