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.
