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.

Severity: Very Low
Description:
I tried using an instance of the https client using TS just like how it's in the docs. When I did create the instance my IDE complained about type errors.
Steps to reproduce the error:
I created the instance like this by looking at the [README](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/ma
In Settings : 'Add a new side account' button
Step #2 in Side account creation

> 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.

Involves running two scripts simultaneously; they then connect to each other. Each one does this before calling findPeers

This is fine for an example/test but is not good enough for production code. There's no indicat
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:


Rationale
Currently IPFS doesn't expose any way to know if a gateway is running and what it's URL is. One could opt to use the IPFS API to figure this out but that's quickly rather complicated to implement properly. Providing a file indicating that a gateway is running where the content of the file is the gateway URL would be a simple portable way for applications to detect a running IPFS gatew
