Comment:

 Wait, you're transmitting all bridge fingerprints via HTTP GET requests to
 my personal VM.  Please don't do that.

 A better approach would be to download the list of
 [http://onionoo.torproject.org/summary/relays currently running relays]
 when BridgeT starts and compare locally.  If you want, you can update that
 list every, say, 5--15 minutes, though not for every bridge scan.

 Also note the onionoo.torproject.org URL in that link.  Please put that in
 instead of the IP address, so that we can move the service in the future
 without breaking BridgeT.
