This BIP describes an extension to the bitcoin: URI scheme (BIP 21) to
 
support the payment protocol (BIP 70).
 
 
 
==Motivation==
 
 
 
Allow users to click on a link in a web page or email to initiate the
 
payment protocol, while being backwards-compatible with existing
 
bitcoin wallets.
 
 
 
==Specification==
 
 
 
The bitcoin: URI scheme is extended with an additional, optional
 
"request" parameter, whose value is a URL from which a PaymentRequest
 
message should be fetched (unsafe and reserved octets in the URL value
 
must be encoded as described in RFC 1738).
 
 
 
When Bitcoin wallet software that supports this BIP receives a
 
bitcoin: URI with a request parameter, it should ignore the bitcoin
 
address/amount/label/message in the URI and instead fetch a
 
PaymentRequest message and then follow the payment protocol, as
 
described in BIP 70.
 
 
 
Bitcoin wallets must support fetching PaymentRequests via http and
 
https protocols; they may support other protocols.
 
 
 
If a PaymentRequest cannot be obtained (perhaps the server is
 
unavailable), then the customer should be informed that the merchant's
 
payment processing system is unavailable.
 
 
 
==Compatibility==
 
 
 
Wallet software that does not support this BIP will simply ignore the
 
request parameter and will initiate a payment to bitcoin address.
 
 
 
==Example==
