Specify how nicknym discovers the location of the nickserver
There are many options for how a nicknym client should discover what url to query for a provider:
- use https://DOMAIN:PORT
- use https://nicknym.DOMAIN
- use https://DOMAIN/provider.json, following whatever URL is specified in the json file
- use DNS SRV record, like how XMPP works
- use https://DOMAIN/.well-known, like how webfinger works
I would like to use provider.json. For this to work, the platform and key manager both need to be changed.
