Proof of concept BFBC2/HTTP Redirector
As noted by a reddit post, reddit doesn’t accept bfbc2:// style links. It’s probably going to be a fairly common problem. I wrote a proof of concept script that just does a simple 302 redirect from http to bfbc2. The base URI is http://fitzsimmons.ca/bfbc2/[server string here]. You can enter a server string raw, or URLified (with bfbc2:// on the front) and the webserver will automatically redirect you to a URI that the handler can pick up.
Here’s a couple examples:
http://fitzsimmons.ca/bfbc2/2503473115,3fc5640a-7dbb-415f-9e45-ba6cec0562dc,A Bacon Server
This should allow you to link from places that only allow http style URIs. If this takes off at all, I’ll write a some info about what’s happening on the redirect page, for people that don’t have the handler set up.
