<p>Armory already supports donating with a syntax like this.  The syntax is as follows: </p>

You haven't addressed the question, you've just re-stated http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4987/bitcoin-url-scheme as already included and linked to in the question.

OP is looking for  services that support sending bitcoins to a HTTP(S) URL instead of having to enter a Bitcoin address directly, So, your answer is rather useless.

<p>Are there any Bitcoin clients or services that support sending bitcoins to a HTTP(S) URL instead of having to enter a Bitcoin address directly? (e.g. <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/2161/4975">for donations</a>)</p>

<hr>

<p>Webmasters could include their Bitcoin address in a <code>link</code> element in each page (same for the whole site or different for each page, e.g. to account which page generated which donation):</p>



<pre><code>&lt;link rel="payment" href="bitcoin:…" title="Donate bitcoins, if my article was of help to you"&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>href</code> attribute should contain the Bitcoin address, using the <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/4987/4975"><code>bitcoin</code> URI scheme</a>.</p>

<p>The <code>rel</code> attribute should have the value <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-payment" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>payment</code></a>. It’s defined as:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>RelPayment is a microformat for making exchanges of support (be it financial or otherwise) possible. By adding rel="payment" to a hyperlink a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink provides a way to show or give support for the current page. For example <strong>to give financial support to the owner of the current page</strong>. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>The (optional) <code>title</code> attribute could contain a small note, e.g. what the donations are used for, or who exactly would be the receiver etc.</p>

<hr>

<p>Tools (Bitcoin clients/services, browser add-ons etc.) could extract the Bitcoin address by looking for a link with the link type <code>payment</code> whose URI uses the scheme <code>bitcoin</code>.
If one enters a webpage URL that hasn’t linked a Bitcoin address, the tool should throw an error. For security reasons probably only <code>link</code> elements should be parsed (instead of <code>a</code>/<code>area</code>), otherwise e.g. commentators could include their own Bitcoin addresses.</p>

These things should probably be implemented by browsers, not by clients.

You could create a browser extension yourself that allows you to donate to the current page (when it supports it).

@e-sushi: It’s not a duplicate. A Bitcoin URI scheme is for representing a Bitcoin address as URI, while this question is about using HTTP URIs to send Bitcoin (which could *make use* of a Bitcoin URI specified on the HTML page).

# Support sending bitcoins using webpage URL?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-05-13)

Are there any Bitcoin clients or services that support sending bitcoins to a HTTP(S) URL instead of having to enter a Bitcoin address directly? (e.g. for donations)

Webmasters could include their Bitcoin address in a link element in each page (same for the whole site or different for each page, e.g. to account which page generated which donation):


The href attribute should contain the Bitcoin address, using the bitcoin URI scheme.
The rel attribute should have the value payment. It’s defined as:

RelPayment is a microformat for making exchanges of support (be it financial or otherwise) possible. By adding rel="payment" to a hyperlink a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink provides a way to show or give support for the current page. For example to give financial support to the owner of the current page. 

The (optional) title attribute could contain a small note, e.g. what the donations are used for, or who exactly would be the receiver etc.

Tools (Bitcoin clients/services, browser add-ons etc.) could extract the Bitcoin address by looking for a link with the link type payment whose URI uses the scheme bitcoin.
If one enters a webpage URL that hasn’t linked a Bitcoin address, the tool should throw an error. For security reasons probably only link elements should be parsed (instead of a/area), otherwise e.g. commentators could include their own Bitcoin addresses.

The client [Electrum](http://electrum.org/) seems to support something like that (using a different method): [Aliases](http://electrum.org/bitcoin_URIs.html):

> Aliases may be server names (e.g. `ecdsa.org`) or email-like addresses (e.g. `john.doe@ecdsa.org`)  
> The corresponding Bitcoin address is retrieved by the client, using a descriptor located at a canonical url.

Armory already supports donating with a syntax like this.  The syntax is as follows: 
bitcoin:1ArmoryXcfq7TnCSuZa9fQjRYwJ4bkRKfv?amount=1.0&label=Armory%20Developers&message=Donation%20to%20Armory

See https://bitcoinarmory.com/ for the reference of where I got this from, it's at the bottom of the page before the QR code.
That's just an http link where it is using bitcoin: as a prefix similar to how email links are setup, it has the bitcoin amount, the label, and the the address all pretty clearly labeled here.
