Comment (by alecmuffett):
Aside: I think you answered your own question when you said:
>the user agent could sent this header with the first request
...because that word "first" means state-maintenance; as with the "link
onion-enabling stuff with the first dropping of a session cookie" model,
there are three issues:
- not all sites want to use cookies / track their users; what then, re:
state-tracking?
- by linking the onion-enablement to "first drop", there is no opportunity
to revisit or "nudge" the user towards onion
and thirdly
- by eliding the six bytes of {{{Tor/1}}} from the header, you make it
somewhat harder for people to implement stuff like:
'''You are not Onion-Capable! We recommend that you run TorBrowser for
access to this site! '''
...which is potentially desirable for brand awareness :-)
