Severity:

Medium

Description:

Just calling attention to error upstream in node-fetch.

https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch/issues/1219

I was attempting to call dag.resolve() on 10+ cids in parallel and getting

FetchError: Invalid response body while trying to fetch http://ipfs:5001/api/v0/dag/resolve?arg=bafyreigl6kd23hvnh35rfeuhwedsh2s7y77zpql522hums3ghtpd2nro44: Premature close

  type: 'system',
   errno: 'ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE',
   code: 'ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE'
 }

UPDATE: As a workaround, you can force resolution of updated node-fetch in package.json. Just add this

// package.json
  "resolutions": {
    "node-fetch": "^2.6.7"
  },

this is still happening and i wonder how going back to v2 of node-fetch is good or smart? also how come that this is not a prior for the ipfs team?
