chunk-fetch

example of how a url looks like using chunk-fetch ipfs://someCidAsHostname/some/path

_ - hostname is ignored, url will start with the path and the path becomes the query, so ipfs://_/somepath becomes ipfs://somepath CID - a CID that is used for the query

method: HEAD - does not return a body, only returns headers
hostname:

• _ - ignores the hostname, path becomes the query
  path:
  • /path/to/dir/or/file - it can be any path including /, this path is the query that will be used with ipfs headers:
    • X-Copy - true | false - if true, a directory will be created with the CID, the data will be stored inside that directory. if false, the data will be stored using the path but without the new directory.
      
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      
• CID - a CID identifier for some data path:
  • / - used for a directory,if the CID is a directory
    headers:
    • X-Copy - true | false - if true, a directory will be created with the CID, the data will be stored inside that directory. if false, the data will be stored using the path but without the new directory.
      
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      
  • /path/to/file - used for a file, if the CID is a file headers:
    • X-Copy - true | false - if true, a directory will be created with the CID, the data will be stored inside that directory. if false, the data will be stored using the path but without the new directory.
      
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      

method: GET - return a body
hostname:

• _ - ignores the hostname, path becomes the query
  path:
  • /path/to/dir/or/file - it can be any path including /, this path is the query that will be used with ipfs
    headers:
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      
• CID - a CID identifier for some data path:
  • / - used for a directory if the CID is a directory
    headers:
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      
  • /path/to/file - used for a file, if the CID is a file headers:
    • X-Timer - String - a number for a timeout
      

method: POST - return a body
hostname:

• _ - ignores the hostname, path becomes the query
  path:
  • /path/to/dir/or/file - it can be any path including /, this path is the query that will be used with ipfs
    headers:
    • X-Opt - String - options to use for the content, stringified object
      

method: DELETE - returns a body
hostname:

• _ - ignores the hostname, path becomes the query
  path:
  • /path/to/dir/or/file - it can be any path including /, this path is the query that will be used with ipfs
    headers:
    • X-Opt - String - options to use for the content, stringified object
