Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:7945 aallai]:
 > In the short term (the lifetime of a circuit?), a client needs the same
 relay. This is because switching relays will change the websocket bridge's
 fingerprint, which Tor will not tolerate. We need to consider this when a
 proxy goes down and the client is given a new one.

 Alas, it's longer than the lifetime of the circuit. It's basically the
 lifetime of the Tor client process using that bridge.

 See #4624 and its subticket #3292. They appear stalled because nobody has
 worked out what exactly the behavior should be. For #3292 in this case I
 think it would be sufficient to just have a torrc option to tell Tor not
 to care about bridge fingerprints.

 Or maybe an option on the bridge line itself, to specify that you don't
 want it to check the fingerprint once it knows it? That approach seems a
 bit less klunky.
