3. Current state
I implemented a BridgePassword config option. Bridge authorities
should set it, and users who want to use those bridge authorities
should set it.
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.
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.
