Description
This is a placeholder for writing a specification on how /ipfs
and /ipns
paths are intended to work on HTTP Gateways and other Web contexts, such as ipfs://
and ipns://
in browsers with native, verifiable handler for these schemas.
Initial Scope Idea
- Should be at https://specs.ipfs.tech/web-pathing/ (very important)
- This is not "just" writing down UnixFS pathing. Web Pathing is about defining a MVP subset of IPFS and conventions to ensure interop with the web.
- This is not only about HTTP URLs for Gateways, but will also inform behavior of native
ipfs://
andipns://
(e.g. Brave, ipfs-chromium), which is expected to be the same on both.
Things the specs MUST cover
