The latest iOS release of BSV Browser improves the application’s handling of HTTP 402 responses involving non-HTML files and includes broader performance improvements.

HTTP 402 handling connects web requests with payment requirements. Extending that support beyond conventional web pages can help the browser process a wider range of payment-enabled content and services.

Published by BSV Association, BSV Browser combines ordinary mobile browsing with an on-device, self-custodial BSV wallet. It provides a BRC-100-compliant interface through which websites can request wallet functions subject to user permissions, including payments, identity functions, encryption and transaction signing.

The browser also supports peer-to-peer payments, identity management, local wallet storage, deep linking and background transaction monitoring through ARC event streams.

BSV TIMES read:
This is an incremental but useful mobile-infrastructure update. Payment-enabled applications need browsers and wallets to interpret payment requests reliably across different forms of content. Better HTTP 402 handling helps reduce friction at the point where websites, services and user-controlled wallets meet.
