The caveat is that there are HTTP tests which can't be done via JS running on a webpage (due to things like access to HTTP headers, redirects, CORS etc). We...

I think this type of runner would do the trick, at least for gateways. Rewriting all the tests will be tedious, but doable in chunks. @darobin for I/O-less tests we...

@bertrandfalguiere there is a [basic redirect-based API in Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/protocol_handlers#Browser_compatibility), but none in Chrome yet. The`ipfs://` "work" if you have Companion in Chrome, but it relies on [creative hackery](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/issues/164) that works...

Quick note based on recent discussions: - Potential downside of Alt-Svc is dependency on [ALPNs from IANA](https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensiontype-values/tls-extensiontype-values.xhtml#alpn-protocol-ids) and being limited to protocol upgrade – no way to link to different...

For anyone following, a lengthy WebDAV exploration in the context of use with IPFS was published at https://blog.ipfs.tech/2022-10-13-ipfs-over-webdav/ (thanks @markg85!)

WebTransport (https://github.com/libp2p/specs/pull/404) could provide an interesting alternative here, but TBD if browser vendors will allow using it in localhost / LAN contexts.

Kubo already supports using OpenNIC TLDs (opt-in via [`DNS.Resolvers`](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/config.md#dns) configuration). I understand you are suggesting setting up custom TLD at OpenNIC, and ensuring it a resolver for that TLD is...

Thank you for writing this up @pimterry. Unfortunately, proposed mechanism for providing js-ipfs config (with up-to-date bootstrappers etc) is not enough for future-proofing. Applications deployed with very old versions of...

There are some recent developments which make it easier to work with content-addressed data, often removing the need for running full js-ipfs, or hardcoding some WebSockets providers, preload nodes for...

## Bad news Resolving TXT records does not happen in web browsers. Nor there is any API for that, even WebExtensions are lacking this capability ([Firefox bug from 2018](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1449171), chromium...
