+3. Current state
-so the bridge users need to know a) a password, and b) a bridge
-authority line.
+ I implemented a BridgePassword config option. Bridge authorities
+ should set it, and users who want to use those bridge authorities
+ should set it.
-the bridge users need to know the bridge authority line.
+ Now there is a new directory URL "/tor/networkstatus-bridges" that
+ directory mirrors serve if BridgeAuthoritativeDir is set and it's a
+ begin_dir connection. It looks for the header
+ Authorization: Basic %s
+ where %s is the base-64 bridge password.
-the bridge authority needs to know the password.
+ I never got around to teaching clients how to set the header though,
+ so it may or may not, and may or may not do what we ultimate want.
+ I've marked this proposal dead; it really never should have left the
+ ideas/ directory. Somebody should pick it up sometime and finish the
+ design and implementation.
