Backend for IPFS.

Trait Implementations

IPFS’s stat behavior highly depends on its implementation.

Based on IPFS Path Gateway Specification, response payload could be:

  • UnixFS (implicit default)
    • File
      • Bytes representing file contents
    • Directory
      • Generated HTML with directory index
      • When index.html is present, gateway can skip generating directory index and return it instead
  • Raw block (not this case)
  • CAR (not this case)

When we HEAD a given path, we could have the following responses:

  • File
