Technical specifications for the IPFS protocol stack
At the moment IPFS Gateway does not send content-length header in response when it receives Accept-encoding headers. This is problematic for caching that can only be performed when we know...
Lowercase identifiers are required in order to work with legacy URI, web browser security (sub)origins and the experimental [Protocol Handler API](https://github.com/mozilla/libdweb/issues/2). So we are moving to finish support for CIDv1...
I'd like to propose an optional extension to bitswap for requiring authorisation to retrieve a block. We've already implemented this and integrated it in Peergos. The proposal is to add...

Has anyone explored just requesting related content id's from a peer hosting an origin piece of content, post peer discovery? It seems they could just tell you of addresses to...
Context: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/issues/337 Currently, both js-ipfs and go-ipfs index blocks in the datastore by CID. Unfortunately, it's possible for a single block to have multiple CIDs due to (a) different CID...

We should at minimum update the protocol part of the spec to reflect the current message format. (perhaps we can include legacy formats as well?)
@jbenet mentioned in Lisbon that _now_ is the time to direct feedback at the Suborigin working group [1]. In fact it might already be too late as their 31-Jul-2016 was...
