post(onion-location): fix title
2020-10-24 01:02:43 +00:00
Tor Browser recently introduced "Onion Location" feature in [v9.5](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-95) to enable a (clearnet) website to advertise its onion service to users of Tor Browser by adding an HTTP header. When visiting a clearnet website that has onion service available and the relevant HTTP header, Tor Browser will display a ".onion available" button on the address bar. When user clicks on it, Tor Browser will redirects to the .onion address of the website. User could also opt-in the "Always Prioritise Onions" option and Tor Browser will automatically redirects to a website's .onion if detected. This feature was initially suggested back in [2017](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21952) and finally landed in v9.5.

![Redirected to onion service](20200603/redirected-onion.png)
The HTTP header is:
```
Onion-Location: http://xxx.onion
```
## Caddy
In Caddy, the header can be added by:
``` plain v1
example.com {
header / {
Onion-Location "http://xxx.onion"
}
}
```
``` plain v2
example.com {
header {
Onion-Location "http://xxx.onion"
}
}
```

## Netlify
Add custom header by using [`_headers`](https://docs.netlify.com/routing/headers/) file saved the root folder of your site:
``` plain _headers

```

## <meta> tag
If you don't have access to the web server to add the header (e.g. GitHub/GitLab Pages), you can add `<meta>` tag instead.
The tag should be added in `<head>`:
``` html
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Onion-Location" content="http://xxx.onion">
</head>
</html>
```
