IPFS
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files.
In some ways, IPFS is similar to the World Wide Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle directed acyclic graph (DAG).
IPFS combines a distributed hash table, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other, except for every node they are connected to. Distributed Content Delivery saves bandwidth and prevents distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, a problem common with HTTP.

Here is what I've noticed:

This is fine for an example/test but is not good enough for production code. There's no indicat
There are multiple functions that return Result<T, ()> in the code, this is equivalent to Option<T>, however instead of changing those to optional types, these should return useful error messages/types so it's easier to debug.
Some of them could just retu
Seems that Firefox (around version 96-97) changed somethign and is now way more aggresive when a gateway does not start returning response immediately.
For example, first load (empty ipfs repo) of http://dist.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080/go-ipfs/v0.11.0 in Firefox 97 produces:



Now that go-ipfs-config supports optional types, we should go through and clean up as much of the existing config to use it so we have a consistent story on defaults, etc.
This work will be easier to do after ipfs/go-ipfs-config#151
The first step is to enumerate the various config keys we want to cleanup.
