Description
The recent hoops that have to be jumped through to get remote control working with HTTPS got me thinking that josm:// protocol would be more elegant and user-friendly solution to this problem.
What is your opinion on this?
Of course, it could coexist with HTTP(S).

This would be an excellent idea, unfortunately not really doable without major and complex coding effort. This is very tied to the OS (and maybe also browser). There is not a single Java API allowing to register a new protocol to external applications, this would involve a lot of native code. The
http://protocol remains the more practical/portable choice.
