Hi all, first post Smiley

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?
