Title: Bitcoin URIs and navigation between apps and wallets Post by: rnbrady on July 21, 2013, 02:19:41 PM Hi all, first post :)
I am working with the bitcoin URI scheme to launch the wallet to pay for an action. I can't see an easy way to take the user back to where the URI was invoked from after the payment is made. I know this is not something that is generally supported, so it will require some thought. To me payments resemble authentication in the sense that there might be a challenge response mechanism similar to HTTP Digest authentication. So let's say my browser requests a resource from the web, it might get challenged with a 402 Payment Required which contains a Bitcoin URI. This should launch my wallet and give the the option to make the payment. One I click "Pay" for example, I would like to automatically navigate back to the browser and repeat the request. Hence the analogy to digest auth. Any thoughts on what this might look like? |
