IPFS
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.
In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG).
IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other, except for every node they are connected to. Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a problem common with HTTP.

Here is what I've noticed:
ipfs.block.get- docs say it returns a
Block, but it returns aUint8Array - docs are missing the

- docs say it returns a
ipfs.block.put- docs say it can also take a
Blockas a parameter, but it can only be aUint8Array - docs say it can take a
cidas an option, but the implementation ignores such a parameter - docs say it returns a
Block, b

> in the code, this is equivalent to Option<T>, however instead of changing those to optional types, these should return useful error messages/types so it's easier to debug.

This is fine for an example/test but is not good enough for production code. There's no indicat
Seems that Firefox (around version 96-97) changed somethign and is now way more aggresive when a gateway does not start returning response immediately.
For example, first load (empty ipfs repo) of http://dist.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080/go-ipfs/v0.11.0 in Firefox 97 produces:




This is a pretty simple request (mostly a QOL type thing)
Right now in a gateway's folder view, users see a truncated version of their CID.
Users have requested the ability to copy that CID without having to click the link / copy the link and then extract the underlying CID from that string of text.
